Its an industry that has been way overcrowded with people, that somehow still think they all are entitled to make money, its just now maturing in some form (whether in a good or bad way remains to see...)

I agree. So what VenusBlogger needs to do is open up betteryouporntube.com and lease a server or two in Turkey. Then hire a manager from the third world for $500 a month and tell him "I don't care how you do it but I want 100-1,000 new 10-30 minute porn clips a day on my tube. What some people do is go to PornBB and other forums to find content but please don't do that because it would be illegal unless a real user uploads it. I can't have any knowledge of anything illegal like that. That would be bad. Very bad. Wink, wink. I'll check your progress next month to see if I still can pay you the $500 next month too."
After a couple years you'll be a Bro and swimming in hookers and blow. Everyone will kiss your ass. Paysite sales will sky rocket when 100,000 legal tubes all decide to turn illegal (ER, legal users of the DMCA). It will be like 1997 all over again. Everyone will be rich.
It's not as if just anyone can steal content and open up tubes, forums, and file lockers with the stolen content. No sir. There's no way the 10,000 affiliates won't start doing this when all the sponsors start screwing them over and begin selling dating and cams on their new YouPorn clone. They can't. It takes special skills they don't have. Besides those Russian affiliates won't do this because their government might crack down on them. They'll just be content to start making nothing.
