You are doing conspiracy theory here about cams and dating screwing affiliates more than pay sites. Ok you can choice from 100+ pay site programs and only from dozen cam/dating, but still 10 choices it is not a monopoly or even oligopoly. If there was nly 1 or 2 cam and dating program to choice from, the could have fixed price or do as bad as they wish, BUT, this could not happen yet exactly because there is a dozen competing. And this is dozen instead of 100's just because only 5% or max 10% of traffic who is interested in pics and videos it is interested in cams too, so there must be less sites anyway - another reason of cams and dating can't be too many programs, it is the critical mass and social dynamics, can run small pay sites but not small cam sites really.
About the billers you link them strictly to pay site programs it seems, but I would remind you that epoch it is the biller for myfreecams (first in list for new user signup) and secondary for streamate, and we use it too secondary; about ccbill it is biller for many cam sites too, for example most of asian niche ones, and zombaio been biller for small cam sites since day one - especially single cam girls with own site bill with zombaio for even skype shows. So I agree many pay sites will continue to die (and could be not many new ones launched to replace the died), still I think the main billers as ccbill, epoch sure not "gone" as they could keep up with just cams or else than pay sites, as well as smaller such as zombaio, segpay I would be surprised anything happens to them really - and even without need to bill for filesharing or shady stuff, at times even paypal is used until busted but occasional shady bill for weeks until pulled not so relevant except for GFY gossip.
