Pretty much everything that ails the online adult industry, or at least everything which cannot be directly attributed to a government regulation or some other type of outside interference, can be summed up in just one simple sentence so brace yourself because here it comes:

The vast majority of people working in the industry care very little about the quality of their product.

And that holds true for content producers, sponsors, and affiliates.

Seems too simple to be true but seriously, let's get real, how can one not assume that industry growth might slow down when a large majority of webmasters take more pride in their ability to mass produce a bunch of shitty sites in the hope that each will earn a buck or two rather than in their ability to build a quality website? How can one not assume that industry growth might even retract a bit when a large majority of producers approach the production of their content with that very same mindset? And how can one not assume that surfers might just try to find their shit for free because of how it took them 3 months to figure out how to cancel a stupid membership that they inadvertently purchased via a pre-checked cross sell?

With so many webmasters and so many producers and so many sponsors having similar mindsets for so many years, is it really that shocking that the adult internet has come to resemble Buñol right after La Tomatina, but before the clean up and with crap instead of tomatoes? I don't think it's the least bit shocking.

The bottom line is that sustained growth is simply not attainable in an industry where the desire of profit overwhelmingly supersedes the desire to be good. And by no means am I suggesting that everyone needs to go the starving artist route and completely ignore the profitability potential of their work. It's an important factor, a very important factor, it's just not the most important factor. I could go on and on to support the point, but bear in mind that many of the posts and articles on this website will address a variety of it's elements in one way or another so you'll just have to be patient.
