It is pretty mind-boggling. Even going back 3-4 years ago you were somewhat limited as to what you could find on the tubes. Generic mainstream porn was easy & abundant, but many of the more specific niches the surfers' options were limited. Not so anymore. In 30 seconds of searching a surfer can bring up hundreds of full-length vids in nearly any category they can think of, enough to keep them masturbating 3x/day for years. It's comical. That's what happens when programs give affiliates a neverending stream of "promo" content and then they saturate the Web with it by the millions for a decade-plus, using the "throw enough shit against the wall & some will stick" marketing strategy.
It was the affiliate model that built online adult up and it's the affiliate model that killed it.
I still believe you can sell effectively to the true aficionados of certain micro-niches, the rare people who will indeed pay for the content they love and even perhaps develop a loyalty toward your brand. But those people are .001% of the original porn-buying customers, so the pie is tiny & getting smaller by the month. And reaching that audience takes a lot of work.
