Money they are making from ads will go down.

About member areas with prerecorded content, I forecasted it was going to end "very small sales" around 2004, which is when I switched to cams. So I figured what the OP said 9 years ago. I did not forecasted manwin or tubes exactly at the time, or torrent and so on, but the trend it was clear: cheaper and faster bandwidth for free prerecorded content.
But, you are too quick to consider "SCAM paying little", whatever is not adult programs.
WIthout consider cams, which is adult indeed, let's detail one example I made:
Gambling: it is legal in most countries (except USA), in fact often politicians are hidden shareholders of the companies who got state licenses in the various countries. Legal gambling market revenue is several billion dollar and increasing. In fact, when people are unemployed and poor, are more likely to gamble, than when busy with stable job. Talking with some major ad/traffic network rep's, I learn their main customers are, in fact, gambling - but this is geotargeted so perhaps USA guys here never see such ads.
I hear of no one tube or high traffic site of any kind who failed because can't pay hosting, really. Do you? They can sell ads always, or sell to a Manwin-like company if tired to find buyers for ad spaces every month. And they sell ads not directly: the ad networks sells most of the space for them.
I think ad networks is going to be a stable business "forever" (see google), of course as long as you're serving many ads so you have deal with many big (tube, pirate, whatever) sites. Yes some ad networks failed, but, not so many, compare it with other businesses.
