Everything online is a race to zero these days
Even if we take cam sites as an example, as competition increases and we have more and more models on these sites the amount they charge will decrease over time until someone decides to make cam shows free in the hopes of gaining market share and destroys the pay business model.
You could argue that Apps like Tindr/Gindr have already had that effect on the dating membership sites.

I definitely agree with the cams part. The fiercer the competition in any market, the lower the price the end customer ends up paying.
Not sure I buy your VR argument though. I've recently tested a VR gadget called Oculous. And while the quality wasn't quite ripe, the stuff you got to see was still pre-recorded. So I don't really see an issue for tubes to serve VR content, as soon as the technology allows it. So the concept would be pretty much the same as today. Use tubes by uploading recorded stuff and drive the traffic to a site where you have to pay for live interaction. We still need some good VR cameras, I'm not aware of any currently on the market.
