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.

I'm only speculating and hopefully it'll bring up an interesting discussion, it wasn't that long ago that people thought 3D would be the technology that would be next.
In the case of VR, no one has even released a headset for resale yet so it's very early days.
Will it take off and be the next thing? IMO yes because of the money being invested in it but technology changes so fast these days. When Oculus do finally release their headset next year it's going to be for hardcore gamers and innovators to begin with, the potential is unlimited if they get the VR experience right.
To begin with VR will be an interactive gaming experience, then if successful it'll expand into other areas (that'll take a few years at least) I'm not convinced that adult tubes will be the main source of traffic in 5 years, it depends how fast things change and if the current companies have the ability to adapt quick enough.
You only have to look at smartphone apps to see how quickly a company with a good idea can go from nothing to critical mass/disruptive technology within a very short space of time i.e. WhatsApp
All these things have the same thing in common though, take a paid service and offer a better service for free.
The only constant is change and IMO technology is advancing and changing at an increasing speed. Look at online streaming 5 years ago compared to now and how it's changed the way the majority of us consume media and the impact it's had on the cable subscription business model.

Youtube is the biggest pirate website on the internet and it's existence has legitimised all the adult tubes that steal adult producers content because they can do so with impunity.
