Problem is, Adult Dating is a huge segment of the 'porn industry' so this could have an effect across the board.
If the number of people willing to join adult dating sites go down, then the cost of advertising could increase dramatically to maintain the same number of members as would have been realized before the hacking event occurred.
In turn, with a lower profit margin, fewer people will be willing to put out the dollars for ads. And there's no disputing that Adult Dating currently takes up the lion share of ad spots on tubes, members areas and so on. So this issue could potentially have a very disruptive ripple effect across the entire industry.
