Agreed, but you also have to consider the state of the Internet and technology back in 2005. No social media to speak of (Myspace anyone? LOL). No Twitter, slow internet connections (still dial-ups in many places!), streaming almost non-existent (again because of low tech). Cams and "dating" still in their infancy....
So paysites were about IT back in 2005. Today those same potential customers have much more to choose from (yes, including free). So while you are correct you are also wrong. Paysite customers back in 2005 may have preferred cams or dating even then but had little choice. My theory is: those who will buy then will buy now. Those who wouldn't buy then (but were forced to) have fled. Bye-bye. So guess who I focus on? LOL
(I didn't get into paysites till late 2008 so what do I know about 'The Good Old Days'? All I've ever known is bust-your-ass hard work and struggle.)
