Pills and most of the Adult Dating are scam operations in my opinion. If a dating site has less than 5-10% females, it is one of them in my eyes. No wonder that AFF is on the decline after all these years, I doubt they have many happy returning customers.
And of course new Adult Dating programs can make a killing because naive disillusioned people will think that this time they found the jackpot, for real. Noone has told them that there aren't actually horny MILFs in your neighbourhood waiting to fuck you. Scam has always been profitable, and will be.
But if looking at only the numbers, I'm not sure either if the business is contracting that much. The number of paysites had really grown at some point, so customers got spread out on a lot more sites. Maybe there aren't as many new paysites opening now, but there's way more other channels to pay for porn, cam sites, pay for clips, customs, private cam shows on skype, whatsapp, and who knows how many other networks. And more and more young people from more and more countries are willing to pay for things on the internet, and billers are making it easier for them. Hopefully at some point we'll be able to sell porn to all the Chinese, Russian, and Indian people. ;)

Im all for cutomers getting what they want, BUT.....
The only TRUE, HONEST product out of all of these would be a Paysite, with NO Trials and No cross sells. Thats about as straight up as it gets.
I love how people come down on Dating because the girls aren't real, but they will promote a $1 trial pay site with a cross sell or two, LOL. Lets be honest. The point of a trial is NOT to let the user test the site to see if they enjoy it and would like to then pay (Im sure some small sites take that approach, but 99% do not).....its to get them in the door for as little as possible, then PRAY they forget and don't cancel.
If a pay site really wasn't trying to trick the user, wouldn't it be the right thing to send an email saying, "Your trial is up in 24 hours, If you don't cancel you will be charged" Or better yet, why not do a FREE trial WITHOUT a negative option???? Give them a 3 day free trial and if they like it, let them pay, if not, access is shut off?
Anyone doing anything other than straight up monthly billing with no crosses is playing in the gray area and being a bit shady. Just the way it is
