A HUGE % of the increase over 7-10 years ago is in social networking, which is tailor made for dating and cams.

Sadly it is true though.
World Internet Users Statistics and 2015 World Population Stats
Overall internet traffic growth between 2000 and 2015 has been about 753%. However by far the majority of this growth has been in more low quality traffic areas:
Africa 6,958%
Asia 1,129%
Middle East 3,358%
Latin America / Caribbean 1,684%
In contrast the higher tier growth has been much less:
North America 187%
Europe 454%
Australia 252 %
So you're looking at tier 1 (+2 ?) growth between 2000 and 2015 to be something like 250% - 300%. However at the same time cpm (or say ratios for affiliates or EPC) has been cut by like 1000% for these traffic sources.
The math looks something like this.
Let's say you start out at 100 units.
100 (initial units) * 3.0 (percentage tier 1 + tier 2 traffic increase) * .1 (monetization drop - cpm) = 30
You now have 30 units or about a 70% drop overall.
