The market for adult paysites has shrinked and in a massive way, I guess this is clear to everybody. However, it is still here and making money for those who remained.
Manwin or mindgeek or whatever their name is now, isn't running brazzers network, nasty dollars etc ... for fun. Gamma didn't buy 21sexturycash last year cause they are charity. Xvideos guys didn't buy ddfcash this year because of their blue eyes either. There is still money to be made. Even tho I abandoned my review site, it is still making a few sales - DAILY.
But the conditions are very different. Many years ago, I somehow got my hands on a list of paysites that used ccbill for billing and believe it or not, the list was several 1000s sites long. Anyone with a camera could make an amateur site and make DECENT living. Just as it was very easy for an affiliate to start a free site and make a couple $100 or a grand with it, which was more than enough for someone in eastern europe or asia to live from.
Now both of this is gone, 1000s of paysites are gone and so are 1000s of small webmasters. But the paysite model is still generating revenue, just for less people than before.
It's definitely not easy to start a profitable paysite these days, I don't think we need to argue about this either.
