You're saying that...but you literally don't know anything except what you've read.

I am telling you straight up that without looking at their books...there is not one single porn paysite in the year 2016 with 50,000 concurrent full $30 a month members.

In case you've been living under a rock...paysites are on life support buddy. It's everything any of us can do to keep things going.

That's why X-Art is possibly shutting down it's production and outsourcing. That's why the industry shows are tiny little get-togethers when compared to the huge events they used to be.
That's why so many company's have shut down over the past few years.
I can keep going...but it's hard for me to believe you don't already know these things.
Production is a very good indicator of how sites are doing. Since 2008 most have been cutting back on production. Even before then few could spend big money on content. Even those shooting for themselves were on a tight budget. How many could afford decent locations that constantly changed vs those who shot from home or in a studio?
