I believe most of webcam sites got closed because the profit of small webcam site is too low to cover IT expenses especially when we understand Flash would get deprecated by 2020 and most people use mobile now.
Few interesting facts:
1) Webcam market is growing niche. Based on latest 6 months statistics from SimilarWeb
* MFC grown up from 105M to 140M visits
* Livajasmin grown up from 180M to 295M visits
* cam4 from 50M to 59M
* chaturbarte 260M to 415M
2) Starting a new cam business is getting difficult although the market is growing
The main problem starting a new website is how to starting without models and traffic. The chance of success is high for those people who have models or traffic and money for marketing.
