The average Joe who grabbed a camera, took some pictures, and then slapped together a website and an affilaite program and quickly made money is over with. Now it's companies that are making money.
People are still making money hand over fist, but they are larger companies. Paying a model $200 to take some dirty pictures doesn't cut it today. Our industry has evolved.

Agreed that it's evolved.
But you are wrong with the rest. More solo girl sites made a couple of grand than those that made 10,000s. The problem was always funding content production to a level that made them good enough. Unless the program owner shot the content himself and knew what he was doing, he had a poor product. It would be as good as me doing what you do and we all know how that would end up.
I've lost count of the number of people who couldn't afford to buy in decent content. Content is what will ultimately persuade the customer to stay looking at samples, click a link to a tour and convert him/her to buy or move on. It's not as if he's restricted in his/her choices.
Same goes for TGPs, how many made less than the B/W bill from a gallery?
