There are only a handful of examples I've seen where a site is so good it does not need mass traffic to be a huge success. (Girlsdoporn was one of them, but for all the wrong reasons as that site should never have existed in the first place) Manyvids/Onlyfans being others.
Traffic is great and all but if you don't have fresh constant content, you are going to die a slow death nowadays. I'd also argue against Paul's point of high quality content being so necessary. These days some of the best stuff is bf/gf stuff shot on an iphone. it's definitely Quantity over Quality these days.
Look back 10+ years ago when places like sleazydream, worldsex, reviewsites, tgps/mgps, gallery submitters were all on top of their game. Now I feel if they are still around, they are most likely living off very old rebills because all their traffic got sucked up by the 5 main tube sites that control it all.

One can't exist without the other online. The reasons most affiliates choose a site to send their traffic to is it
pays them the best. Converts and retains the best, that's down to the content. Fresh content is a must, more important for TGPs and Tubes than members who can't see everything unless a small niche. The cost of producing fresh content day in and day out has made it very hard for all but a few whose profits allowed them to. Profits that came from high conversions and retention.
You made a mistake about me thinking high quality porn is the Penthouse/Met Art end of the business. I like Ben Dover, Buttman, far more than I liked Twistys, Dean Capture. Because one was more authentic than the other and for porn high quality is the most authentic. It's why so many like to watch an Amateur really enjoy herself rather than a porn star go through the same routine. Anyone who has watched my Astral Blue content would know what I like.
I do admire the photographers who worked for the better end magazines, but would never buy them.
