The problem started early on with paysites bending over backwards to cater for affiliates. 50% rev share, PPS meant the money spent on the core product, the reason surfers were buying the product suffered.
It's very hard to produce good porn on a limited budget unless it's self shot amateur of a great model with the talent to project herself onto the screen. That's not something every girl can do without motivation, direction and someone knowing how to get the best out of her. That's the skill of a pornographer and what separates them from webmasters with a camera.
The problem was from day one few webmasters sought out pornographers and proved they would make more money online than offline. Even though most webmasters would tell you they were making a fortune online and pointing to someone else's site to prove what money was made online. Not one of them could point to their website and prove this is making me $millions. Most of them offered derisory money for content they sold elsewhere for great money.
Today Tubes dominate and unless something drives them out they will continue to dominate. Pre-tubes so many webmasters didn't understand online porn, missed out on a great chance to make money, thought traffic was king, didn't realise the surfer is in control of them and resorted to tricking, scamming or throwing 100,000s of surfers at their sites to make a living and blaming others for their problems.
