Buyers are becoming more and more reluctant to sign up to a monthly subscription model for sites that offer one view of what is their favorite porn. Tubes and torrents offer a better selection and are free.

So we are left with Live Cam for those who prefer to pay a lot to jerkoff to their favorite model. With the advent of models being able to promote themselves then cam from home this market will move increasingling towards girls doing their own thing. Especially in the English speaking markets followed by German, French, etc. The lure of speaking to a girl in your own language and her replying far out weighs the alternative. Plus for the girl it eliminates so many taking a slice of her work.

A few models will makea good living with models based on the Onlyfans style of sites again promoting themselves and taking most of the income.

Dating to me is a mainstream product and will continue to grow. With 14 year olds knowing what "Swipe Right" means the future is bleak for affiliates.

So will advertising be enough to pay for the running costs of a tube? This is the interesting part of the future???
