The main thing that changed in the industry is that now these adult video streaming sites basically serve you the content for free, and like television that's paid for by the advertisers, it's paid for through affiliate fees. These are mainly affiliates for the online gambling companies who don't have access to other advertising channels, and a bit of adult dating. The issue is that conversion from this type of content to gambling doesn't make perfect sense, so it's often a better idea to produce content that are a natural fit to gambling instead.

It's hard to make a conversion trying to sell the content that you are actually giving away to make the conversion.
Clips4sale has a good business model. I can see this being the future. But micro-payments in porn are hard.
