Most paysites can probably weather the storm, assuming things stay as they are now and don't get much worse. Honestly, it is about as bad as it can be. Everything is stolen instantly and everyone knows about tube sites so I can't see it getting much worse. Despite what everyone thinks, porn buyers DO KNOW about tube sites, in fact, porn buyers are hardcore porn users and they probably knew about tube sites before you did. So the argument that only those surfers who haven't found tubes are still buying is false.

The affiliates, even large affiliates are being hurt the most by the tube sites.

Some affiliates have moved to dating but they'll get squeezed out of there soon enough. It's like rats climbing to the top of the mast as the ship sinks. Tube sites in the Alexa top 100 (sometimes top 50) are pushing the same couple dating sites as small affiliates. Meaning that everyone has been exposed to those ads and those sites already. You can only switch the names up so many times to keep getting decent ratios.

The only game changer is if tube sites run out of profitable sites/products to promote and they are forced to change their business model.
