You keep assuming the guy paying 30% has that money in his pricing structure.

The cost of affiliates has to be included in the cost of the join. So 1,000s of site are charging $20 and paying out 10%. Then someone decides he will pay out 50% and give affiliates everything they need. And raises the join price to $30. And everyone says "Why is this guy charging so much? Must be really good".

Then he finds it's no different from the $20 sites and all of a sudden, the $30 guy goes out of business. Because every customer thinks for $20 that can get the same.

Affiliates don't control this business, customers do. That's why Tubes are doing so well, customers decide where they view.

As you said it's too late now, the dye is cast.

There is too much free porn online. And I'm in the majority who thinks that. Problem is no one can think of a way to get off the slide.

But you're a guy with th weirdest possible views on copying and profiting from other peoples property. So I guess you're thinking on this might be a bit weird.
