The bubble burst for many various factors...credit cards got harder to get, tastes became more niche specific and sites became aggregators - thus a few became great and the many became shit in comparison.

YES there is some cross over percentage guys who may pay but opt for piracy instead - or may have paid but are happy with free tubes... but its my opinion that the percentage is very small and not nearly the colossal effect that hurting GFY webmasters whine about.
