Being a fellow paysite owner (going on 15 years now wow!) I understand your points. My thoughts on them:
1. I agree. Crypto helps, and XVideos may have European-based alternatives that could absorb some of the changes. Best to wait and see how everything shakes out.
2. Most companies, in and out of adult, worry about their own survival first and the 'ecosystem' last. Google, Uber, Netflix, Microsoft - none of these companies give a flying diddly fuck about anyone but themselves. So I do not even factor in 'the ecosystem'.
3. Most of the still-operating (shooting new content) studios are either small mom & pop shops (or would that be STEPmom & pops?) or big established brands that have either been bought by the tubes or have shared content creation deals. I'm not sure the tubes would even be interested in feedback but I agree they should! Especially when it comes to their Content Partner Programs.
4. Never say never. Dominoes still have to fall, the dust has to settle, markets change, regulations change...let's wait and see.
5. Well I want the same things as you do - but I also want Julia Roberts to wrap her big fat lips around my teeny weeny weiner. So far, no luck. LOL Seriously tho, when it comes to another company's platform it's important to remember that you (or we) do not have control over how they do their business or run their operations.
Conclusion: Always treat the revenue you are making as fleeting, stay forever on your toes, look for additional revenue streams, traffic sources, etc. Don't get lazy and rely on a single website or two for your entire business. That's what models do for fuck's sake.
