This is the thinking that has killed more $$$$ than it ever created. More often then not more traffic = less money. Yes you need traffic to get the chance to sell to people, but the method we used has killed more sales than it ever made. It also in 10 years taught millions of people not to pay for porn.
Sales = $$$$ Traffic merely gives you the chance to sell to more. give them the product you're trying to sell to them. It destroys sales. Selling to 1 in 100, never meant selling to 10 in 1,000 for very long. In theory it should of, in practice the main way of getting the additional 900 was giving away more free legal porn. Individuals will say otherwise, yet we all know what's happened to ratios over the last 15 years.
I understand putting up a website is easy, getting porn is easy, getting traffic is easy (OK getting it in the numbers required to make a sale isn't hard. Getting it in the numbers today to make a living is.), putting up a free gallery given to you on someone elses site is easy and so is the rest. This led to the race to leap frog each other in giving away free porn and here in 2012 is where we are today.
Everything being so easy was the problem. There was nothing to cull out the lame and this brought down so much. The quality of the product, the direction of marketing by the producers, the attitude towards the customer, allowed in the scam artist and the amount sold.

Now if you take out the big players all the traffic will not "magically reorganize" to other new sites but will be left in limbo. People will not know the "new places" by magic, marketing costs $$$$. Opening up a "new tube" once the big name tubes are taken down will mean nothing without traffic. Being a new tube in a saturated market AND having to pay for traffic to give stale content away mostly for FREE is not a good model to be building a NEW user base around.
What will be left are the old legal tubes and the membership sites.
I do not see the market coming back to 1999 but anybody who invests in anything pirate related is in for a nasty surprise real soon.

The few benefits will be felt by the dating and webcam sectors. However they might have to pay more for traffic as a lot of the competition will be gone.
The hardest thing to change is someones culture, the culture today is "Porn is free." The biggest savings will be on the cost of keeping pirated content off piracy sites.

Also there will always be money in quality content.

But rarely was enough money spent to create quality content. Online never competed with offline in the price for quality content, except in a few cases. When offline was dead a few made their way over to shoot for online companies. Listening to some fools talk here, our content is crap. Yet we earned 10 times more on our crap content than the shooters online selling to sponsors.
Now expect people tell me I'm wrong or a fool without saying why. Because that will show the flaw in their thinking.
