I also have declining ratios with dating programs. Tubes or free content can't touch dating and yet still there is a decline.

I think the problem is more multifaceted than we think. I don't have the complete answer but I'd say:

TUBES + DEVALUATION + ECONOMY + GETTING USED TO EVERYTHING BEING FREE + PAYSITE MODEL GETTING STALE + ....many more ...
I think there are other factors besides piracy as well but I would put piracy as somewhere around 60% responsible. Dating and cams I think it's partially rampant shaving along with saturation as well as free alternatives like Plenty Of Fish and My Free Cams. When looking at raw ratios I also figure in that there is more non-tier 1 traffic out there. But even with that factored in obviously there have been tremendous declines in the paysite market.
