So of course if you ask most people here (which are mostly affiliates from back in the day when everyone could make good money by doing a little work) they will say business is declining. But ask the big guys and you will find out business is still growing year after year.
The money is still there, it just ends up in different hands.

There is far more traffic than there was, is it converting and making money like 10 or more years ago?
I will agree that the large companies don't look for affiliates like they used to. Doing deals with or their own Tube sites has replaced the need for 1000s of paysites and affiliates. Does that mean the business is bigger or smaller? Well from the perspective of people who used to b site owners and affiliates it's far smaller. Can all that be replaced by a few large companies?
Online is booming and sales have never been so high. We no longer can exist without social media, online shopping, betting, dating, restaurants, bars and hotels guides, etc. Porn is now a media that's easier to get for free than it is to buy.
