The business model has changed, it's much more like the mobile games market now; a handful of "whales" support the whole thing. You don't pay for the video anymore. Copying content is cheap and easy and there's no burden on delivery. Instead, people who are really into it are getting closer to the models and paying them directly. There's a whole range of ways you can support your favourite model now, from $5/month snapchat "access" all the way to $4000/hr "meetups" in Nevada. The purpose of the free video is just to draw you in - maybe it will turn you into a subscriber, maybe you'll send them a gift, or maybe you're just window shopping. The only people hurting are the skeezy producers, middlemen, and digital pimps. The porn industry is dying and is being replaced with this new model of "para-prostitution".
