^ A thoughtful everyman post from you as ever babelover, thanks. Yours is exactly the kind of considered spender's voice the channels should be listening to. Your concerns are likely echoed by many users of the shows.

This, more than any other, is the feeling that the channels must combat IMO. It's essential, I feel, if they are to prosper in the more competitive online environment; one that they are, at last, being forced to commit to fully this year.
So far the operators have dallied with the benefits of the web, now they must confront its competition head on if they are to progress. Disengaged babes have been allowed to disengage customers for too long. The operators hopefully recognise this as a crucial time for a reversal (and there are signs that they do). Too many guys have been prompted to join the loathed freeloader ranks by too many counter productive attitudes from those on the inside. At least some of these guys would be best brought back on side this year.
Opportunity for change needs to be embraced not feared for once.

The distinction between days and nights grows ever more blurred online. As you imply, this is how it should be.
The scheduling and burgeoning number of additional web shows is being geared to be more flexible and pervasive by the month. So much so that that the operators now need to be careful to educate us with who's on where and when - or some of this encouraging divergence will end up lost on guys. See, for example, how this week the boxed-out day babes on 66's fta streams have been advertising the website and their "behind the scenes" cam shows directly on mic.
The return of proper 241s is definitely going to be a vital web battleground in 2018. The discovery of good sexual chemistry in these babe interactions will be it's most crucial weapon.
BS already do daytime studio pairings from behind their paywall. Regular duos from more recognised day babes can't be far away.

But those that show no interest need to be told to their faces that they have to "embrace it, or move on". Simple as that.
Your final paragraph here is exactly what I was thinking when I was making comparisons with the early days of pervcam in post #8.
The incoming regs have set up distinct possibilities. But from there it's a two stage process to get to what you're talking about: Enough individual babes have to feel that the probability of extra income is a good one otherwise they will not let anything happen. Then only large amounts of actual fresh revenue would incite your 'like it or lump it' scenario - where we get to the point when major change is impossible to halt.
What type of shows would create this momentum is something the operators are transparently casting around for atm. It's also what I asked the OP's question for. (This week saw the welcome return of second cam angles to 66 nights I note. It would seem a more natural fit there than on days.)
Some babes will undoubtedly prefer that recordings of whatever's coming our way be kept off the social sites, but it'll be to their benefit to be as less strict as they feel they can be on this one. (BSX is a paid for service but allows caps to be posted.)

The legislation impending as it stands at present and if implemented - has the potential to bring about the demise of the shows way quicker than intended...
It's the high stakes at play that makes the potential for dramatic change on the shows all the more distinct. How Joe Public reacts to the sudden baring of freebie Adult websites will be vital. In some ways being lumped in with the major porn outlets on this one makes it easier for the channels. They are not having to fight against legislation specific to them alone this time... AFAIK, guys signing up to continue getting their free dose of porn elsewhere will get, by default, access to the shows' websites as a bonus. Given the alternative, the operators must be hugely glad that this looks to be the way things are going to work. Millions will be made unencumbered potential website customers shortly after 'gateway day' as a result.
The down side for the operators is that they will have to pay a few pence for every check of AgeID (or similar) -
even for guys that may never venture behind their actual paywall. This is why they need bloody good and varied paid material on offer. Some if not all of these costs will wind up incorporated into the fees they'll charge no doubt. But the services should be better as a result of the extra web competition.

Thankfully at present that hasn't occurred, but I think once the legislation is implemented then it is possible it would trigger again (and more regularly)...
The introduction of these kind of age checks has been quite insidious. Most of us will have experienced the mobile phone version - where some kind of Age Verification is required to access Adult material. (I have had a similar experience with unwarranted resets there btw.) It may appear a trivial matter but these things need to run virtually seamlessly if they are to avoid prompting disgruntled doubting punters. This is just one of a multitude of potential problems with this Age Verification system.
