The fan sites (OF, JFF etc) democratized the porn industry. Instead of a few true porn actors, now every model to decent looking guy with some Twitter followers has a fan site, which is probably a good thing. It doesn't mean most creators are making a lot of money, but it's a good side hustle. And the actual porn stars have more intellectual property rights to their videos, and can choose how much content they create and with whom. Instead of their work being owned by the big studio.
