That's why half of the innovations on the net have been driven by porn purveyors.
The net has moved on since it was a handful of geeks sending each other formulas between their uni labs.
In what sense has it 'moved on'? The technologies that make it work haven't changed. There are more users, doing different things, but the network itself does not need to be 'monetized' to allow these things to happen.

So far as I can see, you are simply trying to justify a business model by associating it with the fundamentals of the network.
