Interesting excerpts from the article:

Moving down the top 10 you have Multi Media LLC, registered owner of the adult webcam website Chaturbate, which sits in seventh place and gets around 117 million visits each month, according to SimilarWeb.

Back in 2011, LiveJasmin (owned by Docler Holding, owned by Hungarian György Gattyán) was the most popular cam – and porn – site in the world with a little over 31 million monthly visits.
It now gets around 140 million each month and sits in tenth place – SimilarWeb’s rankings look at more than just traffic to arrive at an overall position, hence the discrepancy in figures.
Chaturbate now ranks in the top 10 for most porn traffic and is almost at LJ status for monthly traffic. That's crazy considering CB is so much younger. SM, MFC and other cam sites haven't made the top 10 at all.
I'm not sure why SimilarWeb considers CB 7th and LJ 10th but I'm stoked that LJ is losing ground. They need to die.

None of those numbers are remotely accurate considering especially paying traffic.
As an example, Streamate whitelabels are not included in the Streamate count for traffic stats, as they reside on their own unique domains. CB on the other hand puts all WL's in their main stats by the way they do things. A lot of sites also buy a lot of really cheap bot traffic to boost their Alexa rankings for bragging rights (its a bargain really).

CB heavily interacts & recruits affiliates. LJ is known for ripping off affiliates.
Also I've noticed in articles that CB is interviewed for or PR releases often times mention how they consider the performers to be their biz partner & moving forward into the future they plan on do that more so. Hmmmmmmmmmm Not to mention anyone can create an app or bot, so they are up for change & suggestions no matter where they come from where as many sites don't.
MFC limits who and how many affiliates they have. MFC has not changed the look or feel of the site or how they operate to my knowledge like other cam sites are doing to stay current & fresh in this market.

For sure, I would take these numbers with a grain of salt! I actually do OK with my CB affiliate traffic myself so maybe that's why I'm inclined to agree with the article.
Absolutely true that SM WL's wouldn't make it into the count. That's what makes SM quite unique so there is really no way to tally everything up unless someone decides to disclose the list of WL domains and traffic stats.
