It's hard to say. It's undesirable content may have played a role in its rise to fame. Definitely bad publicity, but still publicity. And while most would not admit it, it may have attracted female viewers to the site.
There was a post in IAMA months ago on Reddit where a chatroulette exhibitionist mentioned that a quarter of the women would watch him for up to 10 minutes, often encouraging him.
Sometimes success derives from the freedom that lets undesirable things happen. In the process of stopping those undesirable things, the freedom that brought success may be extinguished.
Success in the complicated social network of the internet is complicated, and it is too difficult at least for me to make a solid guess on what will happen.
