Porn’s Business Model?


I have always wondered how things work. Airplanes, Nuclear reactors, porn.
Really, how does Porn make money when so much of it is free? I interviewed a porn executive (on condition of anonymity, like it’s going to ruin his reputation) and he says that the free porn doesn’t nearly meet the demand. He says his brother, a Hollywood show runner, was in the porn industry as an investor and made millions. Apparently, there’s a lot more to sex than a couple drinks and hating yourself in the morning. There’s gay, fetish, S&M, tranny, fantasy (don’t ask), group straight on straight, gay on gay, gay on straight, senior, pregnant, interracial, dominatrix, foot fetish, and well you get the point.
And these connoisseurs of these porn niches are more than willing to spend to own, view, and in some cases participate in this whole other world. So what we see on the web is nothing more than a loss leader. Like that food you can sample in COSTCO.
So now I understand porn. Sort of.
