Agreed.
I personally feel a clip store is the best way to start in today's adult internet. It keeps you expenses under control, other than content, and you can learn some of the basics while getting a return on your investment from the get go. Few things are going to have instant traffic, and sales, from the first day you open. A clip store will.
I think from there, you can move on to pay sites. If you want to go the traditional route, start with someone like B-H-E where they handle processing, dvd store, hosting and provide some shit script.
They, like C4S, take a percentage of the profits assuming you make any. Keeping your start up costs low. However, once you start making any real money. It is much cheaper to get your own host, processing, scripts, and do it yourself.
That said, you're right. There are many many people who blow thousands, or tens of thousands, and never learn the basics to the industry..... converting a sale, driving traffic, SEO and SERPS, among many other skillsets needed.
I guess they think they can just spend their way to success.
Wrong.
