It's easy to build an image for a food/drink, add some (imaginary) extra value people want, but porn is much more limited. You can go more extreme, more niche, both may sell well, but the majority of surfers is looking for "mainstream porn" and that's the guys who get way too much free content to bother joining.

First paragraph is absolutely wrong IMHO
Second paragraph is wrong (or true) to some extent, depending on several factors. However, as "mainstream porn" is becoming duller every day, prospective customers are getting increasingly bored, thus, in that context what you say makes sense, why pay for dull boring content when dull boring content is available for free?
On top of that, I mentioned it many times, but one of the things that make it hard for programs is that many (most) programs owners have a variety of niches in their sites portfolio. However, due to this situation, most, if not all sites, are off niche. Let's take a very easy example: big boobs. Mainstream niche as it comes. The "solution" for this niche is sites featuring girls with big boobs. Easy, right? Well, it's WRONG. Boobs size makes for about 5% of the niche, I've tracked it via polls and research and around 95% of what big boobs lovers are looking for isn't in the content (well, it may appear but just as a 10 seconds thing in a video or 2-3 pics in a photo set). Same goes for anal, teens, mature, porn stars, shemales, almost all fetishes and so on. Truth is many people in business can't even recognize the difference between niche and fetish (let alone if we add deviation into the equation).
Think of this: in any kind of communication form, content is king. Hell, even in adult industry most people says "content is king". Now, do you know a company using a content specialist? There may be one or two, but personally I don't know of any. And what we're selling is fantasy, when the fantasy is out of the mix, what do we have to sell? Moving mannequins performing a sex act?
