This is a very important and interesting point you make here. Yes, online porn in general has a very low barrier to entry. But this low barrier to entry gets you to the bottom of the hill, not to the top. In your analogy with international shipping, the low barrier to entry get's you basically to the equivalent of a packaging factory owner that serves a packaging company that in turn servers some international shipping company. It arguably also let's you climb the ladder faster than other industries, and there are a ton of the bottom level people in this industry.
BUT, the barrier to entry into the top league is by far bigger. It is still doable to make it big if you come to the right place at the right time, and have enough contacts in the industry, but from 0 to 100 is obviously very very hard. If it were this easy, we would have 500 big tube sites competing over the top 5 traffic ranks. But we do not. We have only a handful or two meaningful big tubes, with maybe 20 to follow which are decent in size and worth looking at, and then 500 small ones which combined have the size of tube #30.
That's not a low barrier of entry, that shows its actually becoming higher.
