How much money will said people actually make? Probably a little less than they expected to make.
The majority of people who would be involved in such a project would also likely be bring a certain level of expertise to the table and most would either have advanced degrees in film or have at least some type of formal education to qualify them for the project.
The majority of content producers in adult are doing it strictly for the money and their financial expectation are much higher than what an NYU film grad would expect to make on such a documentary. Additionally, their expectations are largely based on what others were making during a closed market and not on what will be the perceived social value of the end product.

It may be a surprise but people working on documentaries want to earn a normal wage, want to be able to buy a house, have a family and bring up children. As these technicians are freelance it has to be more than the average wage to make up for lost earning between projects...
The deregulation of the film industry and the 1000s of people who think that liberation is to do it for free, is having a devastating effect on the industry (in the UK ). You are probably right about the adult market.
As I have said many times I am I guy, so maybe you should stop being a dick about it.
