I see things from a programmer point of view, so when I approach to the porn market I just think about people having some addicted fun to porn scenes and hot pornstars.
Yours is more a pimp approach, so it sounds very gross and unappliable to me and to my morality.
Anyway I finally understand your critics to this thread. But your job has almost nothing to do with the internet IMHO.

I don't believe you just invoked the "morality clause."
I've been at this game for approximately 5 decades Claudine Beccarie was both a friend and my contact into the industry. During my career I've filmed girls such as Bridget Lahaie, Marilyn Chambers, etc. and made deals with men such as Mickey Zaffarano. With all due respect I'm an old man that's probably forgotten more about what it takes to make money off of Tits and ass than most of today's smut peddlers know.
The Internet is a black hole that consumes content in an ever increasing exponential amounts. Add to this almost all of the tech companies don't actually create content but find ways to parasitically use the artistic creations of others without paying for it while simultaneously devaluing it. I've been a patron of the arts
(I'm not just a smut pusher) for almost 20 years and in that time I've seen incredible works of art reduced to worthlessness because of the Internet despite being hyper popular.
I'm not saying the Internet doesn't have it's uses or its place in the jizz biz. I back several sites and other jizz biz Internet based ventures and my criticism is always that the amount of labor investment is really high when compared to other options. Furthermore today's Internet porn environment is dominated by a less than a handful of players that control at least 90% of what's viewed by men. - There isn't much wiggle room left and it's getting less every day.
Over the years I've heard/read the exact same arguments as yours and the fact remains that I'm still here and they're not. I spend approximately $2k to $5k to produce a video and I've got punters that come almost every single day spending $20 each time to watch the same video that won't change for a month and I don't even have to mop up the place when it closes.
I can go fishing and play with my great grandchildren every day while still adding to the money that I'll leave them when I'm gone. The women in porn are paid to fuck so don't fool yourself into believing that they're not all whores and if you've got a morality problem with that fact then you're in the wrong business.
