Well that's the thing, they do monetize porn, but in different way. There are Google ads with live webcams, for example, so they make money. Also, people that search for porn use Google for many other searches as well. It's a habit.
But what if that habit changes? If I look for porn and cannot find what I want in Google, I switch to Bing for example. I find there what I want, but I just remembered I wanted to check some mainstream stuff as well. Etc. etc.
It's a huge market and so many surfers. I was checking on statcounter data, it is freely available and I noticed Oct 2016 vs Oct 2017 that Google lost 0.37% of traffic, while Bing, Yahoo and DuckDuckgo gained. Maybe it's a trend? Remains to see if data is accurate enough.
But right now, I do get more traffic combined from Bing/Yahoo etc than Google in my network.
