The other problem is if the few who buy porn want to see girls in one genre/style. What use are 5000 videos of different genres/styles.
$20 a month isn't going to make millions start paying for porn again.
Understand your market first.

Users don't spend anything. The $20 example I used is the cost of the most basic virtual server on which a webmaster could run their own instance of PeerTube.
This is like the Mastodon of Tubes, Mastodon is a decentralised Twitter alternative that is gaining a huge amount of traction because of it's federation model.
These technologies, Mastodon & PeerTube all use the W3C ActivityPub protocol, which allows for widely distributed yet consolidated services which can all communicate with eachother.
There is a Mastodon instance of PeerTube
https://peertube.mastodon.host - users right across the Mastodon social network can share, comment and engage with PeerTube video content without leaving Mastodon.
Mastodon also has apps for iOS, Android and other platforms, which means it's becoming widely accepted and the user growth has been phenomenal.
PeerTube only came out of beta a couple of months ago, Mastodon has been around longer.

Or worse : find out that your "federation" has CP on it when your door is kicked in because the feds are taking out the "network".
Napster had one safety net : CP don't come in audio format.

There are protections built into PeerTube for reporting, blocking and moderating content. If someone posts illegal material on any instance on a federation it can be actioned federation wide. Obviously you would not allow a site hosting illegal content into your federation, or if they were already in your federation you can expel them from your own instance with a click of a button, then all the problematic content is gone from the instance you run.
The p2p is not normal torrent type stuff, it's based on the WebTorrent protocols, which is different from firing up a Torrent program.
