This what I was just going to talk about, but with a twist - Basically a CMS that produces parts of a page that could be developed as plugins - So for example:
1> A plugin for producing a Toplist on a page
2> A more complicated plugin for producing a tube section and would need to produce multiple sub pages
3> Relevant to adult social shares
4> Traffic exchange
5> TGP
6> Blogging
7> Social features such as comments etc.
Advanced search and algorithm based sorting - Your forte I understand, could be part of the core -
The list is endless...
The twist is that this would all be pushed as plain HTML pages by a central core script to the main (very basic, fast) HTML server meaning that the script could even be a desktop (Electron?) application - It would need templates that would need to be as simple as possible. The plugins would have settings in the core to customise them.....
Some functionality could be done on a subdomain on a cheap VPS, things like form processing - Email marketing etc - Again some basics in the core but with the ability to use plugins...
These are a few random ideas I have have had - But it boils down to the idea of a incredibly fast site with only HTML, CSS and CDN hosted media on most of the front end - The only non-html pages would be user admin and data processing pages on a separate subdomain on a seperate server that would not be indexed.....
I think this is the way WP will go eventually. A lot of people are doing it in a way with Headless and WP but they are just scraping pages produced by WP. They have very limited functionality and I think are far from ideal - You are stuck using a loads of third party apps to replicate functionality and most are not adult friendly - Comments by Discus is an obvious one...
I am sure this sort of setup is already being planned and development has started for similar mainstream projects - Lets get (Adult) in on the ground floor and show them how it's done - We used to be the group that drove innovation on the internet.....
Sorry that was all a bit random, but it is basically just following my thought process - I have been thinking about this for months - You have just gotten a look into my brain, it's no wonder I have issues!..
We shall call it "EDDYTHEDOG" - LOL.....
