the main problem if porn was made illegal in the US would probably be the issue of monetizing US-based clients
more hoops to jump through with banks and the card companies for starters. in the age of KYC and FOSTA it's already a huge hassle
not everyone uses bitcoin or other cryptos, or even wants to, as the card companies (for better and for worse) make it possible to cb a bad purchase
also say goodbye to rebills
so sure, same amount of customers and potential customers thanks to VPN's, but what's the point if those customers can't be monetized?
also more difficulty using social media. if porn was banned in the US I bet a lot more of them would drop adult
plus even MORE stigma for peeps in porn and sex workers? fun fun
so yeah, on whole I think a ban on porn would have an overall negative impact on the industry
just my
good luck with your surgery CS!
