So, bad idea for several reasons.

When you use the Tor browser because contacting any server requires the pass-through of 3 different Onion routers that each apply a layer of security and anonymity which is good, but it also makes it a haven for criminal activity. Your ISP knows when you connect to the onion network which is why criminals who use the dark web get caught. The worst problem is that using the Tor browser is actually not secure for the user in its default settings so the user has to take extra steps such as disabled javascript if he doesn't want to get backed. The safest way is to use an ultra secure OS such as Tails running as a VM on the users machine.

Placing a website in the dark web can serve your clients but it can't be crawled by Google, so forget search engine ranking and easy advertising. Your customers would never know how to get to your website unless you provided them with the exact URL which is very long and mostly randomized.

The worst problem is that using the Tor browser is actually not secure for the user and smarter users will know this. The default settings in the Tor browser that hackers take advantage of, so you need to disable Javascript. The safest way is to use an ultra secure OS such as Tails.

Wouldn't anyone who knows how to do all of that already know how and where to get their porn fix for free anyway?

So having to have a porn consumer jump through all of those hoops, AND take all of those risks, AND have to pay via crypto for it, doesn't sound like a good business model to me. Getting a regular payment processor or a bank involved would seem impossible to me too.

That's not true. The New York Times has their own darweb website on the onion. https://open.nytimes.com/https-open-...e-e0d0b67b7482
