If you say smart - How is bypassing a far greener pasture an educated move. Correct me if I am wrong, but in any business/and or web developer you're obligated to yourself to make as much money possible. Comes down to one thing, profit. Not pick and choose an industry you most prefer. Shit, I love television, but I am not dedicating my time to developing an entertainment site. Why? They command some of the lowest CPM (advertising) revenues on the Net.

Input...
I used to be a mainstreamer. It's a whole different game. Most mainstreamers don't even see adult. They're oblivious to it. There's big money in mainstream..... it's just a lot harder to nail down. CEO's can be a major pain in the ass. Mainstream & Adult are two completely different ballgames. What works in mainstream rarely translates to adult. Sure, the principles are the same, but very few are in tune enough to maintain principles and make the adjustment to their tactics. Only those completely in touch with Strategy & Tactics are able to make such a crossing. Many simply do not have that foundation. Skill? Sure.... skill is a factor.... but if you don;t have the basics down, skill means jack.

To answer your question though, I think most mainstreamers simply don't even acknowledge the adult world.
