You're a bit out on the 10-15 years ago. Porn made great money 50-8 years ago. when making $500,000 was achievable for most who could get into the business properly.
Today the investment and skill needed to make $500k profit are beyond most.

I was just throwing out a random timeframe, didn't give it much thought, yes it was approx 5-8~
Why is the skill and investment beyond these people though, there are tons of people who made serious money in this business, yet only a few have enough to invest 100k to make 500k+? because thats what it costs to launch a top product these days. Roughly.Thats not a massive amount when considering most people outside adult spend that much to start their businesses and most are in the red for ages and it takes a long time to see profit like that, if ever. However in adult, if you create a good content site with 100k, you are near guaranteed to make a substantial profit. Ive still yet to see a site with top end production fail. And ive been in this business for a LONG time. People have no idea how easy things are in adult. Great production includes "good lighting, relevant top models, north american models, somebody working on it with experience in marketing and a somewhat proven track record, professional equipment, shot in a style that fits the standard, etc"
