I remember Bangbros started a site about transgender women over ten years ago, but they marketed it to gay men. They totally didn't know what they were doing. The site doesn't exist anymore. It was a complete failure due to not researching customer's needs.
Sites like Brazzers have fake surveys in the member's area. They ask what type of hardcore porn do you like. They almost never include vaginal sex only (no anal or DP).

Both have good points but the main problem for porn is still the fact that big Tubes are 100 times better than most porn sites. Going micro-niche isn't a solution, to many go that way and it kills the small markets for micro-niches. Also, you have to be a devotee of the niche to know what appeals to other devotees.
The big problem will be the effect the loss of earnings of our customer base and how they economise to stay afloat. The essentials aren't porn it comes very low down on everyone's list.
