Could you share some of the business details of running a porn site? I've always been curious, but there's not much reliable information. Something in this industry would probably be a smash hit business case.

- Supply chain: how do you source models? How do you negotiate fees? What is the average fee, and how do they charge?

- Are there inter-business politics? Like, will some models refuse to shoot scenes with other models?

- How do models work legally? Do you contract them or employ them if they've never done a shoot before?

- What are your profit margins like, and what are your breakeven numbers like?

- How often do you demand STI testing data? Are models worried about this?

- Are models your main source of COGS? What are your major expense items?

- What are the most challenging decisions you have to make on a daily basis?

- Is porn really a hyper-competitive market?

I've seen business cases from a ton of different industries, but adult entertainment has been completely secluded. Any information would be wonderful :)
