Which is why I would want to work for one and not run one. I just focus on technical, they just give me my money and everybody is happy!



Unless you're targetting working for a major company (Brazzers who owns PornHub, Tube8, KeezMovies, Extremetube, etc) you've gotta have some serious skills, otherwise you have to create your own site... Not many in the realm of porn actually have full companies behind them, most of them are just your average joe running a site by himself.

Not to mention most porn website owners are cheap... Doing any type of work in that realm is a pain.


Interesting. I guess the other factors come in and make the technical aspect less...appealing.


Believe me... The idea of being paid to watch porn wears off after the first 3 months... After that it screws with you...

One of the big things is, normally you see a hot girl and you're wondering how she's in bed... After working in porn for a year plus, you're wondering how much you could make off selling her on your site.


I honestly wouldn't want to watch it. I just want the technical challenge.


There really is no challenge...


head on over to www.gfy.com, a forum for adult web masters.


That place is a joke and cesspool of everything that is wrong with the industry.


Ya, it really lacks the integrity that is the underpinnings of the porn industry.


Like companies in every industry, some porn companies are sleazy and some are not. On average, it probably compares favorably to investment banking and the domain name industry.
