What I don't understand about porn in general is how do they stay in business. If you see the statistics on the number of sites you wonder how they can make a profit with so many existing. And where do you find enough bodies to get material for all those sites., I would assume they have to pay the hired help

What I don't understand about porn in general is how do they stay in business.

I think Forbes and Wired both did stories about the porn industry boom during the 90's internet buildout. Porn sites were among the first users demanding high-capacity servers, ultrawide bandwidth, streaming video, etc. and they were paying cash for it. A lot of the internet infrastructure got paid for by porn sellers (or their customers, if you prefer).
