haha sure I can throw my 2 cents in here. I don't think they are ashamed but they hang out at places like gfy.com, a cesspool of adult site owners and affiliate marketers, who ironically are hostile towards tube sites as 'stealing content'. Then one spring afternoon in 2008, I was pondering what I'm going to do for money while sitting around campus then it just hit me that the fastest way to get traffic therefore more money was porn. I did have some qualms particularly because it felt like I was doing something...that might be looked down upon but then I thought it was pretty fucking stupid since I'm not the one making porn (although I did think about this too) so I felt like this was a good way to learn PHP&MySQL(lol) so I went for it. And it paid dividends throughout university. I heard a local guy who founded youjizz.com pulling in $100,000+ CAD /month from webcam ads but this was 2008. I think the advertisement have declined significantly since then and I've moved on to more meaningful problems to solve rather than dealing with the intracicies of delivering smut to the end user on budget web hosting. I don't know if it's worth it to make porn sites anymore. There's large tube sites that just dominate the traffic. I consider my own tube porn site to be a failure for not reaching that level of status. But boy did I spend a lot of time getting it all up and running. Equally more innovative was the spamming tools I wrote for forums and watermarking porn videos automatically via ffmpeg and uploading it to multiple websites. Actually ended up spinning off a SaaS business from that script.
