This is a great advice, thank you! This is more and less how I have been approaching this industry so far.

Not unless you're really into airplanes and mechanical engineering.
Past that, the conversation is about a generic video site, and you can talk about content and bandwidth and getting traffic etc without ever mentioning that it's porn. Don't lie if asked outright, of course, but competent people should be able to read through the lines and notice that you have the good sense to keep the porn involvement discreet.
Like, people don't punish you for being involved in porn unless they're super Puritan. They punish you for not having the good sense to shut up about it and the related risk of you embarrassing them by association. Demonstrate that you can talk about your business activities without being crude and they'll be more willing to play ball.
