...if money is all that concerns you, I'd say stay away from porn, or white supremacy. Not much money in being a pariah, usually.

The amount of money in porn overall is vast, generally estimated in the billions.[1] Some pariahs get a lot of money.

I'd agree on white supremacy, still.

Just because the market is big doesn't mean it's easy to get a slice. The food industry is absolutely huge and also very brutal. Margins are razor thin and people get crushed constantly.

Onlyfans had a big slice.

But that’s a different argument. The point was that being in the porn industry was being a pariah. This simply is not the case and the porn industry is huge.
