how do porn companies make money when their product is free?
In: Economics
The product isn’t free, it’s just stolen. These days the model is to monetize videos within a few days or a couple of weeks at most because then it’ll be pirated and uploaded somewhere for free.
Porn is a low budget/fast turnover business. As long as you can recoup production costs plus profit in a week or so you’ll be good, after that it’ll be pirated.
Some shorter clips are uploaded to pornhub by studios just to drive traffic to their premium content where they have the high quality stuff. More people pay for porn than you think so monetizing isn’t a problem.
Porn sites do not data mine users, there’s literally nothing useful to mine.
