I'm thinking about starting a porn business but would it be morally ok, and is the competition to high?

[Antifragile]

I’ll be the resident a**hole here and make a bold prediction: you aren’t going to make it in the porn or any other business. Not with your current approach!

Now why am I saying this?

Not only because your post (and I’ve checked other posts by you) are very low/zero value.

But because this thread is focused on the backward thinking that makes most people fail in business. It tells me you aren’t paying attention to what this forum and MJ’s books teach. You are chasing “I love porn/games/food” business instead of thinking about the need. What problem are you solving? Who are you helping?

This isn’t about a moral stance.

Now to be completely honest I was a huge porn addict, even today I take a glance at it but I've been on no fap for 4 months and am happy about that. I'm in the very early days of my entrepenuer journey and I was thinking of some ideas. I've actually come up with a lot, investing in small time real estate to get passive income, making really bad mobile games and just pumping them to the brim with adds for worse ones. Ect. But my top 3 I've been thinking about is porn, games, and food, I used to game for 12 hours a day or more. ( I limit myself to 1 hour a day now ) ate copious amounts of bad food and ate even when I wasn't hungry, and previously mentioned a porn addiction which may be in a weakened form I won't lie maybe I'm not ready for clean whistle status. But with the porn idea which is the focus of this post I know what porn does and the negative effects on society, like if you think porn is just a way to relieve yourself search it up on youtube, my spiral down the rabbit whole was a 30 second anime girl singing about the horrors of pornhub. But Since I've been a addict I got the mind of one which made me think about if I designed a website and what I'd do if I succeeded? Honestly I'd just sell it to pornhub for like 10-20 million. But is the morality of it ok? it ruins lives and other things, Adults can make there own decisions but I always wanted to make money clean, not by screwing other people over. Any takes would be nice

You are just trying to rationalise being a porn addict and having a loser lifestyle.

Now, you can pretend that it isn't your addiction - it is business research and idea stuff.

You are an addict, get help.

You won't be able to build a business when you can't even manage your own life.

How about you go the opposite way and build a business around getting people off their porn addiction. Maybe a tool, maybe a consultancy, maybe a product, maybe you can become a hacker and destroy porn websites for money. There is a need for fighting against porn addiction. There is a huge hungry market for that. Instead of damning your fellow brothers and sisters... SAVE THEM!

This is a good point of view. I was a major porn addict, and I couldn’t fathom having anything to do with it, much less hurting my bro’s, it’s such a vile thing to even think about. Especially since the age that young men are getting addicted is around 10 now. (Also the fact that porn addiction is a result of trying to fill an emotional void, in a generation of narcissists and tik tok and feeling inadequate. Terrifying.)

PS: this video is a scarily accurate representation of the dangers of porn, it’s literally me at the end, but I’m trying to turn things around now at least.

What type of value even is this? Who in their right mind would play this?

My man, you're still masturbating, but only it's mental.

But is the morality of it ok? it ruins lives and other things,

I think you answered your question. There are far too many businesses out there to pick from than doing something that destroys lives.

 

[Mikkel]

My guess is you will probably have a wife and family in the future. That is my assumption. Let's fantasize on the off chance you just happen to make that $10-20 million. Are you going to be proud of your accomplishments? Will you be honest with your wife on how you made your money? Are you going to lie to your children on how you got your money? What happens if they find out?

Building a porn site is the opposite of providing value. It is stealing value from everyone who participates. Thats why you might be less than honest with your future family. It is because the people making millions in that industry are scumbags because they exploit everyone involved.

Instead, build something that actually provides value, you then get the added benefit of being proud of what you have built.

 

[Raedrum]

Another point of view beside the effects that it will have on others, is the one it will have on you.

An ex porn addict making a porn website is like a coke addict selling coke on large scale (remember Scarface).

Maybe even worst, personnaly I would seriously not want to stare at porn images 8-10 hours a day. It would drive me crazy.

Sh*t it would drive anybody crazy :S

I would never get involved in this type of business, even if it makes you good money. You will be contributing and profiting from the downfall and misery of your brothers and sisters.

The decision to start a porn business is a personal one, and it involves considering various factors, including ethical and moral perspectives. It's important to understand that the adult industry is often subject to intense scrutiny and moral debates. While some individuals may see it as a legitimate business venture, others may have moral objections to it.

When considering the moral aspect, it's crucial to reflect on your own values, principles, and the potential impact on society. Think about the ethical implications of the content you would be producing and its potential effects on performers, consumers, and relationships. It's important to ensure that all activities are legal, consensual, and respectful of the well-being and boundaries of all involved parties.

Don’t do it man. You can get very very wealthy by creating good things and helping others.

Would you be really proud if you look back on your life if you’re responsible for wasted youth? Kids are not able to deal with the super dopamine stimulus of high speed internet porn. You will break kids.

You can make a shitload of money in other areas without the negative impact on the world.

You are like the dry drunk who opens a liquor store because he knows the business. Or the druggie who starts dealing the drugs he buys to pay for his habit. Do you think it might be in a self-defeating moment and you are thinking about shooting yourself in the foot?

Porn can be a profitable business if you are a professional and don't care about morality and/or stepping over a few bodies.

In my opinion, based on your post, you're neither.

So you'd fail both because you lack the mindset of a pro AND because you lack the heart for it.

A pro thinks deeply about issues, is highly analytical, and can create solid plans that he has the discipline to follow-through and implement. Your post suggests very superficial thinking + lack of discipline.

In addition, if you're worried about moral questions, you're not a good fit to make millions in porn.

Start with something easier. Like freelancing (I know, @Kak will hate me for it). Or yeah, why not, getting a job in this case.

You should think about it yourself. And I think you won’t succeed at anything because of your approach.
You are trying to chase money, but money only comes to those who solve others needs.

The choice is yours. You'll be busting your balls in either ventures.

It's subjective, but if I knew how to build a porn site that could be sold for $20M, I'd do it.

However, it sounds like so far you've lived the epitome of a loser's lifestyle. What makes you think that you can build it? What's your plan? Reposting content won't be worth $20M, getting original contact created would require you to be able to get "models" to work for you. Gamers who eat everything in sight and have little to no discipline (or social skills) could have trouble getting hot girls to shoot xxx content for them.

Do you have a plan, or is it just - "everyone watches porn, I'll just upload random videos to my site and get rich because I'll get millions of visitors every month organically?"

 

[OverByte]

If you have to ask if something is morally ok then you already know it isn't based on your own values, the knot in your stomach tells you that, seeking approval from others is just looking to rationalize it because it avoids the harder choice.

I use to love Anime and video games when I was younger. I don't dread the games I play I don't play as much as I use to, but the anime industry much more. The industry is so corrupt especially with anime.

Take a look around you, see all the girls on Instagram, Bumble, Tinder, probably all of the dating applications are filled with girls who show off "Content".

These girls know that "content" they produce = Money like mad from dudes who are addicted to porn. It's so sad... now a days it feels like to me you can't even find a decent girl in the online dating world because it's so filled with girls like this.

It has come down to the fact that I've completely given up on the online dating world. It's always "Hey I'm a content creator, do you want my content?" Bruh, no I don't want your content. I want to find a genuine relationship with a woman who has a growth-mindset. I don't want to to support you and what you do. It also doesn't strike me as a person who wants to work either.

I'm okay with finding a girl in real life, it's honestly so much better because you actually get to feel the rejections of girls you think are attractive. Dating and finding girls in real life could even teach you life lessons about rejections. But it could also teach you how to stretch your comfortzone, see what your made of and test your speaking skills, etc. There's a good book on this read it. The Dating Playbook by Andrew Ferebee. He focuses on how you are enough and how to actually date a girl, but also providing the the world value. It comes from the point of view of doing internal work on yourself and learning how to actually find better quality woman who have a healthy mindset and are not like girls I described above.

The Anime culture, especially for how it portays women in particular, has corrupted in my POV how young men think dating should be.

I use to be a guy who wanted to date a Twitch Streamer girl who was very popular or a cosplayer.

Now I'm disgusted because that kind of behavior just implys self-centered like behavior. Attention is king now days, it moves Money and fame like wildfire. When I see a girl who runs OF, I GTFO or run the other way.

 

[YouCanDoThis]

Plenty of people have already said something on the morality of the topic, but from a fastlane business perspective this sounds like a bad idea too.

You are supposed to care about your future customers. What are they struggling with most? What issues are they facing daily really? If you want to create another porn content business, you're saying their biggest problem is that there's not enough pornography out there. I think we can all agree that's not the case. More porn is a want, but it's not really a need. Moreover, it's a race to the bottom in an overcrowded market, no different from people wanting to write a book or release an album. Porn is a commodity item.

I saw someone mention the idea of starting a business that helps people lessening their porn addiction. Now, you might say there's probably way less people looking for that, and you're right, but it's also a way bigger problem for these people. And if you can solve that problem for only 0,1% of the people watching porn, you'll likely still make a gazillion bucks. Not saying you should or shouldn't go for this, but I'm trying to showcase the mindset you're in.

Stop thinking like a predator shark trying to make some quick bucks. It's not putting you in the mind space of wanting to help people, and it's exactly that empathy where the best ideas come from.

 

[Countertop]

But is the morality of it ok? it ruins lives and other things, Adults can make there own decisions but I always wanted to make money clean, not by screwing other people over.

Conflict of interest between your moral standing and potential business venture. I wouldn't found a business that is made of artificial value, especially considering it has negatively affected you. But you're seeking millions, so maybe you're looking for some assurance as to whether it is a good idea rather than being morally acceptable.
