Not fun fact: it is estimated that 30% of publicly-available porn videos have underage actors, and a large proportion show severe abuse.

How does porn work? Genuine question. Obviously costs money to make, cameras and stuff, plus you would think the stars want to get paid unless it's true that they are trafficked and forced to work. And yet it's available in large quantities for free. I don't get it.
It's funded by those who want to destroy you.
Ads, it's like youtube. Youtube is technically "free", but you can either pay for a subscription or "premium" account in order to watch things ad free, or you have to deal with ads. And I'm not just talking about video ads. All the stupid pop up ads that are on every shady website.
It's not just porn, this is how most "illicit" internet businesses make money. Porn, game/movie pirating sites, illegal streaming services, shady file hosting sites (basically book pirating websites), etc. etc.
They all make money through ads or "premium accounts" with slight benefits, like zero ads, faster streaming/downloads, etc. etc. This is essentially how 99% of internet domain owners make money.
