She can keep it going a looong time. After all, if they made tires out of that stuff, each car would only have one set for the life of the car. Can't wear that stuff out.
Now, if anybody will pay to look at it or watch it work? I assume it has a shelf life of desirability.

How long can she keep that going?
It's like asking a Hollywood starlet how long she can keep that going. Even after she stops producing new content, the old content can still be streamed and generate residual income. Unlike surgeons and gaspassers, you get no residual income after your patients' bills are paid.

No, as a Bad Thing.
Or do you think your children could do better with a porn career?

Back in the day, we'd refer to what I wrote as a joke.

"How prostitution is becoming mainstream"
Pornography is not the same as prostitution.
I beg to differ.
One is still selling themselves for profit. Picture or sex act, take your pick.

Pornography is not the same as marriage.
It’s a lot cheaper for one thing
I was only joking

Porn and Prostitution aren’t the same, but they are kissing cousins.

Yup. Frequently cheaper to rent.

Most of us are "selling ourselves for profit" in some way.
By conflating pornography and prostitution, you commit the same sin the left is making when it calls everything "racist": Widening the meaning of a word just for political advantage. In the long term, it backfires.

At their most basic, aren't they just variations of the same thing, a cheapening of one's self worth and innate dignity for money? You might say prostitution is simply sex for money, but maybe you need to talk to some prostitutes...Hiring a whore is not always for a simple sex act. On the flip side, much of pornography today runs the gamut from a nude picture to bidding on viewing selected sex acts on demand. Like to watch a German Shepherd have sex with a woman? Pull out the credit card.
That's a far cry from spreading the word racist around to people and acts which are demonstrably not racist.

I prefer it if people use the term 'middle management'.

Threads such as this convince me that between the social totalitarianism of leftist virtue and the moral authoritarianism of the right, the idealism espoused by libertarian thought becomes ever more attractive to me as a viable alternative ideology for Western civilisation.

Matthew 7:1.
John 8:7.Since it's very obvious you don't have a clue about Scripture, you've got a sermon/explanation coming your way.
And you need it. For years, you have promoted pornography, which is usually the sign of a sick and twisted mind, that views fellow humans as pieces of meat who simply exist for their puerile and sadistic pleasure.
People like you don't mind abusing people and it wouldn't surprise me if you would abuse children.
So confess, Ax. Do you sexually abuse children or just enjoy degrading entertainment with adults?
-
People who have no defense for their actions and who know just enough Bible to try to throw up a feeble attack on believers, trying to cover their wretched self, often bring up the two passages Ax posted.
It's laughable, it's so bad. Let us examine what Jesus is talking about when judging. As in most things Biblical, context is paramount. Also illuminating is having a bit of a clue about the OT. Many people do not realize, over half of what Jesus said, is found almost verbatim in many of the Old Testament books, such as Genesis, Isiah and others.
Mathew 7:1-6 is part of the Sermon on the Mount. Jesus is clearly speaking about hypocritical judgement. The point of 7:1 is to guard your judgements, especially if one is guilty of what one is judging.
Consider this passage out of John 7:
21 Jesus answered and said to them, “I did one work, and you all marvel. 22 Moses therefore gave you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers), and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath. 23 If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath, so that the law of Moses should not be broken, are you angry with Me because I made a man completely well on the Sabbath? 24 Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.”
Again, this is talking about hypocritical judgement. The second verse Ax referenced John 8:7, is Jesus addressing a group of men who wish to stone the very harlot they had been having sex with.
None of that says Christians should not engage in righteous judgement. We are told to read, study and to discern that which is good and to not do that which is clearly delineated by Scripture as being bad. As Paul said in Galatians, Have I therefore become your enemy because I tell you the truth?
So, wrong is wrong. Pornography is wrong. Prostitution is wrong. And if Ax gets his rocks off by viewing child pornography or performing sex acts with children, that is wrong.
While the Christian should certainly self-examine and not hypocritically judge, no Christian should equivocate or not call out that which is clearly wrong.
