    The porn companies, many of which produce X-rated videos and popular erotic Web sites

    Is that what porn companies do! I thought they made different web pages open when you closed the one at which you were looking.

  2. You don't want to work for a Porn company by Snosty · · Score: 4

    Trust me. About 6 months ago I interviewed with one of the larger (if not largest) 'net based porn companies for a sys-admin position. Given that porn seems to be the only industry that makes money on the web I was expecting a decent salary offer and a good working environment. Wrong! Porn companies make money on the web because their costs are low; They hire cheap labour, rent cheap offices etc..

    If you want to work as a sys-admin for $24k US out of a dingy warehouse in the bad part of town then I've got the industry for you.
