The big problem with the chans, right now, is that the content is merely soaking up bandwidth, and not generating income. I imagine it would be fairly easy to change that.
The problem is making a wakabi that will attract the right people, and keep your loyal following. Hell the 5 seconds I survived /b/ it had probably a whole paysite's worth of content posted through it.

The biggest problem, again, these are the 'sit at home and browse the internet' nerds who won't pay for things, and will make a firefox plugin to just block your autopost as well as using FilterSet-G to ban your ads.

I agree that it is technically possible, but wakabi is still very underground, not very user-friendly, and while it's content driven, it's entirely a different market; you can sell them JPop and humpable pillow covers.. but, pay for porn? Doubt it.
