It was tough enough prior to online porn. Still an educated guess could be made. Corporations that had to have publicly available accounts. Knowing what a main stream porn film sold for and how many dupes it took. Big porn companies with addresses you could visit and see and often get into.

Today with so much of it online and no accounts, it's impossible to tell. You here stories of a company employing 100s, but rarely know anything more than the story. Not having a go at Manwin here, they are reportedly now the biggest company in porn. Has anyone seen their accounts, seen the publicly available information of their address or know anything about them other than second hand information or "bros" stories?

I picked up on their Canadian office and 300 staff said to be there. With experience in selling office interiors and furniture to companies with 300 in house office staff. I could look at the info being given out and see it was highly skeptical. Idiots focused on the post about toilets. The fact is Fabian was clueless about the sq ft that's required for 300 people. Called me names for posting it. When faced with the facts he claimed it's not his job.

I'm telling you a CEO of a company with 300 office staff knows this information. 3,000 office staff it might get given to those lower down, 30,000 it definitely will .300, no way. Yet people didn't question this about "the biggest company in porn" Doesn't make sense.

So if that's how hard it is to pin down anything about "the biggest company in porn". Pinning down the T/O of porn world wide is impossible. Because no one knows what most do. AFF did a share launch and it seemed to crash badly.
