HBO costs nearly the same as a porn membership, yet they have literally tens of thousands of times the number of subscribers and the benefits of economies of scale. By that comparison, HBO is way overpriced compared to a porn site.

Yawn. HBO has infinitely more expenses than any porn site on earth. So if we go add up all the millions in dollars in licensing fees HBO / NetFlix / Cable TV stations pay for the content they publish and divide it by number of users you think they will be paying less than the average porn site? Economy of scale is great, but it doesn't mean they are overcharging for their content.
