I am not faulting your post. However, you are talking about many things that someone doing a start up would not get into. Like hiring webmasters, professional website design, and all of that other stuff.
While all of that could be needed eventually, you do not need it right out of the gate, and you can make money just fine without it. The same can be said for software. I prefer using the higher end software myself, but you do not need that right out of the gate, and there are plenty of low end solutions. The same can be said for cameras. People can get them off eBay, pawn shops, or alike if they wanted to go that route.
Again, I am not saying that if you want to do high end production, your numbers are wrong. What I am talking about here is a start up, which would be done on a minimal budget, and CAN be done.

I did not say naked. There are plenty of fetishes that do not require naked women.

Are these people updating throughout the day, and 4-5 days a week? Are they sending out newsletter emails after every update? Or are they just relying on the psychic powers of their previous customers to know when they do updates? Are their URL or domains on the videos?
Those are just some things that come to mind. I know myself, I have bought clips from a store I found and liked and could not find them later. Why? Because they do not do the things above. The same can be said on some of the niche free sites. I find clips I like all the time, and would be willing to pay for it. But you can't find the source.
I know even now today, there are places I buy from all the time, and have for years, that rarely tell me they have updated. I have to go to the site and check it when I think about it. Maybe once every couple of months they send out an email.
My point is, if you think that I am just going to REMEMBER to check your site weekly for updates, you're insane. Those who effectively market, update, and are consistent still make money. Most of those crying they do not make money are not consistent.
