The main difference you'll experience from how it was 10 years ago is that things are just harder.
There are more competitors, more niche saturation, more noise, more advertising-blindness, more adblockers, more automation tools that let more people create more sites, more defenses against black/grey hat strategies, more awareness of dark patterns that the adult industry historically relied on, and just *more*.
That said, there's also a lot more bullshit. Building quality stuff still works, so carry on if that was your plan.
