But now it seems better to classify time spent doing something versus amount paid. As in, if posting on OF is your full-time gig and not a side hustle then BAM you're a pro. In other words, is modeling/making adult content your main source of income? If so I would classify you as a pro regardless of your style, where you make it, where you sell it or with whom.

Some of the biggest porn stars of, for example, the 80's and 90's definitely did something else most of the time, if they could pay their bills. So I'd count popularity, name recognition, and financial success, but not require full time to count, as that would knock out many I feel are definitely stars.
