Yes, with enough creativity and good marketing even shitty content can make lots of money.

Its just a product. If you know how to market it to the right people the right way it will sell. Just like anything else.
But does it convert?

Problem is a lot of people here understand computers, Internet, design and programming. But nothing about porn and the porno consumer and that is what they are selling. So when the regular porn surfer hits onto a site, that site competes with every other porn site he's signed up to. If it does not come up to scratch he moves on and the owner does not have the cash to buy more. How simple is that?

Consider how much a content site is selling if they are no longer adding new content. It costs between $40 to $100 to shoot a new solo girl set/video, without costing in the normal costs to run a business on a day to day basis, equipment, premises, hosting, etc. Thats 1 to 3 sales at $35 to reach the break even point, these guys not adding content are trimming down and just relying on their stock to sell to new customers for income. Gives you an idea on how many regular clients they have who need their content to provide to their members.

The photographer makes the model 9 times out of 10. Few girls are good in front of a boring, old, pervy guy.
