Did online gambling stop? No, it's still here and it's here to stay. Are there companies located in the US operating gambling sites? Not likely if it's illegal.
Is gambling morally wrong? No. Is gambling obscene? No.
Is offline gamgling legal? Yes
So theoretically online porn can also be removed from the US. It doesn't mean porn is going to end, but it means your ability to work in porn if you live in the US sure can.

And if gambling really is illegal in the US, wouldn't it have been better to legalize it, but regulate it, so that the Government can earn tax dollars from it? After all online gambling is an even larger industry than porn.
If it didn't work for gambling, why would it work for adult, which has just as many if not more negatives in the public view (it's dirty, immoral, degrading, etc)
