Sure, I guess if mainstream is you goal, I've been there and done that, I was the cto of the first internet yellow pages and prior to that I owned my own mainstream media company, used to manage some of mindsprings online advertising, that was 1995.

Built a little program called shotgun in 96 and a company bought me out hired me as their cto, sent me to oracle school for a few years and when they sold I cashed my stock and started another mainstream company building online tools based on oracle, built that company for a few years and after a failed ipo in 2002 I lost it all and said fuck mainstream.

As far as making money, online adult is like taking candy from a baby, I started the adult business with less than nothing, was a few hundred g in the hole and now Im flush, why the fuck would I want to go the mainstream route again?

Hell, compared to my mainstream experience, this is like being retired and I get paid for it
