So which of the two think have it wrong? Adult pornographers, or major business chains?
This is the difference between a businessman and hobbyist IMHO. I am not faulting people for choosing to run their business how they see fit as the choice does not impact me either way. You obviously need to follow can-spam and if they opt-out, you remove them. I am just saying, look at any other major chain and how they do their email with members and customers. If you're not engaging them, then it's money you're leaving on the table.

Porn sites should follow the email strategies of the mainstream multi-billion dollar companies you named above, all in completely different industries? You paint with a very broad brush.
Just one small example. Capital One will not piss off a girlfriend/boyfriend you're having dinner with on a Friday night when the email notification comes in while eating and they want to see what it is.
From adult: Likely an image of a naked girl/guy with promo text "MEMBERS AREA UPDATE" etc, etc.
Capital One: Increase your credit line.
I'm good. Everyone does what they want, it's what keeps things interesting
