No matter how the sales and marketing is, shit is still shit. This is 2016 not 1998. Get with the program.
As for hiring a content producer. Can you afford to compete with what the top companies pay? If not you end up with crap.

I mostly agree with what you're saying, but the level of programming required to build a porn site that will rank in google is not minimal. Sure, the paysites you were cranking out in 1998 were easy to build, but profitable sites these days are made by tech experts who understand things like scaling and data science.
Which gets back to my original point: If you want to make money in adult these days, the best way is to be a talented programmer who can look at what sites ranking in google are doing, and copy it. But like you said, that kind of programming talent won't work for the kind of money the average GFY user putting up cookie-cutter wordpress tubes and half-ass paysites can pay.
