We have watched distribution channels collapse and rebuild around creators who can bypass intermediaries, retain higher revenue shares, and …
Hundreds of millions of dollars flow monthly through platforms and creators who operate within the adult video economy, and we must reckon with what that scale demands of our reporting.
