Funny. Porn is far from being a small market online. And taking on porn related businesses doesn't mean they have to stop serving other types of businesses.

Are you sure about that? The source I’ve found [1] says it’s a ~$5B market, which is what FB makes in one quarter alone (and only one month for Google).

You're rebutting someone that merely said that the industry is "far from a small market" which was in response to someone claiming it was a "tiny" market. Pointing to one of the largest companies operating a web business is not really a rebuttal. That just says they are far from being the biggest.

I wouldn't call a $5b market a "tiny, niche market" like the GP post stated.

In the overall scheme of payments, $5b is small. You need big volume to make money as a payment processor.

There are many markets that are much smaller than that which Stripe doesn't have a problem with.
