Well that's the only bit that interest me about the video. Because I know networking for porn is not allowed on MM. MM has tried to kept their image  that they are not a porn website and with videos saying that porn directors recruit of MM seems to be contradicting to the whole MM is not for porn networking.

How can they stop or prevent it though? Screen every single message sent?

(betcha these recruiters have vip memberships btw)

As opposed to what percentage of the general population that has also been sexually abused and/or has low self esteem?

They seem to be two very common problems regardless of industry.

Well, to be fair, they suffer mostly from a lack of individual thought.  They don't resist the herd mentality.

Where do people come up with these percentages? Do they poll each and every worker and ask them if their uncle has ever touched them in the "no-no" place? -_-

I watched it. The thing is the guy doing the interview seemed a bit judgmental of the girl's situation. Telling her why girls get into porn and all that. And he kept pressuring her about stuff. Honestly, he seemed creepy. That was what I got out of the video. The interviewer came across as creepy. tongue

They get the numbers from their pastor, who tells them that sex/porn is bad, but usually have their own extensive porn collection in the basement, or on their computer... for   r e s e a r c h . . .  big_smile

Technical job requiring high skill level, experience, with some managerial responsibilities will put you about half-way the successful porn girl range. In a big city.

They are used to getting polled. As a matter of fact they can take 4 polls simultaneously if they are particularly gifted.
