The Scam of Age Verification

What will happen?
We’ll have to implement AV wherever it is legally mandated. It’s not like we have a choice. Legal challenges were our only option — but now, even the courts have been swept up in the hysteria.
The largest established adult sites, such as ours, will be immediately destroyed.
We know that only about 10% of the user base will remain after AV is implemented — and the 10% who stay (thanks, by the way) are very costly to verify.
So much so that we expect to operate at a financial loss.
[Added July 4th] Here are real numbers that are the results of currently running AV tests :
July 4th : verification rate : 10,5% (89,5% of users gone)
July 3th : verification rate : 9,7% (91,3% of users gone)
July 2nd : verification rate even lower due to technical issues.
However, keep in mind that the drop of users is (maybe significantly) higher than shown, because the ones who simply don't return (because they know there is an AV wall), are not counted.
