Porn in general and the pornography industry are inherently misogynistic and exploitative, 95%+ of the women you've ever watched in porn have come out of the industry either mentally damaged, physically damaged, or likely both. Many of them were vulnerable before they entered in the first place. Some of them were probably coerced.

A very, very small percentage who have effectively "won the porn lottery" will have had a very successful career and have made a lot of money. Most of them will still have suffered physical damage. Many will experience strong regret and possible mental health issues as a result of their time in the industry - even if it was as on-the-level as it gets and they made a tonne of cash.

I dunno man it's not so much that I'm just "anti-porn" as that I find it a little difficult to get a chub on when considering all of the (easily and clearly verifiable) statistics about the effect of the porn industry on women, both individually and societally. And I don't think it's an "each to their own"... I think the industry should be burned to the ground and a large proportion of the big names at the top of it should be in prison.
