If that’s all it was then sure a tidy $8k a year is nice.

But $8k a year to have something that if it was ever to come out would cost you jobs, relationships and potentially make life hell for your kids growing up is just not worth it. 

And that is a spectre that will loom over you for years to come. Even long after you’ve stopped posting there’s always the risk it will rear its head again. 

You can argue all day about whether or not society should treat sex workers this way, but the fact is society does treat them this way. It really isn’t worth the risk.

edit: I have a real life example from like ten years ago. There was a kid at my school whose mum posted a video of herself with a coke bottle on a well known amateur porn site. Someone recognised her and it spread like wildfire. Her husband was on our school board of governors and was forced to resign. It was covered in our local newspaper. Her kids got bullied for years and to this day are still known as the kids whose mum fucked herself with a bottle. She did all that for free, but even for $700 it isn’t worth the damage she’s done to her and her family.

Do you get a 1099 from OF ? Because $8k on a 1099 means you better have a ton of business expenses to offset that income.. Uncle Sam will take a big bite, as will state and local taxes. 

And, if you have a bunch of tech equipment to write off, guess what, many localities will see you file a schedule D on your 1040, and ask why you don't have a business license. After they ask about the license, they will want to to know about business property (ie the stuff you write off on the fed taxes) because that's also taxed.

(Do a little consulting work for a friend, get a 1099 and boyhowdy, find out all sorts of things you didn't know and are a huge pain in the ass.. )
