Why porn industry comes with a stigma even in the technical world?

I think this is a nice sign of how high and deep hypocrisy is these days. I'll find it very hard to believe that any single person with access to a computer has not visited pornhub at least once in his/her life. That alone makes pornhub a high traffic web-site. Without any insider knowledge I'd presume it's also technical savvy if only for it to support the high traffic. So, that would place it amongst a place that as a tech person I'd love to work in. At least according to the stereotype techies are after technical challenges. Only that it does not exist. At least not in the regular "serious" jobs sites. E.g. Linkedin. And I guess that this "stigma" is perpetuated and rains over the professionals in all of this industry with mostly bad consequences for them and their families. And TBH I don't understand how and why I rarely if ever hear of a startup in that business domain. Is it the "stigma" again? Because I find it hard to believe that there is not money to be made there and stale waters to be disrupted there. Dunno. Does anyone else feel the same?
