I was looking for a different poast but this reminds me:
I've had 3 exes that were propositioned to star in porno, and that was in the aughts to teens. I don't know if it's drawn back a little bit, but it seemed like every dang woman who'd go to the mall, or even just walk around downtown would have some pervert follow her and try to pass his card so they could "model".
I actually used to think one of my exes did a video, because later on I'd made a joke about it and she acted really offended, in my head I figured she was the exact sweet spot they'd look for: medium attractive, but not enough to develop good defenses against male interest, gullible, and eager to make money and feel like a big city girl.
All it takes is for them to get pulled in to "model" something and the guy offers them drugs to help them not be "nervous" and then it's off to the races. That old Girlsdoporn lawsuit had some info about the process, the girls acted like they had no idea what they were in for when they flew out to "model", like there's a single place in the nation that can't get a hold of a 6/10 girl to wear a sweater for some catalog pics
