Unfortunately I think a lot of things in porn are driven by vocal minorities.
How did you come to that conclusion?!
Do you think studios make porn that doesn't sell to satisfy the vocal minority?
So, it's definitely not a one size fits all answer. This is just my opinion.
The first question is whether or not prolapse fans are a minority. Although I suspect they are, I have no way of proving it short of a poll, and it would have to be a poll of all Avids users, not just those members who frequent the form. I can't prove it, but would venture to say that the people who like prolapse really like it, but a majority of users don't enjoy seeing inside out rectal tissue that a surgical protocologist would treat I'm not saying that to be judgmental, I could care less that other people are into it, I'm just saying you're going to lose some people. Just like you lose people with a lot of pissing.
There's an article about this somewhere regarding incest porn. The industry tested whether or not people who aren't into it would still watch it. Take a hot girl and a hot outfit and high quality filming, and make her say stepbrother 20 times, and see if it turns off the non-family porn people from watching. In most cases, vanilla people tolerate it because it's just a pet word. Then they also gain the fetish people, so more overall downloads.
Piss, buttrose and other more polarizing things are different. Here's the only way if you could know buttrose is worth it for the studio financially: (1) measure all those who are indifferent to the buttrose and buy the content for the girl anyway (2) Measure people who buy the video
who would not have otherwise purchased the video if there wasn't a buttrose. (3) Measure people who don't buy the video,
who would have bought it without the buttrose. . If you have more of #3 than you do of #2, it makes no sense to sell buttrose video. If you have more of #2 than #3, then it's lucrative to sell buttrose. But the problem is I doubt the studio knows which it is. So here's the kicker:
The most lucrative thing of all is to sell two versions, and this is clearly evident with piss porn. Avids is very much aware that they lose some viewers to piss content, but that they gain others. They gain more money by selling two versions. They're not going to take the time to pay someone for editing and file storage etc. for the hell of it.
Are they going to sell a buttrose and non buttrose version? I highly doubt it as that sounds pretty ridiculous, but it would technically make them more money. At the end of the day they should only do this practice for tags like piss that have the biggest swings.
Conclusion: the industry caters to the vocal minority fetishists when they know they're not losing many mainstream viewers. When they know they're losing more mainstream viewers than they are gaining fetishists, they will make more money offering two versions. If they don't know precisely how many viewers they're losing, because the content is still selling pretty well, they'll do a cost-benefit analysis of whether or not it's worth selling two versions. And then sometimes they just don't know and say, well it seems to be selling pretty well, and live with it.
If all this sounds too analytical for simply slinging porno, let's remember its a multi billion dollar industry.
