Questions regarding adult tube niche

I've recently been gravitating to start a new journey in the adult tube niche. I've been digging for information on the forum and extern sites people recommended.
However I'm still stuck with some questions and I have a lot to learn on my way. So help me out?

First of all DMCA/Copyrights?

I'm not a porn star.. yet and I don't have my own content. This means I have to "borrow" other people's content.
I've learned that I can either use embedded videos or download and upload my own.
The downside of having embedded videos is that the source can modify the links and they will be down on my site.
Hosting my own videos means I need to pay for a hosting service and I think this lays more sensitive on copyrights?

Staying under the radar?

In multiple threads people state that you should always hide your ass while working on your adult tube site.
This means I need a VPN and stay anonymous. Than how are you paying for your services and receiving your paychecks?

Investments?

I'm mainly following the starting guide from pornguide added up with the information I can find here on blackhat.
Of course there's affiliate links and I want to know what investments I really need to make in order to start off this journey.

I'm thinking:

Wordpress, this is going to be my foundation.
A theme and plugins.
A webhost which supports adult content. I'm not sure where to go for this one.
A domain name, obviously.
A CDN, this will protect the IP, provide a SSL certificate and speed up the site. I'm looking into cloudflare & bunny.
A VPN, this will protect me .

There's a lot of options out there..

Thanks for reading! Hope someone can point me in the right directions and give me answers and advice on this journey.

You would pay through bitcoin.

Use an off-shore provider.

Use an affiliate program that doesn't require your information.

Let other people host it to save money. But, there are cheap providers for hosting.

I think you're on the right track though.

Check this thread. It will answer lot of questions.

Normally i don't answer to this new starters ( on adult websites ) ...
I'm working on adult network for over 8 years and i never ever need VPN to hide my a** ... i'm not sure where you read this insane information ...
Anyway, short story for starters.

You don't need VPNs to hide your self ( PS: How long you are not in some weird country who fully ban adult websites or you are from North Korea no bad feelings ).
If you don't know programming to build your own website/s, then go for wordpress:
https://www.wp-script.com ( Is not my script but alot of webmasters in adult industry start to use it and rank good and fast to ... how the hell no idea possible Google Fall in love with Wordpress adult websites )
https://contabo.com/?show=vps ( Buy VPS from here and make sure you select USA on location = $6 and you can host videos to ... )
https://www.cloudflare.com ( Website CDN FREE )
https://bunnycdn.com ( If you host the videos use this, will help alot your videos to be faster for small amount of money for start will be FREE )
If you really need to protect your a** then get nordvpn

DMCA:
How long you don't copy / paste titles/descriptions/keywords you will receive alot less DMCA, and if you receive DMCA remove the videos with issue and done, make sure you check all time your email and google webmasters tools for new DMCA reports ... is not much DMCA on adult websites ...

99% of good ads on adult pay via paypal ...

Can take you 20 min to put a adult website up and running with this, ofcourse what you do next with the website is depends of you ... SEO and others ... Don't forget in adult are millions of websites and i believe 1000 more new adult websites is release each hour so make your plans right what you want to do ... and don't go global adult videos ... select a niche example "milf small boobs" but a niche who have people searching it ... and use CPA ads ... niche websites sometimes can make alot more then global adult videos websites and Google loves more niche then global ... AND don't expect you gonna start making money over night ... this can take 3 months or 6 months and even 1 year depends how lucky you are ...

My suggestion for you, if you really want to dedicate your time on this, start 3/4 adult niche websites ... i know will be alot more work, but this way you can have more success one of them to grow and don't lose 3/6 months for nothing ...

Great advice zocx
