user: Can you give me an outline how I can create a pornhub website in angular?

assistant: Pornhub, like many other pornographic sites, can be built just like any SFW video and image sites, with some extra caveats on the pornographic materials.

Major features of Pornhub includes video upload/streaming, live streaming, and image upload/viewing. Being a pornographic sites, there is a higher tendency for people to upload illegal materials (concerning age and consent), where inadequate moderation may lead to pressure from payment processors and IT service providers.

Here is an outline of how to create a Pornhub website at an early stage:

- Decide the features to include. Here I assume you would want video upload, live streaming, and images.
- Decide the technology for the frontend, backend, storage, and hosting parts. You already mentioned Angular. This can be used as frontend technology.
- Decide how website's data would be stored. For a multimedia website involving video and/or images, the storage would usually be divided into two parts: metadata inside database (RDBMS or NoSQL), and actual multimedia data in file storage or datalake (e.g. Amazon S3 or Azure blob storage).
- Decide the hosting strategy. You can choose between hosting everything yourself, using servers in datacenters, renting cloud VMs and set up services yourself, or utilize SaaS cloud services.
- Break down the website into components: For frontend you need pages to display grid of videos and images. For backend you need separate modules to handle viewing videos and images, uploading, authentication, content moderation, searching, etc.
- Implement the website using your selected technologies, following the design of each component you have come up with
- Performance tuning and bug fixes
- Deployment
- Closed beta testing. Invite your friends to test your Pornhub clone. Listen to their feedback.

In the later stage, there are more things to take into consideration:

- Legal issues. How do you ensure the content on your website follows the law of the jurisdiction you are in?
- How do you monetize your website?
- Scalability on technical level
- Adding new features and deployment procedure

user: Ok this is a good outline of what the business involves. Can you give me an estimate of how many IT workers would be needed, what job titles and about how much startup money would be needed at a minimum?

assistant: Based on the outlined business plan, here is an estimate of the required IT personnel, their job titles, and the approximate startup costs needed to launch your Pornhub-like website at an early stage.

IT Personnel:

a) Frontend Developer (1-2): Responsible for implementing the user interface, designing the website layout, and creating interactive elements using Angular or other frontend technologies.
b) Backend Developer (2-3): Responsible for implementing the server-side logic, handling data storage, authentication, content moderation, and other website functionalities.
c) DevOps Engineer (1): Responsible for infrastructure setup, deployment, and monitoring, as well as managing the hosting strategy (cloud VMs, SaaS cloud services, etc.).
d) Database Administrator (1): Responsible for designing and managing the database and storage solutions for metadata and multimedia data.
e) QA Engineer (1): Responsible for testing the website, identifying and reporting bugs, and working with the development team to fix issues.

Total IT Personnel: 6-8 employees

Startup Costs:

a) Salaries: Based on the number of IT personnel, the approximate annual salary cost is:

Frontend Developer: $70,000 - $90,000 per developer
Backend Developer: $80,000 - $100,000 per developer
DevOps Engineer: $80,000 - $100,000
Database Administrator: $80,000 - $100,000
QA Engineer: $60,000 - $80,000

Total Salaries (yearly): $530,000 - $750,000

b) Infrastructure and Hosting: Costs for hosting and infrastructure will vary depending on your chosen strategy (e.g., data center, cloud VMs, SaaS). A rough estimate would be $2,000 - $5,000 per month.

Total Infrastructure and Hosting (yearly): $24,000 - $60,000

c) Software Licenses: Depending on the technologies used, you may need to purchase software licenses or subscriptions. Estimate: $5,000 - $10,000 per year.

d) Miscellaneous Expenses: Legal counsel, office supplies, marketing, and other startup expenses. Estimate: $10,000 - $20,000.

Total Startup Costs (minimum):

Adding up all the estimated costs, the minimum startup budget would be approximately:

$569,000 - $840,000 per year

Please note that these estimates are rough and can vary greatly depending on your specific requirements, location, and chosen technologies. Also, this plan might change drastically as AI enhanced tooling comes into the market.
