Also, the sanctions for "aggressive marketing" are insane. You can literally be out here minding your own damn business, never once having used your PA to mess with another company, but other companies will sanction the everliving shit out of you just for marketing your business and the player has no recourse? How am I supposed to get a foothold in the business if when I try, the companies that are already running shit stomp the fuck out of me when I try and move up? Why are you trying to make things so hard on the player? Why are you trying to balance everything against everything else? This isn't an MMO. Cam shows don't have to be balanced against, photo studios don't have to be balanced against strip club, etc. The way the game is setup it's like you're forcing people to play a certain way.
If I want to run a photo studio company. Let me.
If I want to run cam shows. Let me.
If I want to do porn. Let me.
If I want to be a strip club magnate. Let me.
If I want to run a night club. Let me.
If I want to dabble in a little bit of everything. Let me.
You give the player all these options but punish them for using them. Why? Just make sure the jobs work and let people do what they want. So what if cam shows, or whatever, make more than strip clubs, or whatever else. Can strip clubs be a viable means of making money? Yes? Cool, stop complaining about what makes what and enjoy the game. Play how you want. Run the business you want to run. Rinse and repeat for everything else.

Like, come on man, those sanctions are absurd! That's like Google bullying a local news website. Ain't shit I can do about that. I'm just supposed to stop marketing altogether? Like I really don't get why you're so intent on making things so difficult for the player.
