Yeah my husband seems to think onlyfans is easy money, like I could just post a nude and money would come rolling in magically, talks about how much big earners are making on YouTube too, but hustling like that is so much harder than having a job, you have to be organized and ambitious and then for every one person making thousands, there are many thousands of people making pennies.
It's so much easier to just have a job.
IIRC the average creator on OF makes less than a dollar a month
I've dated pic sellers, and yeah you've summed it up. Sex work is work, and it's mostly a sales job
And more lucrative on average.
...this kind of hurt my heart.
I know it's probably fake, but I low key think this is the experience of most women, online or not. Men like to think women can just ring a bell and get dick and companionship, judging off of, like, the cream of the crop of women and their (apparent) track record. It's not always that easy, especially if you aren't attractive. A lot of men don't fuck for personality.
Obligatory not all men, yes there are shallow women, and yes it is also hard for men to find partners, and yes they have their own struggles and pressures that make their struggle unique to them.I mean, they probably could, but what's available to them isn't exactly the cream of the crop either.
I imagine it's similar to the gay male experience - I could get a hookup any time of day easily, but the guys aren't relationship material.
Two sides of the fence reaching for the same cream. 😔
Imagine equating selling of ones dignity to selling ones pics.
Top Victorian mind, after the morphine clears.
Someone linked what they think was the person in a comment, at best they went to a lot of effort for very little in return.
The funny thing is that if this greentext linked this girl OnlyFans, she would gain tons of views just out of pity.
Some of these would even stick around afterwards.
Nah, the post would be removed and OP would get a temp ban (or whoever posted the link).
Lil tiddy supermarket goth girl sounds cute tbh, or maybe I just have a type.
Anyway, girls like this can be a real gem to find if you're a gooner. Their small fan base means if you're not a creep there's a chance of genuine interaction. She'll probably take request and if she likes you might even send you free content.
if you're a gooner
if you're not a creep
Good luck with that Venn diagram.
Would two circles on top of each other, but offset by 2 micrometers still count as a Venn diagram?
Hence all the ifs. But hey, the competition isn't fierce! Put the slightest effort into being self-aware, respectful, and charming and you can easily get her attention.
There's a whole ... sliver of us! I may not even be speaking of the royal "we"!
Damn I remember this post from when I was on 4chan still. OP did provide links and his story was 100% true. The girl wasn't ugly, just kinda plain but almost every pic of her somehow exuded despair, and that was honestly offputting (except for the kind of creeps who get off on that I reckon).
Where are those pics? Where?
Apparently the woman from the greentext was known as “plastixfangs” online. She deleted a significant amount of her content, but random porn sites still have some of her posts. For example, https://pornpics.click/@plastixfangs (NSFW)
This happened to a girl I knew that tried to make some money on onlyfans during Covid lockdown. Only lasted 4 months, even though she was pretty attractive. I think guys just assume that as a girl, you can simply post nudes online and make money, while it actually does require consistent effort, marketing skills, and a bit of luck.
on onlyfans, like most platforms, the vast majority of people make little to nothing
Managed my friends only fans for a bit, we got her account to top 4.5%. She brought in ~$1.5K on a good month. One time we got up to $2K. This is with her having done porn with a few big studios and having a decent amount of followers on Twitter. There is no Discovery feature or feed on OF, you have to direct them there through a direct link. Had to keep a consistent production schedule, deal with inquires from patrons. Successfully running and only fans is like running a business, people don't simply give you money.
There's a bit on the Netflix Pornhub documentary from a camgirl. She notes that she does her own marketing, lighting, camera work, etc., and every once in a while, she masturbates on camera. It's a real job with real effort.
Yeah, you can see this for yourself if you have a VR headset and a couple of sites have VR cams set up.
Mostly they forget they exist (although I'm grateful for the ones that don't), so you get a kind of behind the scenes look at it all.
The one thing that strikes me is their demeanour the instant they're off the main cam. These girls are so fucking done with everything and everyone, and it's not surprising most of them quit after a month or two. Most of them are probably getting a fraction of the money tipped, with a good chunk going to the handlers (a lot of pretend typing going on, and they get directed by the person at the keyboard) and room rent (much of it seems to be in the same handful of buildings somewhere in St Petersburg). Many of them are on multiple sites at once, with phone apps on the go as well.
It's a real business.
I know so many people trying to make it as streamers who cannot seem to understand that you have to do a lot of work to make anything catch on unless you are crazy lucky/extremely attractive. A regular person playing a game isn't interesting for others and it takes energy for most to cultivate a following.
My cousin dropped out of university after a few months, and wanted to be a pro gaming streamer instead.
Oddly enough he never did achieve that, and now mostly sits around his parent's house doing quite a lot of being depressed.
I imagine it’s as easy to make money off of as YouTube or Twtich, almost impossible.
Some girls aren't in it for the money or fame, they just like posting nudes
And it wasn't the grinches heart that grew three sizes that day...
Right, but aren't those girls in it for the attention? The thrill? Sounds like she's not getting any attention, either.
Those girls don't have onlyfans.
You're saying that the only girls who have onlyfans are those who don't truly have the stomach for it? In reality, there's a lot of overlap between fetish communities and OF
It is a rule of thumb in businesses that 80% fail within 5 years. It is the same with anything who are looking for fame and success; only 20% succeed. And even within those 20%, only like 10% are considered in the A-list.
Anyhow, I am curious why this girl felt the need to expose herself. Is it for money? Does she feel insecure and needs validation? Or both?
Know your worth and know where you are valued.
This can sound really deep, but it works for shallow too. I'm sorry girl, but the whore market is saturated and very competitive.
Yeah, she really should wait until OP's mom retires.
That might be a while.
Where do I get my hands on the "aimless schlub" bluebook?
There are a lot of people whod appreciate her features so its surprising she didnt get any attention. Maybe anon made up the story and is actually into men?
Someone else in the comments said they were there and it's actually real. Likely still into men though
fake and into men
Nope anon is the girl trying to get your attention
Lies? On the internet? Impossible!
Anon experiences empathy for once in their miserable life.
One of the few legit greentexts. lolSounds like anon could had made her day by just talking to her
Frankly, I’m glad she was spared the trouble. I can’t imagine they’d be able to offer words of encouragement without seeming intensely parasocial. A generic “you’re hot” wouldn’t have amounted to much. It doesn’t seem like there’s a correct answer, besides finding her irl, flashing her unlocked onlyfans, and begging for her socks
A generic “you’re hot” wouldn’t have amounted to much.
I was reading the debate at Lemmy NSFW about downvotes. There was a comment made by one of the content creators about lack of meaningful comments were kind of demoralizing. I try to give genuine compliments cause it's not easy putting nude photos of yourself to the internet. The internet can be brutal place out there.
Meaning upvotes and bland comments are nice however they don't replace genuine human interactions that we all seek.
Your post ended in a way I was not expecting.
Great advice right here
Maybe it's for the best he didnt...
This is a topic for a community like laststagecapitalism or similar.
Not without a sob-story from the girl. Doubt she did it for the money. Someone with the time and commitment to doing this(if not energy or enthusiam) she demonstrated would make better money doing just about anything else.
Or she was doing drugs, therefore the enthusiasm. Energy fades. Now she is homeless. Or dead.
Ah, another classic case of the wild goonette lost in cyberspace which has yet to be found. In due time.
plain, no curves, small tits, goth
Can a brother get a link?
Sure!
If 1 man 1 jaring myself made good money I'd do it.
the incel mind cannot fathom a woman doing a thing for her own enjoyment
Genuine question, are there people out there who would do this for fun? Because it sounds like a lot of work to me.
I'd say it was more common in the past, and then a lot of them realised they can do it for money. Same with youtube.
They exist, and they would terrify you. Yes, even the attractive ones. Especially the attractive ones.
That sounds like my type, have you got a link you can dm me?
Misogyny is very popular on Lemmy. Racism usually too as long as it's coded.
Yeah I’m not surprised but I am disgusted by the misogyny of this post and the comments.
I see this quite often on the other side of reddit. It's quite sad. On that side of reddit, where no one shows their face, except occasionals who either leave generic "sexy 😍" comments or entitled requests, no one acknowledges you for trying.
Every time I see some woman praising sex work and/or calling it feminist, I am reminded of the 10 other girls who who_red away their dignity for absolutely nothing
Sex work isn't often feminist, but sex workers still deserve respect. They deserve to be included in the feminist movement.
And we can start by no longer implying that the work is somehow undignified. This applies to OP as well as GP.
Sex workers shouldn't have to wait for the revolution to find respect. Maybe there wouldn't be sex workers after the revolution, but I certainly hope it results in a society where people are freer to express their sexuality in safe and consensual ways.
who_red away their dignity
🚩🚩🚩🚩
Surprised that comment has this many upvotes
it's a common criticism on reddit that the nsfw subs are just becomijg advertsfor OF so I'm not surprised they dont get much interaction
Becoming? It's been that way for a very long time.
That's what you get when you post on Reddit. Lemmy users appreciate everyone (becaude the communities are almost dead).
