UFC star Paige VanZant launched her OnlyFans account in 2020 and now charges fans $9.99 per month to view her photos, saying she's made "life-changing money."
UFC star Paige VanZant said OnlyFans allows her to make 'life-changing money'
I always say the NFL is the worst sport for athletes because their bodies get destroyed in return for relatively little money (at least for everybody except the superstars), but that's because I always forget about the UFC.
I don’t think so. If it was a male UFC fighter, he’d stand no chance of making as much money as her on a site like OnlyFans. And the UFC is pretty good about equal pay based on gender.
No, this is simply the newest iteration of one of the oldest truths in history: attractive women can milk desperate men for a king’s ransom any day of the week.
She made that much because she's a known fighter established within the UFC. UFC pays shit but it pays shit across the board unless you are a superstar.
I think it's sad seeing this considering all the women I know who have been suckered into making OFs only to make a few bucks from weirdos saving their nudes.
Porn is the same, really. Most people who do porn make very little money from it, but still have to deal with their naked bodies on the internet.
Or if you just actually want to do sex work. It’s like camming. It can be a hobby where you pick up a couple bucks here and there. If you want it to be a job it’s going to be more like trying to make it as a musician or actor.
In general if you’re more or less normal you aren’t going to make any real money as a sex worker. Either you aren’t famous or attractive enough or you aren’t willing to do what it’ll take to make better money or you won’t settle for the little you’ll get or be willing to deal with people who have odd fetishes, possibly of your body type.
Yep, even more so if they had to due to unfortunate reasons. Though not entirely, it works the same way as any average person starting something likestreaming and thinking of making it big quick.
I reckon she only had this much success due to having some level of popularity to begin with.
For every story like this, there are literally millions where regular women make next to nothing for their nudes.
Most normal women with OFs usually end up having a few subs from people they know who just want to distribute their nudes among peers. Imagine thinking you're going to make thousands when you end up making less than $100, and now everyone has your nudes.
That's the reality for most people on OF. And it's sad.
It's all down to exposure and even minor celebrity status can be leveraged to generate lots of views.
You see a similar thing in the acting community: celebrity actors aren't really better as actors than lots of unknowns out there (the quality all around of acting in places with very good acting colleges and a strong acting tradition, such as Britain, is really good) and often you get stories of people's careers taking off due to a mix of luck and persistence, and once people are in the public eye their careers pretty much shift gears (for reference, the average actor in the UK earns in average less than minimum wage from Acting).
If you consider "people having your nudes bad". I'm sure some do/have but many just don't care. My friend's sister has one. I subbed to support her and because she's hot. Unsubbed later because she was too expensive. Hung out with her at a party once and she didn't give a flying shit I had seen her buck naked. We just talked about normal stuff.
I can't believe this stuff, because it is a fox "news" article. Why was this even posted here? How can we be sure that this is even real considering everyone on this post says you don't make jack squat on that site
OK but she wouldn't be as popular and wouldn't have made that much on OF if it weren't for her time in the UFC. I mean she's hot yea, but she's famous because of her mma career.
It's amazing what showing your boobs can do for a woman. It'd be infuriating if not for all the gender-based discrimination and life endangering bullshit they also have to deal with. Instead it's just another example of why we deserve the extinction we're currently bringing down in ourselves.
"women feeling the legit need to expose themselves for others to make a good living is another reason we deserve extinction" might be a better explaination.
But even if not for that, there's lots of other reasons.
I wonder if it's just modern society that gives taboo to naked bodies. There are plenty of other societies whose people are buck naked and they don't seem to think anything much about it. If there is no taboo on being naked, I'm sure Onlyfans wouldn't make any money at all.
It's so cool that we areCapitalism is giving young women the idea that they can make money by selling their body. I'm sure that is great for society.
FTFY
Whether doing sex work, manual labor, or a desk job, you are selling your body for profit. If you have a problem with that then you have a problem with Capitalism.
Doing porn is a permanent stain on your reputation. I hate seeing young girls turn to it because of the easy money to be made. For every girl that has success on only fans is 50 girls who will have their nudes circulate the internet for eternity for a measly 100$.
Do you think that young women don’t figure it out on their own? I’m not saying this is a responsible article, but it’s more like a glowing article about how much oil field workers make. But sex work is old and young women have always figured it out.
I think we have yet to see the full impact of the damage to young women who were sold a dream of making money on only fans. Instead they will have their nudes permanently passed so disgusting old men can jack off to them. There is no undoing that and I suspect that will haunt a lot of girls far into the future.
In my opinion people should be able to do what they want with their own bodies (with the exception of meth, crack, etc) my problem with this only fans situation is that it's just underscoring that our society only seems to value women for their sexuality. I don't follow UFC but assuming she's good at what she does it's sad to me that society values her body more than her abilities. The same thing goes for the only fans teachers. I just wished we valued people for their skills and education more than their flesh. Like I said do what you want with your own body though.
Why don't I have the right to do whatever drugs I like? I know what I'm getting into, and it's my body. A lot of psychiatrists preach the benefits of mushrooms and acid for mental health. And meth and crack certainly aren't as powerful as mushrooms or acid.
The reason porn pays is because so few woman are willing to give up their dignity for the sake of temporary cash flow. If everyone did porn, people would be making scraps.
