It is surprising as well as depressing that someone can get enough money to buy a house from OnlyFans payout. Goes to say how many people spend money on that kind of stuff. Instagram models living rich lifestyle is different as they endorse products and advertising is involved. This is just people paying to watch someones naked photos.

Why is that in any way depressing? Making others feel better via a personal connection is one of the most noble professions one can pursue.

It’s a lot more important than meaningless “influencer marketing” covert advertising that exists only to make people buy shit they don’t need.

>Why is that in any way depressing?

The connection is fake. The men are desperate. The women are sleazy.

I'm with you on the first two parts but the third one is going to get you slammed here. Women who perform sex work are held in equal/high regard by the members of this community.

it's easy to signal by saying this but how many men who say this would actually want their sister / mom / daughter participating in any sort of sex work? it's both the oldest job and the oldest taboo for a reason

What reason is that?

I'm not a consumer of OF or IG content but I think OF content is more honest and moral.
