    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.

      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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

        There’s a difference between none and some.

        She gets some attention, not much, but some.

        We call it nothing at all, even if it’s not nothing. It’s obvious why we do it, it’s the absence of respect. But we are technically wrong.

          People’s views are so skewed by social media numbers. If 10 people came up to you in one day and complemented you, it would probably be the best day of your life…

          It’s like people complaining that Lemmy groups only have, using this group as an example, 3.1k users/day and are therefore not worth participating in (these are Reddit arguments, but still).

          Somehow people have developed this intuition that unless you have literally millions of interactions then you’re practically invisible. If you were hanging out at a park with 3,100 people you wouldn’t say that it was a small group, but on the Internet this is seen as a tiny number of people, hardly worth mentioning.

            While we agree, I want to clarify this:

            Lemmy groups only have, using this group as an example, 3.1k users/day

            That still means this platform is clearly not anywhere near challenging the big ones, and therefore not really having a big impact on improving the internet the way I want it to. I am especially annoyed by the idiots who want to keep Lemmy small.

            On a personal level, 10 is a small crowd and three thousand is a lot of people. But when talking about platforms and impact, it’s not much at all.

    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).

    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.

      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.

        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.
