The important piece of this to me is this: She made $1 mil on OnlyFans and $42k/year as a teacher. She wants to be a teacher despite making plenty of money from other sources. This tells me that unless you have other evidence of impropriety she's someone we want in the classroom. It also reinforces my stance, along with plenty of other studies that have been performed, that a universal basic income won't stop people from working.

Pay people better and we'll just keep working because we like it. It's part of being human, but we shouldn't be suffering to survive at the same time.

$1 million = 23.8 years of teaching at $42K/yr.

[-] azimir@lemmy.ml 78 points 8 months ago

Add in that id you don't blow it all, you get to count the interest income. A long term investment gets about 6-7% per year. That's actually more than the teaching job pay.

People probably will choose to work on different things though. It's harder to exploit a workforce that isn't as desperate. That's the real reason why UBI isn't happening.

I quit a job I really liked for one I didn't like nearly as much because I hardly made more than minimum wage

If I won the lottery I would go back to that first job and work for free.

A million dollars from OnlyFans and now she gets an employment law claim against the new employer.

This may truly be the only way to get ahead as a teacher in the US...

The attractive teachers must have really been frustrated by me. I only cared if you were a cool teacher. Most of the time, the attractive teachers were not the cool teachers.

I love how the employer admitted to not checking her references or googling her beforehand.

Can't really blame her when they didn't do their due diligence.

I'm a senior manager at a pretty big company.

That's something she does on the side, and if anyone in the workplace gave her shit, I would tell them to leave it the fuck alone unless they wanted me to bring HR in to the convo.

Can people please not be cunts? (I'm an Aussie...)

Edit: People need to disconnect things. Say there's leaked nudes (or even just public nudes) of a work colleague. Let's take it to they used to do porn. Yep, that's something they did. That has zero impact on their role now or who they are in their role. They don't deserve shame, or ridicule.

Maybe we should pay our teachers so they don't have to do more work when they're done with work so they can do stuff like not starve to death or have a roof over their head?

After her OnlyFans became public, Coppage told KMOV that she made $1 million on the platform. Her yearly teaching salary was $42,000, she said at the time.

Brb, going to go make an OF rq

[-] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 83 points 8 months ago

Enjoy sitting at the shite end of the Pareto income distribution.

OF is a marketing gig, if you don't have a way to push your content and leverage network effects, you're not going to make any money.

The revenue from an only fans is the customer count × avg customer lifetime × avg subscription price, customer count is a function of your exposure to potential customers, and lifetime is a function of your content frequency and originality (I assume if you upload the same content types the fan base gets bored).

So, if you want a successful OF, you need to first focus on exposure, but the algos on most social media reward the haves, so your first issue is getting into people's feeds. The best way to do this is targeting niches, areas with lower volume or high demand for content.

Then you need to keep your audience by engaging with them but pushing new concepts, which will present it's own challenges. There's very much a quick copy culture on these networks that you'll probably have to emulate to keep on the front of the engagement curve, and expect anything you do that success to be quickly replicated ad infinitum until it doesn't anymore. I think this is a losing battle over time.

You can also offer whale services like "girlfriend experiences" to try and lock in big spenders, but first you need them on a hook.

It's not just snap some pics and you're good.

You'll need a school full of students and probably some news sites to run an article about you in order to make those kinds of profits.

They claim that I violated their social media policy, but will not respond to me with how I violated it.

This second part is what is going to get her a nice piece of damages. What was the policy? Was it spelled out when she started? Is Only Fans actually social media?

The answers are: There's a vague one that certainly doesn't cover the use of OF; she wasn't given it; and no, she's an actress.

KMOV reached out to Compass Health, but the company has not yet responded.

It feels like she knew she would get fired from this new job, leverage it nationwide articles and get even more subscribers to her OF page. She even references the teaching gig in her bio, and the new job in her latest posts.

[-] bassomitron@lemmy.world 73 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Maybe. It doesn't matter. Jobs shouldn't be able to fire you because you get naked on the Internet, which requires you to pay to even see in the first place.

Edit:

@meep_launcher@lemm.ee made a great point about teacher/student dynamics and I can agree with that in most circumstances (e.g. the students are underage). I still think it's ridiculous for her second, non-teaching job to fire her.

[-] meep_launcher@lemm.ee 40 points 8 months ago

I'm a teacher and they specifically have guidelines on what you're behavior online should be. Keeping your socials clean. Making sure my interactions with students are kept professional.

The fact is that kids these days are nosey and great researchers. Having an only fans as an educator has a huge risk of students discovering it, and will ultimately change the relationship between student and teacher from a student/ teacher relationship to a viewer/ pornstar one.

Her job doesn't get to decide what she does in her off time. Of course on the streets of the real world they definitely try and succeed. I'm saying that they should not.

God i just want the world to change for the better. This is dumb
