I'm a girl, in a healthy BMI and with nice hair, pretty and freckled face, but my feet are super crappy. Like, crusty, toes bend at weird angles, hard skin in random places. Even my own husband is like "plz no, stop" if they get too near to him.

I'm now wondering if there's a market on the other end of the scale...

It is my firm belief that, given a proper pitch, ANYTHING can be sold at a profit.

Also, there's rule 34: If a thing exists, it's someones fetish.

There is. There’s a fetish for everything. Certainly when it involves your feet, I’d ask your husband if he’d be ok with some internet strangers paying you every month to see your feet, the worst is he says no, and on the other hand if he says yes you have a second source of easy income

[-] Lennnny@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago

He'd probably have empathy pains for any future subscribers.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago

Maybe, but do you really want someone jerking off to video of your super crappy feet?

Due to the people being people, who knows who has what kinks. I suppose there is only one way to find out.

And no, I'm not into feet myself.

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 11 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

Post pictures of them on Onlyfans.

Add the caption "Listen up, degenerates. I'll only warn you once. I will release a new photo, closer than the previous, every hour, on the hour, until my subscriber goal is met."

I used to know a dude that would have gotten hard at your written description here. No bullshit. Dude was obsessed with feet, and what he called "real feet" were his particular favorite. Feet that had seen some life, had been used was one of the few things he would talk about. Literally obsessive about feet.

I guarantee he is not the only one. The only question is if there's enough like that to make any useful money out of a feet only business.

There's something about foot fetishists that's extra obsessive compared to any other fetishists I've run across over the years.

Seeing how this thread is full of hate for Spotify by seeming large number of people who are fans of streaming music/podcast services, I'll pos this question here:

What are the better alternatives for someone seeking to get their favored audios, in terms of library selection, able to form custom playlists and how much if any support to the artist/content creator actually gets to them and what is pocketed by the app?

[-] flamingo_pinyata@sopuli.xyz 14 points 20 hours ago

I don't think there's all-in-one best option

library size

Deezer

how much is paid to the creator

Bandcamp

[-] dan@upvote.au 1 points 11 hours ago

Buy CDs, rip them to FLAC, and self-host something like Plex + Plexamp. Plexamp is a very nice app, but I'm sure there's others.

[-] kerrigan778@lemmy.world 3 points 16 hours ago

Tidal, or buy albums and self host if you're up for it but I feel like that's not a real option for most.

Holy shit. I have feet. Does anyone want pictures of a guy's feet? They're big and weirdly shaped.

[-] celeste@kbin.earth 40 points 1 day ago

I'm positive there is an audience for men's feet, but if you aren't 5 stars on wikifeet, you'll probably have to market yourself. Study the foot fetish community to find out what the dude foot fan needs more of. Etc.

[-] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 33 points 1 day ago

Is there any way I can do this without finding out any more about this fetish?

From creating toe tappers to taping her toes.

[-] RattlerSix@lemmy.world 38 points 1 day ago

Am I missing something? Does it not say she makes an estimated $4000 per DAY from Spotify and $8000 per MONTH from onlyfans?

[-] celeste@kbin.earth 44 points 1 day ago

https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/lily-allen-feet-pictures-make-more-money-spotify-streams-1235811354/

Allen’s daily stream count on Spotify as of Oct. 17 was about 851,623. Assuming that number is correct, the Music Streaming Royalty Calculator estimates Spotify would’ve paid a total of $4,077 a day, with $3,239 going to sound recording for the copyright owner; $336 of mechanical royalties going to the publisher, who pays the songwriter; and $503 in performance royalties going to performance rights organizations (ASCAP, BMI, etc.).

Which of these numbers goes to her? I'm just confused, I think.

Everybody likes to hate Spotify but if they pay out 4000 dollars a day and the artist gets nothing, that doesn't sound like Spotify is the main problem.

[-] egrets@lemmy.world 11 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago)

There's a definite industry problem, but that doesn't excuse Spotify.

Apple Music pays artists 50-100% more than Spotify do per play, and Tidal pay triple to quadruple. Even Amazon pay artists more than Spotify; only YouTube is worse.

An unknown and probably pitiful fraction of $336, by the looks of it.

$336 of mechanical royalties going to the publisher, who pays the songwriter

[-] RattlerSix@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Ok I did a little searching. She might get some of the $336 to the publisher/songwriter, but only if she is credited as a writer. Not every song is written by the artist. There doesn't seem to be anything in that breakdown that goes to the artist specifically. The bulk of the money is going to the copyright owner, who is often the record company, and seems to be who owns her songs. It seems like whatever she gets paid would be up to whatever contract she signed with them.

This pdf file explains that a typical major label artist might make 18% of the $4077 per day.

https://www.manatt.com/Manatt/media/Media/PDF/US-Streaming-Royalties-Explained.pdf

If she makes $266 a day from onlyfans, she has to be making around 8% of the $3,239 the record company is getting daily for it to be less than onlyfans.

The article is missing the content from the quoted article for the 4,000 a day. It pays out 4,000 a day to the studios and publishers, whatever actually % of that she gets is probably less than 10.

What's fun is that some people who read this article are probably into feet (good for them!) so it's like an ad and now she'll probably make even more on onlyfans. While still making ludicrously little from spotify.

I love how the whole crowd of people that used to be all "what, you don't have a Spotify account?!" Are now starting with the "wait a minute, these guys are domineering and bad!" Like the signals for crowd abuse aren't plain as day.

This exploitative behavior will be down by literally any company that sets themselves up to be "the streets" that you gotta navigate to interact with someone else or their media. That means YouTube, Facebook, and also all those physical places on Earth.

[-] bitchkat@lemmy.world 3 points 15 hours ago

I had a 6 month trial of Spotify for $1 so I thought I'd try it to see if it would help me discover new music. It only has about 70% of the albums in my collection. I wasn't willing to lose 30% of my music so it's back to USB in the car and plexamp everywhere else.

[-] dan@upvote.au 1 points 11 hours ago

USB in the car and plexamp everywhere else.

Why not Plexamp in the car too? If you don't have great mobile data, in Plexamp you can download playlists for offline playing.
