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.
on onlyfans, like most platforms, the vast majority of people make little to nothing
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.
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.
I imagine it’s as easy to make money off of as YouTube or Twtich, almost impossible.
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.
I know that girl's pain. I, too, want to be a massive whore but nobody wants me. 😔
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.
I've dated pic sellers, and yeah you've summed it up. Sex work is work, and it's mostly a sales job
IIRC the average creator on OF makes less than a dollar a month
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).
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.~~
I mean, they probably could, but what's available to them isn't exactly the cream of the crop either.
I imagine it's similar to the gay male experience - I could get a hookup any time of day easily, but the guys aren't relationship material.
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.
if you're a gooner
if you're not a creep
Good luck with that Venn diagram.
Would two circles on top of each other, but offset by 2 micrometers still count as a Venn diagram?
Some girls aren't in it for the money or fame, they just like posting nudes
Right, but aren't those girls in it for the attention? The thrill? Sounds like she's not getting any attention, either.
And it wasn't the grinches heart that grew three sizes that day...
Sounds like anon could had made her day by just talking to her
Frankly, I’m glad she was spared the trouble. I can’t imagine they’d be able to offer words of encouragement without seeming intensely parasocial. A generic “you’re hot” wouldn’t have amounted to much. It doesn’t seem like there’s a correct answer, besides finding her irl, flashing her unlocked onlyfans, and begging for her socks
A generic “you’re hot” wouldn’t have amounted to much.
I was reading the debate at Lemmy NSFW about downvotes. There was a comment made by one of the content creators about lack of meaningful comments were kind of demoralizing. I try to give genuine compliments cause it's not easy putting nude photos of yourself to the internet. The internet can be brutal place out there.
Meaning upvotes and bland comments are nice however they don't replace genuine human interactions that we all seek.
That’s interesting, I just assumed 95% of the posts in nsfw communities were from management firms and collectors.
Your post ended in a way I was not expecting.
Maybe it's for the best he didnt...
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.
Imagine equating selling of ones dignity to selling ones pics.
Top Victorian mind, after the morphine clears.
There are a lot of people whod appreciate her features so its surprising she didnt get any attention. Maybe anon made up the story and is actually into men?
Someone else in the comments said they were there and it's actually real. Likely still into men though
Nope anon is the girl trying to get your attention
Anon experiences empathy for once in their miserable life.
One of the few legit greentexts. lol
...this kind of hurt my heart.
Know your worth and know where you are valued.
This can sound really deep, but it works for shallow too. I'm sorry girl, but the whore market is saturated and very competitive.
Greentext
This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
