How is it worse? It's back to it's roots and literally back to the reason for the sub in the first place. You know how many "free" OF pages consist of spam about special videos and offers? I'd say practically every single one.

as far as higher better quality, I'd disagree. There's something special about seeing someone who you think you could have a chance with. Who could be that quiet coworker down the hall, or a nurse you've seen. What if it's your friend's hot older sister you always had a crush on? Those women might not have been egirls, or would ever have the time, or money to spend on good lighting and photo editing. They're regular fucking people, just trying to get off, not get paid.

Wanting to spread your product around to get people to pay for it is called advertising. It's nothing new.

It will only be dudes reposting weird as stock photos or stolen non consensual content.

Except for years that wasn't the case on any of the gonewilds on reddit. You act like without OF people won't have any access to porn. As if pornhub doesn't exist, or the million other sites. Cam girls exist too. You clearly miss the reason for the gonewild communities and only see it as a place to act like you're just some regular girl who's being dirty. But you're not, you're a professional sex worker. There should be a space for OF workers to post their stuff, but it shouldn't be every single space on this or similar websites.

You're discriminating against the people who just want to share because it makes them and others feel good. You just want money. You can start as an amateur, but once it's your job, you aren't an amateur anymore and don't get to act like you are, or participate in a community designed for amateurs.

replace this with a statement on black people then go look in a mirror and rethink your life. (Not the having an OF, there's nothing wrong with sex work. I mean the bigotry and calls about being discriminated against for not getting free ad space)

but that's why people are mad about it. Give them an inch and they take a mile. You don't wait for the cancer to take hold. You see it, and you treat it as fast as possible.

The thing is, my ad block works on stated ads, but it doesn't work on the subliminal ones such as OF.

All the power in the world to you for doing what you do. I have nothing against it. (I mean, I'm against capitalism in general, but you clearly own the capital in this situation). There should be places where OF women/men can post their profiles so people can find them, the problem is the fact that it's everywhere that used to be more community and amateur based.

I think it's fair to say that the gonewild subs/communities have been taken over by folks who are always wild, as it's their profession. You wouldn't see pornstars posting on gonewild, because they aren't "going wild" in the sense of the basis of the subs, the old series Girls Gone Wild. The whole point was that it's regular people ("hot" or otherwise) posting something risque to step out of their shell. That's why you'd see a lot of cropped faces and such.

What happened is a few people like the one asian woman who's name I just can't remember, who were more attractive than most other posters, started doing it a bit more than just as a dirty little secret. It became the main part of their life. It became a job. Then due to her and others like her, people started getting the idea of OF, where anyone can skip the first part and just start selling sex pics/vids.

I'm not blaming her specifically, especially since I don't remember her name, but there was a definite change in the atmosphere of the gonewilds and by the end of the recent reddit fallout, most of those subs were 98% OF posts. You could click a username and see the same pic, with what had to be auto-generated titles, to as many possible NSFW subreddits they could find.

A big thing now as well is that the non OF posters are more self conscious in general, and might only be trying to post a few selfies a month. When they see what they competition is like (OF posts), they get discouraged. How is anyone supposed to be into them when all they see are these megahotties and yunghungguns all over the place. amateurs don't have the lighting and cameras to even compete with the lowliest OF posters. You can act like you support the amateurs as a creator yourself, but then you post next to them and try and act surprised? It's just a basic difference between amateur and professional (even if it's not corporate) content.

Honestly I think the biggest issue is that OF is a subscription model which forces workers like you into the shitty situation of having to continually make new content and finding new subs. Imho this ends up making the content very quantity over quality, and forces you all into having to advertise aggressively while being unable or unwilling to pursue normal advertising routes.

Just looking at the top cummunities (lmao) here, most are part of the gonewild trope and they're all filled to the brim with OF posts. again, you can't go wild if being wild is your job. You're just wild.
