Why look for a regular job? Continue OF for another year, retire with this fuck you money and do whatever you want.
I think she's just doing this for free promotion. Every article that's written about her she probably gets tons of new subscribers.
Yup, work the system for all it's worth. The damage to the reputation is long done, so bleed it dry.
While I don't think she should have been terminated from her role, I do wonder why this tactic seems to work so well.
Many smaller news outlets (especially in the UK) regularly run stories about a young woman going through employment disputes, being dumped in some way, or going through something borderline newsworthy, and many times these women have a OF page they actively promote.
I wonder if it's just easy stories from people that want to be promoted?
I don't want to dismiss the issue of people being fired for doing completely legal things, but I can't help but agree, this always seems to be the case. I saw an article recently about a woman struggling with other parents and teachers at school because of the size of her breasts. Seemed sad enough and didn't really understand why it was newsworthy, until I saw the mention of her OnlyFans and it all clicked haha.
Sounds insane to me, but whatever, different strokes for different folks.
Most people need something to do. Being free all the time is rarely good for mental health.
I'm pretty sure my mates mum would die if she ever stopped working, she recently had to slow it down and give up one of her 10 jobs.
I have no idea how people like this exist.
If it's your own business or hobby then cool. But people out there feel the need to do some sort of basic job is crazy to me.
According to her videos, she has mastered several different strokes.
It's about structure and routine. A lot of people hospitalized for psych report issues with too much free time. And for a lot of people one of their only protective factors is a stable and satisfying professional life
Income isn't stable and isn't enough to be considered fuck you money.
A million in 6 months, I think if she could keep up near that for a couple of years, she could invest in something safe and live off of the gains.
Which part of "not stable" did you not understand?
What part of “if” and “near” and “a couple of years” did you not understand.
That's a mountain-sized if pretending to be hamster-sized.
why would you need more than a couple million?
7% of $2mill is $140,000 dollars a year, and anything you don't spend just makes you more money.
it's plenty enough to be "fu" money, though.
Because maybe they actually love being a teacher?
Sorry you cannot be a teacher unless you're poor. That's why the pay is shit.
