I know that girl's pain. I, too, want to be a massive whore but nobody wants me. 😔

[–] [email protected] 29 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Don't be the whore the world wants, but the world deserves.

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.

Making money requires work

That comes as a surprise for many people

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.

It's like sex work is work.

Yeah, you can see this for yourself if you have a VR headset and a couple of sites have VR cams set up.

Mostly they forget they exist (although I'm grateful for the ones that don't), so you get a kind of behind the scenes look at it all.

The one thing that strikes me is their demeanour the instant they're off the main cam. These girls are so fucking done with everything and everyone, and it's not surprising most of them quit after a month or two. Most of them are probably getting a fraction of the money tipped, with a good chunk going to the handlers (a lot of pretend typing going on, and they get directed by the person at the keyboard) and room rent (much of it seems to be in the same handful of buildings somewhere in St Petersburg). Many of them are on multiple sites at once, with phone apps on the go as well.

It's a real business.

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 imagine it’s as easy to make money off of as YouTube or Twtich, almost impossible.

[–] RBWells 49 points 3 days ago (3 children)

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.

[–] captainlezbian 9 points 2 days ago

I've dated pic sellers, and yeah you've summed it up. Sex work is work, and it's mostly a sales job

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.~~

[–] [email protected] 29 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I mean, they probably could, but what's available to them isn't exactly the cream of the crop either.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 3 days ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 86 points 3 days ago (6 children)

if you're a gooner

if you're not a creep

Good luck with that Venn diagram.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

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

[–] ChexMax 37 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Right, but aren't those girls in it for the attention? The thrill? Sounds like she's not getting any attention, either.

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.

Sounds like anon could had made her day by just talking to her

[–] [email protected] 172 points 4 days ago (4 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

That’s interesting, I just assumed 95% of the posts in nsfw communities were from management firms and collectors.

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?

[–] [email protected] 34 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Someone else in the comments said they were there and it's actually real. Likely still into men though

Anon experiences empathy for once in their miserable life.

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.

[–] [email protected] 48 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, she really should wait until OP's mom retires.
