Comment on Who?

Yeah I never understood that one either. It’s shocking to me that enough people are willing to not just pay for porn, but pay directly for porn from one individual source that its become a viable and massive industry. Part of me thinks the numbers that these only fans stars claim MUST be inflated and they have money from family or something. But I’m basing that on vibes and nothing else so who knows.
What you’re seeing as “big stars” are really just the biggest outliers. I don’t know how reliable of a source it is, but from here it says that the average person on onlyfans makes $180 per month, and that 75% of all the creators make less than $100 per month.
Another source I found that’s a little more recent says that they’re earning slightly more than that, but not by much.
That probably also factors in the creators that aren’t there for porn though right?

I'd guess it's more that on onlyfans you can convince yourself that you're getting personal attention from the artist. It's a combination of creepiness with maybe a bit of loneliness.

Yes, it’s a parasocial relationship. Basically, the consumers of this content are sort of getting a subscription girlfriend experience, which I guess is very appealing to men that lack the ability to attract women in the real world. It’s kind of like men who go to strip clubs.

Yeah when you put it that way it makes sense. I’ve never been a strip club guy myself so I guess I just don’t get it.

That’s fucked up for so many reasons.
