Lilly Allen is on onlyfans and makes more money than her Spotify streams. She only post feet pics so there’s that.

I personally never understood dropping out when something like this happeneds. Like bro now you got the money to have the degree and not worry about paying it off. Might as well have it just to have it

A science PhD is fucking grueling.
Deepus@lemm.ee 4 days ago
As someone who didnt even pass their first year and dropped out, mind explaining whats involved in a PHD and why science ones are so grueling?
glimse@lemmy.world 4 days ago
They drop out so they can do the other thing full time instead of part time…
Especially because it’s porn. Gotta make as much money now while she can

Academia is misogynist enough without an OF account. She’s leaving a shitty job not just a low paying job.

With 2m instead properly you won’t have to work another day in your life, with 1m you won’t either but you might not be able to live in the buffet cities.
Give me 1m and I’m retiring tomorrow.

You can always get that degree later when your income slows down. You’ll have more total money if you dedicate yourself full-time to the money-making endeavour.

True, I didn’t think of that
Draegur@lemm.ee 4 days ago
If you’ve got it, flaunt it.
I hope she manages to set up an irrevocable trust that guarantees steady income for the rest of her life so someday she can quit sex work and just pursue art or something if she wants
Hell, maybe it’ll turn out that sex work is her art and that is ok too
Soulg@sh.itjust.works 4 days ago
Good for her but I can’t help but feel envious that paths and choices like this are basically exclusively only available to the opposite sex
ramirezmike@programming.dev 4 days ago
you could argue that men have similar exclusive, lucrative paths that use their strength/athleticism and are also probably statistically similar rates of exclusivity within their sex. Like, not everyone will be a professional footballer just like not every onlyfans model makes livable income.
pyre@lemmy.world 4 days ago
it isn’t. there’s a lot of male OF models too, although their fans are probably mostly gay men. good news is, unlike performers from before online videos took off, you don’t really have to be “gay for pay”. OF models can get away with doing solo work as well.
Blackmist@feddit.uk 4 days ago
Blame that on men being the only people willing to pay for it.
That said there’s plenty of gay men out there willing to buy pictures of your ding dong if it’s photogenic enough.

Seen half a dozen posts like this recently. Always screams misogynistic outrage bait to me.
kadup@lemmy.world 4 days ago
I’m fairly convinced posts like this are sponsored by these platforms to trick young women into joining, as they need an endless supply of new “content” when people get bored of the popular models. That fetish site “Feet Finder” did that a lot, they sponsored tens of thousands of TikTok creators to pretend they got rich selling their feet pictures, when in reality, the people joining the platform were never paid.
bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 4 days ago
Yeah, the money those few lucky ones make is chicken shit compared to what the platform owner makes.
HaleHirsute@infosec.pub 4 days ago
Yeah exactly, the person that can actually make $1 million on the platform is rare, and often artificial (companies tweak the algorithm to make some users extra successful for these kinds of headlines and promotions). They’re just marketing and luring talent.

AlecSadler@sh.itjust.works 4 days ago
The stories my female doctor friend tells me about treatment from male colleagues or female superiors is freaking rage-inducing. But 99% of the time she can’t do shit about it because she’ll be ostracized or risk her job, or in the past risk residency or placements. It suuuucks.
bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 4 days ago
6 downvotes from people going “not from me, I treat bitches nicely”.
tja@sh.itjust.works 5 days ago
I… looked more into that.
She did an interview in which she said that she did not like the academia Life but wants to focus on her social media career, which includes of, but also a YouTube channel where she published science related videos
So still doing science stuff, but not pursuing a PhD anymore.

It’s just one woman. She doesn’t represent whatever “they” you are refering to because there are a lot more women who don’t take this path.

I googled this story to, uh, fact check it, and found this article saying that her move to OF is fake news. Except, upon closer examination, it seems the article is AI slop and completely made up. How ironic.
JackbyDev@programming.dev 4 days ago
So I’m reading this debunking, and
Zara smartly leveraged the viral moment to confront the misinformation head-on and promote her YouTube channel, where her actual content lies.
So I go to her YouTube channel youtube.com/@zara-dar and,
Description
STEM Gal and Model Austin, Texas.Message me:
ZaraDarz.comMost recent video is youtu.be/_uEG0H4RXcA where she says she is making an OnlyFans (I’m not going to watch the full 10 minutes so unless this is an elaborate prank that’s revealed in the end…)
Go to ZaraDarz.com which is listed as her website on her YouTube channel
STEM Gal | PhD Dropout | OnlyFans model
Go to the OnlyFans link onlyfans.com/zaradar/c3
If you are a sapiosexual, this page is for you 😉 (Please click “more info” below 🥹)
Texas-born and bred, engineer, Ph.D. dropout, and YouTuber. I’m a nerd with a passion for art, fitness, and reading.
On this page, I share with you my artistically and beautifully curated exclusive content which includes a level of nudity and my love for erotica 📸. I love pushing my boundaries with you 😉.
Also this Instagram page links to her website (the one mentioned on her YouTube) and is from at least as far back as December 2022 www.instagram.com/zara.darz/ which also mentions she is a 🌶️ Content Creator and links to an exclusive invite only Instagram page.
And I’m just rereading your comment and seeing that you said the debunk article is AI slop, I thought you were saying that article called others AI slop lmao.
Well, if anyone else misreads it they can also see this too now lol.
Kit@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 days ago
Good for her! I’m sure it’s not easy to achieve that kind of success on OnlyFans, so clearly she made some smart moves to get where she is.

Kit@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 days ago
No, no sarcasm. The vast majority of OnlyFans creators barely make any money. This woman did something smart to achieve success.
BlackPenguins@lemmy.world 4 days ago
I guess it depends on how easy you can be discovered. It’s easy to take off your clothes and get people to pay you to do it, but if you’re in a sea of 1000s of women doing the same thing are you seen?
Same thing with being a YouTuber. Anyone can create a channel. It’s hard to make that channel with something.

There is no need to bring in race and divide us. We’re all getting fucked by the 1% regardless of skin color.
Emmie@lemm.ee 4 days ago
I watched the video and it is very convincing and honestly true on many levels. If you can earn much better money from being your own boss then why would you want to spend time with those assholes at work?
arsCynic@beehaw.org 4 days ago
I suspect it’s AI generated too. Look at her right shoulder after around the 30 second mark: youtube.com/shorts/Cks_9h9Nx_Q, it’s all jittery.
Emmie@lemm.ee 4 days ago
I think it may be extreme case of AI augmentation techniques. I do not think the whole person is artificial outright. The older the video the more clear it should be.
What can we tell is 100% real is onlyfans money and someone actually being in front of the camera.
loutr@sh.itjust.works 4 days ago
If I had to guess, I’d say her OF gig is far from a full time job. So she still has time to spare to work on what she enjoys, and the capital to start an actual business down the road.

brucethemoose@lemmy.world 3 days ago
This is… so inefficient.
She could have become an engineer (or whatever she wants), made videos about it, and made a big difference in many people’s lives, and had whatever personal life she wanted. Instead, she’s producing ‘entertainment’ that’s been replicated a bajillion times.
I an happy for her personally, but this is such a loss to society and a huge ding against the education/work pipeline. If it isn’t ‘worth the hardship’ for someone so brilliant, hardworking, charismatic, attractive, and everything to go into STEM, then the system is completely busted.
Jumpingspiderman@lemmy.world 3 days ago
If it’s such a loss to society, perhaps something should be done about society’s economic structure and how it partitions rewards. Rather than throwing shade on someone for making an economically advantageous decision.

OnlyFans is suspicious af considering it’s not blocked in US states with porn bans. Some weird small group of people did a lot of hard work to effectively create a monopoly over porn in some U.S. states, users and creators should beware. I wouldn’t be surprised if some of these onlyfans contents are marketing pieces.
Jumpingspiderman@lemmy.world 3 days ago
TBH, I don’t blame her in the least. It’s hard enough for men. I can’t imagine what it must be like for women to endure misogyny on top of what men go through in STEM.
TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 4 days ago
I’ve done cursory research on this person, and my understanding is that she claims she will still be teaching science but only wearing sexy tops on. I don’t know how truthful that is but even some Olympic athletes said they are in Only fans but “only being sexy without showing”, in order to supplement their income. I don’t really fault people for this considering the worsening cost of living crisis.

cabron_offsets@lemmy.world 4 days ago
Good call. I left science after my PhD 20 or so years ago. I make more than many of the scientists that I manage. Science is a long, hard path that doesn’t pay well for probably 99% of PhDs.
I owe my financial security to that decision all those years ago.
