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
Yeah, people think it’s easy to defraud Social Security. It’s hard pretending that I was born over 150 years ago.
Shit, all the work I had to maintain that fraud. Fuck me, it was tough.
Shut up Elon, we know it is you
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.
My cousin dropped out of university after a few months, and wanted to be a pro gaming streamer instead.
Oddly enough he never did achieve that, and now mostly sits around his parent’s house doing quite a lot of being depressed.
I imagine it’s as easy to make money off of as YouTube or Twtich, almost impossible.
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.
The only people who think sex work isn’t work are terrible at sex.
And probably terrible at work.
Some girls aren’t in it for the money or fame, they just like posting nudes
Right, but aren’t those girls in it for the attention? The thrill? Sounds like she’s not getting any attention, either.
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.
if you’re a gooner
if you’re not a creep
Good luck with that Venn diagram.
Hence all the ifs. But hey, the competition isn’t fierce! Put the slightest effort into being self-aware, respectful, and charming and you can easily get her attention.
Misogyny is very popular on Lemmy. Racism usually too as long as it’s coded.
Anon experiences empathy for once in their miserable life.
One of the few legit greentexts. lolI see this quite often on the other side of reddit. It’s quite sad. On that side of reddit, where no one shows their face, except occasionals who either leave generic “sexy 😍” comments or entitled requests, no one acknowledges you for trying.
Every time I see some woman praising sex work and/or calling it feminist, I am reminded of the 10 other girls who who_red away their dignity for absolutely nothing
That’s what you get when you post on Reddit. Lemmy users appreciate everyone (becaude the communities are almost dead).
Sounds like anon could had made her day by just talking to her
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
Your post ended in a way I was not expecting.
Maybe it’s for the best he didnt…
I know that girl’s pain. I, too, want to be a massive whore but nobody wants me. 😔
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).
Where are those pics? Where?
Apparently the woman from the greentext was known as “plastixfangs” online. She deleted a significant amount of her content, but random porn sites still have some of her posts. For example, https://pornpics.click/@plastixfangs (NSFW)
Yeah, I can see why tbh.
Every shot just lacks enthusiasm, and just screams “I thought this would be easy”.
Also, the photos look like they were taken on a phone, quite a few years ago now, and with not the best lighting.
I can see it, she’s certainly not ugly, but not attractive enough to stand out from the crowd either.
And I don’t think she’s particularly good at taking photos of herself, either.
Wait that’s not a Rickroll
Yeah, the rare “OP delivers” moment. Savor it, you’ll probably never see it again.
Yup, that’s the one.
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.
Yeah, she really should wait until OP’s mom retires.
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.
Nah, the post would be removed and OP would get a temp ban (or whoever posted the link).
plain, no curves, small tits, goth
Can a brother get a link?
You really needed a URL shortener, didn’t you, you devil?
I like thunder :)
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?
Someone else in the comments said they were there and it’s actually real. Likely still into men though
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.
