Very thankful - Lemmy.World

The porn industry is so fucked, most actors don’t see much regardless of the popularity of their videos. Fuck that.

It has never been easier to get money in the hands of your favorite performers. But it’s still harder than it should be.

(Fuck the prudes at Mastercard)

It’s also easy to get your hands in your favorite performers with money. But harder than it could be
And still it’s peanuts compared to what payment and platform providers make.
“Free market” just means “free to engage in corporate rent seeking”.
Indeed, particularly women in that industry are getting fucked.
don’t worry, there’s a lot of men that get fucked too

As opposed to other industries, where everybody gets their fair share /s

Expect porn doesn’t require any education.

The only ethical form of pornography is furry porn but y’all ain’t ready for that conversation
Also not one of those people who comment on porn.
funny comments on pornhub are best tho :D
As opposed to not so funny and now deleted messages on Nude Africa?
What?
‘I’m a black NAZI!’: NC GOP nominee for governor made dozens of disturbing comments on porn forum

Mark Robinson, the controversial and socially conservative Republican nominee for governor of North Carolina, made a series of inflammatory comments on a pornography website’s message board more than a decade ago, in which he referred to himself as a “black NAZI!” and expressed support for reinstating slavery, a CNN KFile investigation found.

That’ll stay blue, thank you
“The less you know, the more you sleep.” - Russian proverb
It’s just a news link about a politician who said some terrible shit on porn sites.
Oh, I saw this one! The website used Comic Sans MS or something like that, and that’s how I found it out!
You do you but I’m thankful that I have spare money to spend on supporting good porn
you mean tasteful art

If by tasteful you mean furry vore…

Then yeah, tasteful.

Hey, we’re not here to kink shame.
But what if that’s the fetish?
Then it’s disgusting
Just a reminder folks, people say the same thing about tomatoes. Then will go and drink a bottle of ketchup.
But it’s not impolite to kink ask why.
Art so good it’s orgasmic
It’s not art unless it provoke something inside you. And outside you. And clean that shit up.
ah yes my fellow furry

I just pirate that porn, heck many of them charge for their OF while they post the same shit that’s on their insta and when they do release something worthwhile you gotta dunk another 50 to get it.

While already spending 8 bucks a month just to see a mirror of their instagram.

Just sell the damn video for 58 bucks and leave out the bullshit part of the deal. They’re just playing into addiction related habits to get you to spend more.

I had a very interesting interaction with an OF model. I made an account years ago to support a friend who was starting out there. I logged in a few days ago to see another model that had advertised on a different platform.

I get a notification of a message and it’s one of the models where they have a free OF but everything is PPV.

I figured it was a bot and just ignored it but then got another notification. I figured I could just reply and say hi.

The model in question is a porn star (i.e. has videos on major production companies) but also has an OF. I subscribed because she’s totally my type.

Anyway I’m having this back and forth with her and I’m wondering “this isn’t a bot but…is it really her?”

And I got the sense that these professional models hire people to chat with people on their OF. That’s nuts! I get that porn sells a fantasy. That’s a given but I didn’t expect that they would hire people to pretend to be them.

Drag queen Amanda Tori Meating has gone on the record about her day job as an OnlyFans ghostwriter. There’s an entire industry of talent agencies that hire minimum wage gig workers to pretend to be the model you are paying $x per month to interact with.
there’s a massive industry of hiring people to pretend to be models, because there’s huge money in personal experiences / personally tailored experiences. I listened to a podcast where they interviewed someone from the Phillipines who worked in the equivalent of a call center that was made up of people sexting in OF dms. A lot of people wouldn’t pay for like pornhub premium or something like that, but would pay for “custom” content and “real” attention from their favorite performer

That was the key to know it wasn’t really the model. She was trying to sell me on buying a photo set. I asked her if they were exclusive to me, to which she replied yes.

Then I asked her to do a custom pose (nothing scandalous; wanted to see how exclusive this was) and she said she couldn’t do that.

At that point I said to her thanks but no thanks

This was an interesting read for me the other day, pretty much exactly what you’re describing: wired.com/…/i-went-undercover-secret-onlyfans-cha…
I Went Undercover as a Secret OnlyFans Chatter. It Wasn’t Pretty

Your online influencer girlfriend is actually a rotating cast of low-wage workers. I became one of them.

WIRED

I didn’t expect that they would hire people to pretend to be them.

Why wouldn’t they? Think about trying to respond to all of those people, every day, on top of doing everything else you need to do.

As I am learning it makes sense but here’s how I think about it.

I’m very supportive of sex work. But I don’t want to be tricked or misled.

If you’re offering “exclusive” pictures that are taken just for me, I would expect that you don’t sell them to anyone else. At that point, I’m contracting you for a specific job and paying for the product.

The crazy ones I’ve heard about are women looking for sugar daddies on dating websites. They set up profiles like any woman would but as you strike up a conversation, you find out that they just want someone to pay their bills.

So if an OF model is chatting with her fans, you go girl and do your thing. But don’t make me think that I’m talking to you when really it’s some low-wage employee in the Philippines who’s gonna get fired because their upsale didn’t work on me.

If you’re offering “exclusive” pictures that are taken just for me, I would expect that you don’t sell them to anyone else.

Nah. Work smarter, not harder

Unfortunately because of the stigma and the defacto ostracization from certain aspects of society, not the least of which is financial, people in these industries are usually really callous when it comes to extracting money out of the clients. Not to mention the fact that most of society doesn’t need porn or doesn’t need it enough to consider paying for it.

I suppose it’s tit-for-tat. The client objectifies them as a sex object, they objectify the client as a cash cow. But now I’m just describing most capitalist exchanges.

I had a similar experience but then I got a little uncomfortable because she started sending me weird cryptic messages

Stuff like “The operation failed with an error. [429] You have reached your OpenAI API limit. Please check your plan and billing details”

Poor server-side error handling is a big turnoff for me, unsubbed.
Go on /r/forhire on reddit, there are a bunch of jobs for OF chatters, mostly in the Phillipines
Do cam girls count? Because that’s how I donated to to the Ukraine war effort.
Modern warfare comes with various innovations I see.
Modern whorefare
Booo, the only whore is my right hand and all the crazy orifices it finds itself in.
Quick question, is this a tax deductible donation? The IRS won’t answer my emails on this
IRS are useless, just ask what ever model you are frequenting. They will direct to the appropriate paperwork.
Don’t know about donations through porn but a friend of mine used to be a whore. She misses tax deductible underwear.
Is that how she described herself, versus “sex worker“?

Yeah.

I mean, sex worker is ok. It’s just a more general description.

That’s pretty horrible…

I remember reading something ages ago that camsites are actually huge contributors to Russia, with many of the girls there being Russians pretending to be Ukrainian.
