Very thankful - Lemmy.World

You do you but I’m thankful that I have spare money to spend on supporting good porn

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.

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
