If I was very desperate and my current job no longer sufficed, sure I'd hop on OnlyFans or FeetFinder and give it a go. The problem I have is more one of laziness. I like showing off my body, and spend a good amount of time cultivating parts like my ass and thighs to look attractive. The limiting factor is that I don't have anyone to hold a camera. It's a lot of fun to model, it's a lot less fun to setup a camera/mic, create a scene, and actually take 30-40 pictures/30 sec vid clips. If I had to do it for survival, I could, but I prefer just sending simple thirst traps to fwb.

Rules (interactive)

That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Boi ain't nobody paying for mine
I pay you to stay off!
/s
Yeah, I need something like an OnlyFoes where people pay to inflict my content on someone they didn't like.
I wouldn't even think twice.
I suppose there is some level of poverty I would consider becoming a sex worker for, but it would be an absolute last resort.
If you don't enjoy it as a hobby, you won't enjoy it as a business.
Do you enjoy taking nudes for fun? Go for it. If not, OF would be the worst "job" you've ever had, being just below roaming in train tracks looking for pennies.
Amazon hires anyone hiring.amazon.com
Most people don't enjoy their hobbies anymore when they turn it into a business.
Benefits
Health benefits, parental leave, paid time off, holiday overtime, employee discounts, and more.
It's insane that those things have to be listed in a so-called developed country (except employee discounts, that's an actual benefit)
I will do even for free, I just want someone who can setup everythign and I act as a model lol
I volunteer as tribute
Its not that much work, i managed my exs snap and tinder before onlyfans was a thing and got ridiculous amounts of money. It was quiet sad.
Sure, but I don’t have anything to offer.
Sure. Only problem is nobody would pay to see me naked.
I have a very liberated sexuality, girls, boys, sometimes among consenting strangers. OF could be a logical extension if I needed money.
However , two things stand in the way: first, I have a job that gives me social recognition and financial stability, and it wouldn't be compatible with the social stigma of sex work.
The other problem is all the work that goes into OF, like on YT channels ot Twitch: communicating on social networks, managing a community, editing, finding collaborations. I don't know how to do it and I don't think I'd like it.
Only the top percentage make good money. Doubt it will earn more than a minimum wage job unless you do some weird fetish.
The percentage seems to be padded out by inactive accounts or something, even the worst only fans profiles I've seen are showing 'top 1%' banners
Many of the inactive accounts will be people who signed up and started, but made no or too little money, so abandoned the idea. They're still worth counting when working out how likely a new person will be to make money. Other inactive accounts will be bots or catfish where there was never any intention to make money the way people expect the site to be used, so you can still discount a lot of them, but it's not all of them.
Selling yourself is not an easy job. If you can, then sure, go for it. But for each person making thousands there are thousands of people making pennies.
I have no problem with it, but it sounds like an exhausting way of making money.
Well the bigger question is, would you buy it? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Jokes aside... Not attractive enough. Even if I'm attractive, OF creators are quite competitive as it's kind of a "winner takes all" market. So probably not worth it... Besides, for conventionally attractive people shouldn't there be easier ways to make money off looks? For example landing a modeling gig that has a more steady pay or something like that
Honestly no. It doesn’t align with my values.
People underestimate how much work is involved with anything involving selling online content. This isn't just Only fans.
But if it's an hour of work to make $100, why wouldn't I?
There are people giving plasma for money.
There are people jacking off animals for money.
There are people who spend hours scamming old people for money.
Time is a investment though. Unfortunately $100 a hour is not the best use of my time. But maybe it is for you and your situation.
Curious what you do that 100/hr isn't a good use of time, because that sounds like something I'd like to learn about.
I'm a programmer and I make a pretty decent salary, enough to support my family and weather any emergencies.
The free time I have, I would do these in this order:
- Hang out with my wife and kids
- Chill out with recreational things like gaming
- Continue to study, read books and take online courses, contribute to open-source and build applications for startups
- Convert that free time to $100/hr
Notice that trying to make MORE money is at the bottom for me.
And if you ARE money driven, working hourly isn't how most people became rich. They usually win the lottery by doing a hobby that ended up paying dividends. Like building a app and getting bought out, or collecting Pokemon cards or something.
Fair response. I had assumed for many people 100/hr would replace their primary job and thus be worth the trade. If were talking measure time after your primary job, I certainly understand valuing that time even higher than your hourly rate at said job.

As a cornfed brick-shithouse built Midwestern hairy dude in my late-30s, I'd do it right now if there were a market for chubby hairy dudes but I know better and I'd rather not embarrass myself.
The fact that it's a niche interest means that people will pay more for it... And trust me... People LOVEE late 30s chubby hairy dudes
There's a kink for everything. It may not be a large base, but I'll bet it's there.
If I knew I was going to make some money? Sure. But I hear it's super difficult since so many people do the same. But if you think you have a gimmick, or are super attractive, you could make a but of change.
You really need to put in a lot of effort to market yourself. Being attractive helps, but it's not all.
That's a good point. It's not like we're lacking attractive people on the internet.
As someone who has never paid for porn, I'm always surprised when I know someone that does. I always thought this was a boomer thing. There's so many free only fans samples on twitter.
I feel the same way. I was really surprised that OnlyFans took off the way it did, when it did. There's so much out there, I didn't think there would be a market.
I think it’s the Parasocial relationship thing. They chat with their fans, or pay people to chat with their fans pretending it’s them.
No and not for the reason you'd expect:
To open an account, OnlyFans requires you to do social media and prove that your social media accounts are yours, and of course they require you to hand over your real identity with your real ID card or passport and a selfie.
This is beyond dystopian. You have to be suicidal from a privacy standpoint to do OnlyFans.
This guy raging that a media/porn publishing company verifies it's models 🤣
I mean in the history of porn nobody, and I mean nobody has ever been abused.
