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
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.
Yes, but most of sex work is a sales job
Yeah, you can see this for yourself if you have a VR headset and a couple of sites have VR cams set up.
Mostly they forget they exist (although I'm grateful for the ones that don't), so you get a kind of behind the scenes look at it all.
The one thing that strikes me is their demeanour the instant they're off the main cam. These girls are so fucking done with everything and everyone, and it's not surprising most of them quit after a month or two. Most of them are probably getting a fraction of the money tipped, with a good chunk going to the handlers (a lot of pretend typing going on, and they get directed by the person at the keyboard) and room rent (much of it seems to be in the same handful of buildings somewhere in St Petersburg). Many of them are on multiple sites at once, with phone apps on the go as well.
It's a real business.
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.
