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.

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).

Sounds like anon could had made her day by just talking to her

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?

Anon experiences empathy for once in their miserable life.
One of the few legit greentexts. lol

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.

Some girls aren't in it for the money or fame, they just like posting nudes

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.~~

Yeah my husband seems to think onlyfans is easy money, like I could just post a nude and money would come rolling in magically, talks about how much big earners are making on YouTube too, but hustling like that is so much harder than having a job, you have to be organized and ambitious and then for every one person making thousands, there are many thousands of people making pennies.

It's so much easier to just have a job.

Imagine equating selling of ones dignity to selling ones pics.

Top Victorian mind, after the morphine clears.

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.

This is a topic for a community like laststagecapitalism or similar.

I 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

...this kind of hurt my heart.

Ah, another classic case of the wild goonette lost in cyberspace which has yet to be found. In due time.

Misogyny is very popular on Lemmy. Racism usually too as long as it's coded.

the incel mind cannot fathom a woman doing a thing for her own enjoyment
