Imagine being appreciated, complimented on your work, and paid appropriately.
Edit: Oh it's about teens? Ok that's not good.
But for adults, I for sure understand the appeal of this kind of work.

I did once consider making an onlyfans account for math tutorials.
"Come watch my new video on non-euclidean planes, you won't believe the angles we can manage!"
"Tonight I take it deeper than ever before and explore the depths of Heyting Arithmetic."
Filth.
Most people making only fans content barely make any money if they make anything at all. Reality will hit those kids hard if they go into adulthood thinking it's a viable alternative to a traditional job. I used to know a woman that made only fans content and she worked a full time job as well. The market is already saturated.
Yeah, my partner was in the top 0.5% of OF models for a while and the payout was maybe $150 every three months. The wild and vast majority of people will never make any money from it, given the $100 minimum before you get paid. I don't think people understand just how rare it is to make money from the platform.
Your wife would have probably been better off camgirl-ing at that point.
Disclaimer: no twelve year old or any underage minor, under any circumstances, should be considering any of this as a viable alternative to traditional white or blue collar labor.
Really!? In the top 0.5%!? Was this in the early days or are they really just not paying anybody?
This was relatively recently.
Tempering that number slightly is just -how many people- are on the platform, 1 in 200 getting paid out isn't as unreasonable when every fifth person on the planet (seemingly...) has an account. It's all luck based, and most people unfortunately just don't make any sales because they weren't the lucky one chosen by the Horny Zeitgeist that round.
... And that minor bootlicking out of the way (don't kinkshame me) yeah they stand out as being predatory even in an industry renowned for exploitative practices. It's pretty fucking awful.
“What if we combined the hellishness of the porn industry, with the hellishness of gig work?”
Yeah, it's pretty well advertised that most of the money is made by a small handful of people at the top, and the vast majority make next to nothing.
So it's like the rest of the economy?
Hmm, sounds vaguely familiar 🤔 maybe they should give all creators a minimum pay out...

This is beginning increasingly true for all jobs.

They're twelve, when I was twelve I wanted to be an astronaut. "Twelve year olds don't fully understand the economy" isn't some new thing.
And they saw old school tape porn as a viable option when I was a kid. Kids don’t have a full picture and they think about sex a lot.
Exactly. "Kids say they consider work avenue that might sound exciting." When people say they can make shit tons of money, and they don't realize how much work it would take, it would always sound appealing.
It's not surprising to me at all. I occasionally have to use TikTok for work (ugh), and some of the hashtags I have to check on are also used by children, so young kids will often pop up in my work feed. Usually it's just something benign like a dancing video, but I've stumbled on some where these kids, who aren't even out of high school, talking about how they're going to "drop the link" the day they turn 18, which for some of these kids isn't for another five damn years. It's disturbing how open children are about entering this line of work. And it doesn't help that they constantly have adults creeping around in kids' thirst trap videos, validating these thoughts in their comments.
I don't like where this is headed.
Christ...what a insane world we live in...like that's...just...wow..
Well it's more appealing because you can get more money from it by selling feet pictures, compared to someone who worked at traditional work and already PhD that always struggle live paycheck to paycheck.
If you want kids think traditional works are better, you need to raise minimum wage first so it appealed to kids
The key word here is "can", not "will". By far most models on onlyfans don't make shit.
Many admitted to accessing this content despite OnlyFans’ age restrictions, describing various workarounds to bypass verification systems.
So this is why the UK is ruining free speech.
companies must strengthen policies to prevent the promotion of sexualized content to minors. This could include better age verification tools, restrictions on algorithm-driven exposure to adult content, and increased transparency about how platforms target young users.
We need to demand transparency on how everyone is targeted. In fact; we need to end the surveillance economy all together. Make social media unprofitable.

THIS!
Alluring until you figure out that there is heavy competition.
Also; surely Image generators can make feet pictures at this point. Customers can even specify how many toes they want.
Not a foot guy, but I imagine just knowing it's a real person adds something. Especially since image generators are horrible at making two separate pictures look like they're from the same person. Someday, they'll probably get good enough that it won't be an issue, but not yet.

they're actually getting good at this, however, since most of the stuff is lazily made from generic corporate LLMs instead of a custom local one using loras trained on specific image sets.
I'd do it in a second if I thought I could bring in 200k a year. Not a second thought.
Same, how many abs need to be visible before someone wants to pay to see my penis? Is there a calculator or something online?

Shit. Well, I'm less-than-10 away.
They always said the future of US employment was the service economy.
This is one thing I think about with AI and technological progress. Optimists say that technological advancement could free people up for more creative work, fund UBI, etc.
I think that without a serious overhaul of the legal and societal frameworks of Western countries, jobs that only people can do well or are too costly to automate could become the only way to earn a living for most people.
Like sex work, for instance. The poor underclass would expand, the wealth gap would widen and labor exploitation would become much worse. Voíla, suddenly children seeing prostitution as an aspirational career becomes more common because that may be an increasingly likely eventuality.
My girlfriend keeps telling me i could make a fortune off my feet. If I ever meet someone with an actual feet fetish i will make sure to get them rated.
Once I did an Amazon mechanical Turk thing where they were paying $1 for pictures of feet. For a “study” of course. My feet were rejected 🙃
