It is a rule of thumb in businesses that 80% fail within 5 years. It is the same with anything who are looking for fame and success; only 20% succeed. And even within those 20%, only like 10% are considered in the A-list.

Anyhow, I am curious why this girl felt the need to expose herself. Is it for money? Does she feel insecure and needs validation? Or both?

...this kind of hurt my heart.

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.

And more lucrative on average.

I know that girl's pain. I, too, want to be a massive whore but nobody wants me. 😔

[–] [email protected] 5 points 16 hours ago

You can be my whore.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Don't be the whore the world wants, but the world deserves.

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.~~

I mean, they probably could, but what's available to them isn't exactly the cream of the crop either.

I imagine it's similar to the gay male experience - I could get a hookup any time of day easily, but the guys aren't relationship material.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago

Two sides of the fence reaching for the same cream. 😔

Imagine equating selling of ones dignity to selling ones pics.

Top Victorian mind, after the morphine clears.

The funny thing is that if this greentext linked this girl OnlyFans, she would gain tons of views just out of pity.

Some of these would even stick around afterwards.

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.

[–] [email protected] 75 points 1 day ago (5 children)

if you're a gooner

if you're not a creep

Good luck with that Venn diagram.

There's a whole ... sliver of us! I may not even be speaking of the royal "we"!

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago

Hence all the ifs. But hey, the competition isn't fierce! Put the slightest effort into being self-aware, respectful, and charming and you can easily get her attention.

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

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 day ago

And it wasn't the grinches heart that grew three sizes that day...

[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Right, but aren't those girls in it for the attention? The thrill? Sounds like she's not getting any attention, either.

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).

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.

[–] [email protected] 46 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah, she really should wait until OP's mom retires.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 16 hours ago

That might be a while.

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

[–] [email protected] 218 points 1 day ago (4 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 day ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 170 points 1 day ago (1 children)

on onlyfans, like most platforms, the vast majority of people make little to nothing

[–] [email protected] 80 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Managed my friends only fans for a bit, we got her account to top 4.5%. She brought in ~$1.5K on a good month. One time we got up to $2K. This is with her having done porn with a few big studios and having a decent amount of followers on Twitter. There is no Discovery feature or feed on OF, you have to direct them there through a direct link. Had to keep a consistent production schedule, deal with inquires from patrons. Successfully running and only fans is like running a business, people don't simply give you money.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Making money requires work

That comes as a surprise for many people
