        Eh, I’m gonna play the devil’s advocate here but when I thought about it, I’d say it’s more like a human nature or common sense. I can imagine a person who feels excited by posting spicy pictures online in 2011 and then realizing “You mean people are willing to pay for this shit?”

          willing to pay for this

          Capitalism. You shouldn’t strive to profit off doing things you enjoy. The profit motive IS the problem.

            Sounds like a win-win to me

              Only if you’re lucky. I loved programming. Used to do it all the time. Got a job doing it, and it’s just exhausting now. So much gets caught up in the process: money to survive, meeting other people’s deadlines and goals, etc. It kills the enjoyment.

    Yeah, I’m echoing the sentiment.

    I ain’t mad at anyone making money as best they can in the system we’re stuck in.

    But it shouldn’t be everywhere. Some communities/subs are about people just sharing that they feel like, no ulterior motives at all. If that’s not what you’re doing, you shouldn’t be there

    I’ve been a member on a website that’s quite well known in my country for over 15 years. It’s like adult Facebook where people post nudes and it’s all free.

    Recently however people have more and more started using it for advertising their OF and what I find funny/interesting is how I can tell most of these profiles simply by looking at their pictures as they always have this certain “onlyfans look” to them.

    I’ve never used OF myself but the feeling I get from these profiles is that it’s way too obvious that they’re doing it for the money. There’s a completely different vibe to someone’s profile who just wants to show off because it’s exciting to them.

          It’s a reference to a specific Internet connected adult toy called a lush3. Cam Girls and only fans people connect them to their chats so the fans can control how much it vibrates. Since it’s Wi-Fi connected it has a tail that sticks out to improve the connection.

            To add to that, most of the time cam girls don’t even turn the thing on, and do an incredibly over exaggerated reaction to the sound the chat makes when someone gives a tip, and videos of this get posted unironically to any nsfw forum/board/sub/community, as if it is high quality enjoyable content.

    90% are sex workers but you’re right. Mods should ban any account that has external links meant to sell something. Gonewild was about having fun and now it went to shit like reddit.

    Edit: Same thing for amateur communities. I report them as spam, it’s annoying.
