I think we should look at what could happen to creators content in the future. Everything you put online eventually gets exposed (pun intended). For all the hundreds of thousands of amateur creators that started in the last year…. You’re about to get a rude awakening. Add a sketchy owner to the mix…..

Or enough of them do such that nobody cares #beyourauthenticself

  I don't think anyone really cares. Do you? I don't. If I'm hiring I don't care if someone put nudes online. Most employers probably don't either -- except for early age schools and probably religious institutions. But paradoxically, the content creators themselves are the ones who care later on. Witness the deluge of old pron stars who wish their content was not there. The thing about humans is that we constantly reinvent ourselves. And as a result, we always want to erase a thing or two in our past that we regret doing or are embarrassed about.

    It's the same distribution as, say, tattoo'd people that care about their old tattoos later on. Some do, some don't. Its not always.

  I'm not sure anyone's "authentic self" is taking nudes for cash. It seems more like a job that people take because it pays well. Or it pays anything, because some of those people make very little money. I also don't think that the actual incidence of people doing it matters as much as you think for social acceptance.

    Some are passionate about their work, some aren't. Same as any other job.

I love this "creators content" euphemism that equates onlyfans models with musicians, writers, philosophers and art creators.

  Isn't an embarrassingly large fraction of classical art just nude women?

    Michelangelo would be indeed embarrassed if he knew his Venus is called "just a nude woman."

      He'd say with a smile that it's instead a representation of a good Catholic with the body God gave her. He knew, he did it on purpose, his clients wanted it that way, and the church approved and asked for more, probably because they knew and wanted it that way too ;)

    It was designed on purpose to be puritan-compatible pornography indeed. This is not a secret in Europe, where we fight tooth and nails to let wikipedia show pictures of vagina because it's high art. There is nothing embarrassing about it, it's done with a wry smile.

  It's worse than that. They're calling their OF (and Instagram) account a "business" and their title is "CEO." So ... "I'm CEO of my own business." And after they want out of the "business", they invariably blame society for any criticism. Youtube has recent interviews/rants with Mia K. and Lana R. on that. (Thanks, YT algorithm.) FYI: Anyway, back in the day, I knew a local celebrity model. I asked her how she handled fame, and she said she appreciates if men say "Hello" to her if they run into each other on the street and she's recognized, to make her more comfortable for her personal safety. Otherwise she got a weird vibe since she knew that he knew who she was, but wasn't acknowledging that, especially if she recognized his face from before. She also said she could handle men hitting on her, but "it got to be too much" when women were also doing that. :)
