This article reads like PR for its subject, to be honest, and I've never heard of the site that it's from. Is The Hustle at all reliable?

  It kind of is PR, but you can still take some useful information from it. It does seem pretty plausible that a "gold rush" on Onlyfans-type content is in full swing, and if you want to make more than pocket change and are not already famous, you're going to need some marketing hustle.

  My immediate take was "you know the gold rush is over when shovel consultants start pushing ads your way." "The Hustle" sounds like a shovel consultant.

  They were recently (last year?) acquired by HubSpot. I'm not that familiar with their recent content but I am a fan of their team and the HustleCon youtube vids. Their founder has a podcast that is good fuel for anyone that likes to chat about startups, business, VCs, crypto, etc. The cohost had a startup that was acquired by Twitch. They're pretty entertaining together and the content is consistently good. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/my-first-million/id1469759170 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/my-first-million/id146...

  The Hustle is a pretty common site shared on HN. I would say its mostly focused on 5 minute reads that give a slightly-deeper-than-google overview of a topical subject. They have had some good pieces in the past but are definitely in the quick morning read category.
