“We had a really close relationship,” he told Reuters. “I trusted her.” He even tattooed her birthdate over his heart – “at least what I believe is her birthdate.”
I’m having a hard time forming an opinion on this. Yeah I guess he kinda got scammed, and it’s definitely exploiting lonely people, but also… trying to establish a relationship with a porn star? Getting a tattoo of her birthday?
Guy has an insanely serious lack of self control. Like a degenerate gambler.
- knallfrosch 2y ago> Like a gambler. Exactly. Most countries try to protect their citizens from stuff like the most harmful of drugs, gambling and fraud. Should be easy to find out what's right. OnlyFans gets multiple billions of revenue, which only represent 20%. So customers on OF, a single platform, easily spend tens of billions.
- alx_the_new_guy 2y ago>exploiting lonely people >lack of self control Not quite "been there, done that", but anecdotally being lonely/alone accelerates and reinforces any "mental illness"-ish behavior. "Eating your own dogfood" type of thing, but in a bad way - it's a positive feedback loop, probably with combination of feeling guilt, inferior, being ashamed, not wanting to admit you messed up, and so on. What I'm saying is - could be you, or me, or anyone else really. If the psyop is good enough and there isn't an external support structure to provide a "reality check", it's actually fairly easy to fall into this rabbit hole.
- Xen9 2y agoEconomically it'd still be fraud, however not very usual one because the men who buy that will keep buying regardless of what is done. Don't regulate: get Fraud industry + OnlyFans Regulate: only get OnlyFans.
