This makes me wonder: how much demand would there be for the exact same service that wasn't deceptive? As in, a porn site that freely acknowledged that the women you're talking to are not individually reading and replying to each of your messages. It may sound dumb, but think of it as engaging with a TV show or movie character. There may be different people behind it, but they're all playing the same character. And that character is hot, often naked, and attracted to you.
You could even restrict the scale a little, by promising and contractually requiring the "model" to read all of your (mostly inane) chat messages, and perhaps personally reply to some minimal number. Or maybe that's a higher cost tier.
Of course people wouldn't spend as much as they do on OF. But would it have enough value to people? It's more than what I assume regular porn sites provide.
More interestingly: is it ethical? Obviously, it's moreso than OF. But taking advantage of people's base impulses always feels creepy to me. I even have misgivings about coffee shops, not to mention liquor stores. Feeding addiction is not kind, even when the consumer is wholly willing.

- noobermin 2y agoThere was a This American Life article about something like this, a ghost writer who wrote for fans of a supermodel who then became friends with the model's fans, who knew what he (the ghost writer) was doing. Unfortunately, I can't find the article now.
