> Nearly every creator is making little and are forced to make more and more extreme content to compete. > A huge segment of "creators" are still working for online "networks" aka pimps who force them to share their earnings under threat of abuse. Can you link some sources for these?

guess they're referring to Andrew Tate and his network, the prosecutors allege that they were behind at least six women, controlling them (including violence) and taking half of their OF income [1]. They themselves claim they have 75 women netting them 600k a month on OF alone, so assuming the prosecutor's claims of them taking 50% hold up it's like 1.2 million a month. I'm torn a bit here as I happen to know people actually active on their own on OF, but it's on the other side not much of a stretch to assume that the Tate brothers are the only abusive pimps in the game. 600k a month is a ton of money, for a very low effort and low-risk (as long as you don't brag that you bought off police forces) operation.

      That's not surprising.

        You broke the site guidelines repeatedly in this thread. That's not cool. We have to ban accounts that post this way. I'm not going to ban you this time because you've also posted good things and I didn't see a pattern of it in your account history. But please don't do it again. If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.
