- sybercecurity 9mo agoIt seems the question has been answered in the headline.
- pingou 9mo agoIs OnlyFans spending also correlated with lower education (when adjusting for income)?
- Bender 9mo ago[flagged]
- newsclues 9mo agoPlenty of low education jobs that are hard work and dirty or dangerous, pay really well. Garbage collection, construction and oil rigging pay well, lots of people can’t or won’t do these jobs.
- Bender 9mo agoPlenty of low education jobs that are hard work and dirty or dangerous, pay really well. Garbage collection, construction and oil rigging pay well, lots of people can’t or won’t do these jobs. I agree entirely. I wanted to see if HN would say something nice about such people instead of being smug academics. You are proof there is at least one good and decent person here.
- ducktastic 9mo agoI am not a consumer of adult content though I used to be. I firmly believe adult content will be outlawed in the near future
- yakikka 9mo agoOutlawed by who, where? There are always places that will outlaw things but it now serves a lot of them to use it as an excuse to ID Internet users.
- pixl97 9mo agoThe people that are doing it to monitor the internet do have a schism with their voter base. The groups that get Republicans in primaries tend to be heavily conservative/Christian, then they get voted in because they have an R next to their name. The voters may not even agree with most of the things said politician says, but it has turned into a performative act by that point. And that's how you get porn users to ban porn. Much like get got farmers to vote against their best interests.
- amanaplanacanal 9mo agoFarmers voted for more farm welfare.
- RealityVoid 9mo agoGasp! But... That would be communism. I thought that is unacceptable.
- pixl97 9mo agoAnd received massive losses due to changes in trade.
- dzonga 9mo agothey've already started banning it e.g via ID laws same as gambling. these things are like swings - go back & forth throughout history. what's interesting me to me is how quickly the mood went from a very liberal approach to things to very conservative within 20 years
- mrlonglong 9mo agoRich, bored and perverted.
- Ylpertnodi 9mo agoAh, rich, bored, and not your jam.
- TRiG_Ireland 9mo agoOnlyFans isn't just about erotic content. Porn is available elsewhere, cheaper. The platform really is designed to push parasocial relationships. I think it's probably less healthy (for the consumer) than normal porn. (Possibly less healthy for the performer, too, but it's hard to balance that against the problems performers often have in exploitative studios.)
- chickenimprint 9mo agoMessages to clients are presumably handled by the agency, not the performer.
- TRiG_Ireland 9mo agoThe vast majority of performers on OnlyFans don't have an agency, do they?
