People who understand that sex workers need to eat?

They aren't selling tiddies. They're selling limited access to a parasocial relationship.

Free porn is watching other people fetishes. Only fans is getting it fresh from the source personalized for you.

[–] trolololol@lemmy.world 16 points 3 days ago (2 children)

What do you mean personalised? Do people pay while making specific requests? Hard to believe given how much the biggest stars are getting paid.

[–] einlander@lemmy.world 22 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Smaller stars have a small enough reach that they can cater to their smaller audience. Some more popular stars have tiers where if you pay enough they have 1:1 sessions with you and interact with you. I mean where on earth will you find someone to enact your fetish of pissing on a BiG O MegaDeaus covered in peanut butter in a dominant position wearing a purple strap on? /S

If I give you another $75 will you start monologuing about tomatoes? Double if you'll do it while dressed as a giant tomato.

Oh my, yes.

[–] lime@feddit.nu 13 points 3 days ago (1 children)

unless you're swedish, where it's illegal to make requests on of.

[–] ZoteTheMighty@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That sounds like the most unenforceable law in the history of laws.

[–] lime@feddit.nu 3 points 2 days ago

it's gonna start counting as prostitution, which is legal to practice but illegal to buy. of only counts when it's personalised, apparently. i have no idea how they think they're gonna do it.

[–] Foni@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Are you aware of the amount of free porn on the internet? No matter how weird the weirdest thing you can imagine, there's at least one website dedicated to it.

[–] einlander@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

And how do you think that free stuff is made? They aren't doing it for free. Bang bros does have a paid for service. Many OF actors give free videos for "exposure"

[–] Vespair@lemmy.zip 22 points 3 days ago (2 children)

OnlyFans is the farm-to-table restaurant of ethical porn consumption, imo.

[–] sober_monk@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago

Love me some cruelty free, fair trade, free range porn.

I’m at my happiest when I’m making a video like putting a strawberry in my butt and pushing it out

Find a job you love and you'll never work a day in your life

[–] Vespair@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

First time hearing about it, but it sounds cool.

[–] 9bananas@feddit.org 4 points 2 days ago

First time hearing about it

not surprising, given the incredibly stupid name...

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 33 points 3 days ago

Same reason strip clubs exist - some people need the social aspect. They want someone to pretend to be into them, rather than just get off.

The poor alloromantic bastards.

[–] Nalivai@lemmy.world 13 points 3 days ago

Not OF, but I am subscribed to an independent local porn company. They're ethical, they are authentic, they creative. I want them to thrive, I want more of those in the world

[–] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 12 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yeah I never understood that one either. It’s shocking to me that enough people are willing to not just pay for porn, but pay directly for porn from one individual source that its become a viable and massive industry. Part of me thinks the numbers that these only fans stars claim MUST be inflated and they have money from family or something. But I’m basing that on vibes and nothing else so who knows.

[–] zout@fedia.io 28 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I'd guess it's more that on onlyfans you can convince yourself that you're getting personal attention from the artist. It's a combination of creepiness with maybe a bit of loneliness.

On April 1, 2021, six days after her eighteenth birthday, Bregoli opened an OnlyFans account, earning over $1 million in revenue in the first six hours, including over $757,000 from subscriptions, $267,000 from message payments, and $5,000 in tips. She later demonstrated evidence of earnings of more than $50 million, which was initially met with skepticism. By September 2024, Bhad Bhabie earned $1,489,374 per month on OnlyFans and remained the highest paid creator on the platform, however by September 2025 she had fallen to 4th highest paid creator, earning upwards of $1.3 million a month.

[–] N0t_5ure@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yes, it's a parasocial relationship. Basically, the consumers of this content are sort of getting a subscription girlfriend experience, which I guess is very appealing to men that lack the ability to attract women in the real world. It's kind of like men who go to strip clubs.

[–] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 7 points 3 days ago

Yeah when you put it that way it makes sense. I’ve never been a strip club guy myself so I guess I just don’t get it.

[–] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 5 points 3 days ago

That’s fucked up for so many reasons.

[–] Fleur_@aussie.zone 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Coomers who are deluded into thinking it's the ethical way to consume porn as if onlyfans and others like it haven't been targeting and exploiting young women who feel they have no other option.

[–] Vespair@lemmy.zip 21 points 2 days ago (2 children)

It's a job, dude. Same as any other. The vast majority of us are going to have to sell our bodies as labor in some way to survive. Choosing to make your money from OnlyFans is no more nefarious than making your money from McDonalds.

[–] Garbagio@lemmy.zip 9 points 2 days ago

Nah McDonald's is worse. Lube washes off; fry smell, not so much.

[–] Fleur_@aussie.zone 2 points 2 days ago

The pornstars aren't the problem it's onlyfans that is the problems.

[–] PlutoniumAcid@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Just this evening had a coworker make fun of himself, he spent 279 bucks on a lifetime subscription to youporn.

We were all like, why would you even?

[–] dogs0n@sh.itjust.works 10 points 3 days ago

Because he's watched all the free videos ;(

[–] wowwoweowza@lemmy.world -3 points 3 days ago

Dumbest shit ever.
