Good for her! I'm sure it's not easy to achieve that kind of success on OnlyFans, so clearly she made some smart moves to get where she is.

    I guess it depends on how easy you can be discovered. It's easy to take off your clothes and get people to pay you to do it, but if you're in a sea of 1000s of women doing the same thing are you seen?

    Same thing with being a YouTuber. Anyone can create a channel. It's hard to make that channel worth something.

    I'm sure "working hard" is way more important than being attractive on a platform where people pay to watch attractive women naked. Oh, wait...

    Being successful anywhere requires hard work. You can be born into money, but you’ll have to work a lot to be a success yourself, not just a nobody with a lot of money coming from those that were successful. You can be born attractive (and that’s subjective anyway, people have a lot of different tastes and kinks) and without hard work, it’ll not be worth anything.

    No idea why you are being so patronizing and dismissive. Either you are bitter and lashing out, or you need a little bit more perspective and general empathy, as in capability to see the world not only from your personal point of view, and the capability to process that, too.

    This reads like a typical white knight comment one might find on reddit. Lemmy is getting more and more disappointing every day.

    If you really believe that a person that makes 1M on OF "deserves" that money and did "hard work" then I don't really think there's anything we can discuss.

    Someone sounds a little jelly. Seriously though, there are all kinds of people making way more money than that without doing a damn thing to justify a penny of it. The Internet allows niche means of making money simply because you can "sell" your products to thousands or even millions of people--in this case directly from the comfort of her home. There are plenty of other schemes out there that can be similarly lucrative if you're good at what they want you to do.

    Clearly this woman is quite smart to be in that field in the first place, why wouldn't she take the more lucrative route? Wouldn't you?

    Not jealous at all, just disappointed I guess. I just can't congratulate a person that had the skill/luck/whatever to get 1M with a minimum effort and they then decide to drop out of a job that could actually contribute something to society to do the banal and functionally useless job full time. It's incredibly wasteful.

    Also no, I wouldn't go for the "lucrative" route if I already have more than enough money.

    Finally, I have several friends that are phd students and you don't have to be super smart to do that. You do need dedication though. But the same can be said for quite a few lines of work.
