Everything is just a grift now so not surprising
post
Call me old fashioned but I really miss being a hoe (respectfully) for the sake of it. Then again I hate transactional relationships so OF and the like is a total mood killer.
On the other hand sex work is work so by all means get what you need to get by / thrive.
By all means, we have nsfw lemmy and gonewild without OF ads. Knock yourself out.
90% are sex workers but you're right. Mods should ban any account that has external links meant to sell something. Gonewild was about having fun and now it went to shit like reddit.
Edit: Same thing for amateur communities. I report them as spam, it's annoying.
There is amateur content on lemmy? :-)
I've been a member on a website that's quite well known in my country for over 15 years. It's like adult Facebook where people post nudes and it's all free.
Recently however people have more and more started using it for advertising their OF and what I find funny/interesting is how I can tell most of these profiles simply by looking at their pictures as they always have this certain "onlyfans look" to them.
I've never used OF myself but the feeling I get from these profiles is that it's way too obvious that they're doing it for the money. There's a completely different vibe to someone's profile who just wants to show off because it's exciting to them.
If there's a pink stick coming out, its 100% onlyfans.
That fucking pink stick has ruined so many otherwise good videos.
For me, the first telltale sign is showing face. The second is the colorful background.
Enshittification has ruined everything.
EnshittificationCapitalism has ruined everything.
FTFY
Yeah, I'm echoing the sentiment.
I ain't mad at anyone making money as best they can in the system we're stuck in.
But it shouldn't be everywhere. Some communities/subs are about people just sharing that they feel like, no ulterior motives at all. If that's not what you're doing, you shouldn't be there
it's supply/demand. there's much more cameras and people online than 10-20 years ago, so the supply is plenty. people paying for this content is much more mysterious to me. why would I ever do that?!
There's a reason the original reddit community banned sales pitches, and took themselves off /r/all.
Completely agree! The entire adult content platform has become nothing more than a monetization machine for platforms like OnlyFans. GoneWild was once about people expressing themselves and sharing their art without the pressure of making a quick buck. Now it's all about selling subscriptions and getting clicks. The whole industry has been ruined by commercial interests prioritizing profit over passion and community. Same thing with Patreon, where creators are expected to churn out content just to keep their fans engaged rather than doing what they actually love. And don't even get me started on the algorithm-driven news feeds that suck the soul out of social media. Commercialization has absolutely destroyed the integrity and creativity of online platforms. We're losing the very things that made them worth using in the first place.
People making content for NSFW subreddits makes sense to me now that there's good money to be made.
I didn't really understand the motivation before when so many people made regular content for internet strangers for nothing. Especially when so many of the comments are so sleazy and rapey.
It wasn't for nothing. It was to get off on it. Which made it more attractive than those doing it for money.
Exhibitionism. It's hot and fun when people get to see you be sexual
If you don't understand it, then that probably just means you're not into exhibitionism, but many people (including myself) are
I'm one of the people still posting quite high cuality content of myself online for completely free (I'm a guy) I do it because I'm exhibitionist. I like being seen in minimal clothing in public as well, this is just a variation of that.
now it's just flashing genatils not even a face is attached to the body
It was always that, partially because people didn't want their livelihood affected by having nudes on the Internet. With the rise of an option where having nudes on the Internet can be their livelihood, there's more faces in those pictures.
The better option would be for people to feel free to express themselves this way without worrying about their livelihood.
As someone who likes sex and to some degree exhibitionism:
Any amount of sex liking/photos of yourself online will bar you from certain jobs. I have a rather traumatic history of sex work - even the fact that I did it to survive is something that tars me. Doing things consensually and willingly is even worse.
The trade off for some is going to be financial. If having videos of yourself online could potentially ruin any change of a normal life - there needs to be something that secures some safety in return.
Being promiscuous is considered a character flaw. If you are frequently willing - the times where you are not have zero chance of being tried fairly in the court of public opinion.
The Madonna/whore complex fucks everyone over. Having lots of sex is fun, we’ve just come up with this dickish social rule system where enjoying receptive sex is a strongly ingrained societal “no no.”
Fish gotta swim, birds gotta eat
The worst part about browsing GW back then was how hard it was to get the onion off your belt.
But those were the days...
