The titties moved online to Reddit. Lol

Bootleg titties depriving boot strapped titties from their rightful income, shame!

u/Gorthax 5d ago

I like the ones that don't think they can make it on OF.

It's a more organic experience, if you will.

u/No-Count-5311 5d ago

Organically sourced

u/TheKappaOverlord 5d ago

the titties moving to reddit is for the sake of funneling traffic back to their onlyfans/fansly.

I have not seen a pair of titties (on reddit) that weren't attached (either subtly, or obviously) to an onlyfans/fansly/onlyfans clone in many a year.

Even the AI titties have OF pages and chat bots 😂

Man remember even just like 6-8 years ago when everyone was absolutely wild on here just for the love of the game. OF killed one of the purest parts of this platform

Can confirm. In the before days there were more people posting just for fun

Sounds like you’ve done research.

u/MayorMcCheezz 5d ago

Plz the titties just come to Reddit to advertise their OF.

u/Sunny1-5 5d ago

And Insta.

Seriously guys, please stop paying money to see virtual images of women. We have collectively created a monster. One that won’t give a man the time of day unless cash is first presented.

I can’t speak for all women but I personally prefer jokes and snacks. I have my own cash.

u/rocc_high_racks 4d ago

Just put the fries in the bag, man.

u/900yearsiHODL 5d ago

Cash for Tit's. That might be a goer.

u/annabelle411 5d ago edited 5d ago

After centuries of men sexualizing women for free, you can't get upset when they monetize on it.

You want the access to their bodies on demand, without any benefit to them.

EDIT Downvotes and mean messages already. Kind of proving my point. Women have to be sexualized on mens terms, and if they speak out or monetize it - theyre simply not “high value” like the men who want to consume the content, but just want it free 🤣🤣🤣

Fuck you, I downvoted because you used emojis.

Thank you for the laugh. I haven’t burst out laughing in a long time due to a comment

We must stop WFH. Return to Hooters mandate NOW!

u/Lethargie 4d ago

tits have been online for decades, for free.

u/Alimbiquated 4d ago

Yeah online porn is bad news for this line of business. AI chatbots make it even worse.

u/TolMera 5d ago

Imagine, you’re a fool if you can bankrupt a Casino - what are you if you bankrupt a titty bar?

If you run out of money for the casino, you go to the bar… if the bars going bust either people are winning at the casino, or we’re so bust economically that the literal ass has fallen out of the market.

u/ExistingPosition5742 5d ago

As a long time strip club worker and one time casino employee, I'm here to tell you all it takes is incompetence and selfishness to ruin a business that is basically a license to print money. 

Indeed, owning one of these business is a commentary on the character of the owner- but not in the way one would think. 

4

u/TolMera 5d ago

Please enlighten us, what does it say about the owner? (Genuinely curious)

1

u/Local_Phenomenon 5d ago

I'd imagine it's like when the idea is fresh "Hey bud, I have an idea that I know is too good to not work! wink Then after the company goes public on trade and then after corporate greed deletes that initial feeling. Then the owner is to blame. Maybe. Something like that. I wouldn't know..

u/itscool222 5d ago

A few years ago Hooters also sold the one old ass casino in vegas that's changed more hands than a dollar bill.

u/Darryl_Lict 5d ago

I always liked that hotel. It was too shitty for most of my friends but it was cheap with filthy rooms and they had an unbelievably cheap wings deal after midnight. The dealers were hot and they usually had the cheapest tables in town. They had the most tolerant dealers. I was there once where the guy playing third base fell off his stool into the pit twice and they still didn't throw him out.

u/allkidnoskid 5d ago

I stayed there once. It was ok.

u/PizzaCatAm 5d ago

It’s fun, close to the strip, and cheap ass minimum bets haha, I like to play there, not trying to risk my mortgage lol.

2

u/allkidnoskid 4d ago

Agree. It was, what it was, a place to rest, gamble, and grab a steak (Dan Marino's) without going into debt. People were chill and nice. Not the best or the worse.

u/gitismatt 5d ago

and strangely the hooters restaurant remained

u/XaeiIsareth 5d ago edited 5d ago

Pretty… normal tbh.

The lockdown made online porn and OF the norm for looking at tits and you didn’t exactly go there for great food.

u/TolMera 5d ago

Extra fishi sushi 🍣

u/PhuqBeachesGitMonee 5d ago

What would get people going again is if they changed with the times and turned it into Femboy Hooters

u/XaeiIsareth 5d ago

I need muscular men in maid outfits.

u/SalsaRice 5d ago

I wonder if the advertising/reputation (or lack thereof) was the problem.

I went one time, and the food was fine. It was essentially the same level of quality as the average restaurant in it's price bracket, even though the reputation was supposed to be that the food was awful. But if people just assume the food is bad because that's the expectation.... nobody is going to bother to try it except horny old truckers, frat boys, or people trying to be funny (lol we went to hooters).

1

u/XaeiIsareth 4d ago

The tits is a double edged sword.

If you tell your wife that you want to take her and the kids to eat out at Hooters, you’ll probably gonna get a few questions. 

So it’s losing out on a big segment of the market already by being food with tits since it’s not exactly ‘oh you gotta try this’ levels of great food. 

So if the people that want to look at tits dropped in numbers, it’s pretty expected that it sees a decline.

u/dudemanjack 4d ago

I don't understand this mindset with casinos. They don't go bankrupt because people are beating them at their games. They are expensive to operate and if people aren't going to your casino, you can definitely lose money.

Same thing goes for a strip club. Hooters is just a restaurant though, not sure why you're lumping it in with strip clubs.

1

u/TolMera 4d ago

Dude, your bias is showing.

Re read, I didn’t say strip club. I said titty bar.

We also didn’t discuss how casinos go tits up at all.

1

u/vi_sucks 5d ago

Actually titty bars are a lot harder to make money on than you'd think.

You have all the standard problems of any regular bar, plus additional hassle from law enforcement and religious groups constantly trying to find reasons to get you shut down.

just wait til they start putting tariffs on titties

u/Dwarfbunny01 5d ago

Similar to strip clubs, eye candy is boring if you know what I mean 😂

u/XYZ2ABC 5d ago

it be told that Strippers are often the first to know the economic is on the skids… the ultimate disposable income.

Using that logic, I think blow dealers on Wall St are the last to know…

u/5amwakeupcall 5d ago

At least you will remember all the great mamaries you had at Hooters.

u/Soatch 5d ago

I went to a couple different Hooters locations in the Tampa area. For being known for wings 2 of the 3 wing orders I got weren’t good.

Private equity is bankrupting businesses that are otherwise succeeding very well. Phony loan schemes. It's all quite fucked up.

Turns out a picnic at the beach has better food for less money and the scenery is better in every respect.
