Dime chicks figured out they could quadruple their income on Onlyfans and put up with a fraction of the bs

Actually this sounds pretty likely tbh.

The real 8s, 9s and 10s can probably OnlyFans & thirstTrap-on-Tiktok-or-Instagram on their own.

u/MontyAtWork 5d ago

And, unlike what a lot of people think, they can be doing it without full nudity, just like the Hooters model already did.

u/Magical-Johnson 5d ago

What kind of beast pays for onlyfans without seeing TNA? Honestly who pays for OF for anything, but paying for ludes?

u/MontyAtWork 4d ago edited 4d ago

Oh man, so there's a lot:

  • Some dudes just want to talk and will tip hourly for the privilege of doing so

  • Other men WANT to be kept from seeing a girl nude, like a control thing where she WON'T let them see her that way

  • An ABSURD number of people just want feet and no nudity

  • Some guys want to give a girl princess treatment where they just buy stuff for a girl and tip her for her time

  • And plenty of girls have "No Full Nudity" on their pages and thousands of guys sub because the Nudes are like pasties or hidden behind cloth/blankets and it's the thrill of a possible slip that's keeps them going.

I think he less means the OF models (though that might still be a thing) and more the Insta thirst traps

2

u/LimpConversation642 4d ago

but what do they get paid for? talking? seriously asking. I still can't wrap my head around people paying for pictures of naked women on OF, and now they're apparently don't even have to be naked??

u/bigpoppawood 4d ago

I think the meat and potatoes is customer interaction. Some dudes are equally lonely and horny, and OF is a convenient, albeit superficial, bandaid I guess.

6

u/TherronKeen 4d ago

I imagine they're doing a public OF with no nudity so they can upsell the fuck out of private shows with nudity. I guess?

3

u/princeoinkins 4d ago

Again, on OF, who knows, it's probably just risque stuff.

For someone not doing "corn", insta thirst traps prolly make WAY more money. they get views, and in turn can have ads on them, paying the influencer money

u/Ssyynnxx 4d ago

Bro they are paying for nude images/videos in the first place; either they get off on the financial exhcange or theyre legitimately regarded (derogatory)

u/MrBobBuilder 4d ago

You serenely underestimate what maidenless losers will spend money on

u/sassless 5d ago

and without being hassled by customers during and after their shift.

u/Ok_Bit9598 4d ago

If they’re hoes of social media and onlyfans, how are they 8s, 9s, and 10s?

u/throwaway_0x90 placeholder for a good flair someday 4d ago

your comment history and newness of account tells me you're a troll so I'm not going to bother explaining

Quadruple? Basic bitches make $10K/mo showing ass for 2 hours a day

Essentially the US is a nation of oligarchs, worker drones, day traders and cam whores

It's the beautiful world the GIs who died on the beaches of Omaha wanted for their children

u/WickedShiesty 5d ago

Who knew Nebraska had beaches! /s

Somebody just revealed why Warren Buffett is stashing all that cash

u/Brasticus 5d ago

Triple landlocked and has the nerve to grant the rank of Admiral to prominent public figures!

u/motorbikler 5d ago

lol I mean Omaha beach. But I'm going to let it stand.

u/Orjigagd 4d ago

Basic beaches

Suckers and losers

u/ebobbumman 5d ago

The average income per month is $150. The people getting rich are few and far between. Twitch is this way too. Well, I guess most things are actually, but the people at the top are making way, way more than almost everybody else combined.

u/NessaMagick 5d ago

There has been a perception for like a decade that a woman on the internet just needs to show skin and get set for life. It's possible, but for every one that makes six figures doing it there's a hundred that don't make shit.

10

u/Tookmyprawns 5d ago

I also imagine it takes a lot of work. Marketing, business, branding, social media, etc. Does not sound easy at all. It’s like people saying being an athlete is easy when you’re young. No. Being an athlete is possible when you’re young, doesn’t make it easy.

Every single mother I know is running only fans I think the appeal is it’s really not that much work to show off pussy

u/EtTuBiggus 5d ago

Average looking girls and above can make good money degrading themselves on the internet.

6

u/NessaMagick 5d ago

Can. But most won't.

u/Least-Back-2666 5d ago

So it's like the rest of the economy then too.

u/usrnmz 5d ago

Winner takes all.

u/TrasiaBenoah 5d ago

Interesting. I haven't looked at the metrics anytime lately. I know there were a bunch of hoes making a ton of money before but enshitification is inevitable on these garbage platforms, and there's an endless supply of hos because,. Like the Vandals song... "girls turn 18 everyday"

13

u/562longbeachguy 5d ago

most make far less and end up going back to their reception office/dental hygeinist/CNA jobs.

u/TrasiaBenoah 5d ago

yes. BUT THE INTERNET NEVER FORGETS

u/simpersly 4d ago

Online porn is essentially a new MLM scam.

The only difference is your bad mistake is on display forever.

u/sailhard22 5d ago

And 3 out of 4 make money

u/kloricker 5d ago

worker drones don't make money, stop it

2

u/sailhard22 5d ago

At least they don’t lose money

u/berryer 5d ago

gross money, not net money

Good Lord dude, get out and touch some grass. The US isn't defined by what you gooners see on your screens.

u/TrasiaBenoah 5d ago

It's sarcasm ya dunce

You seem like the kind of person that gets mad at the mailman

u/EtTuBiggus 5d ago

Damn right I do.

The bastard comes by my house every day, so I bark at him until he learns his lesson.

u/Plus_Jellyfish_633 5d ago

Absolutely blows my mind how anyone gives those whores money.

Lonely dudes are desperate for connection.

u/RobertISaar 5d ago

But also, gooners.

day traders don’t exist

Still can’t believe people (mostly men) pay for this

How dare you. Ukrainian and Russian girls rule the cam whoring.

The BS: i accidentally asked for tater-tits and i was looking down at the menu

u/Californiadude86 4d ago

From what I hear making money on OF is about as hard as becoming a successful musician. Theres millions of people trying but only like the top .01% make any real money.
