I only know this one, not the first, but from what i understand to be "accepted" as a friend you need to do like them, upload a lot of content. This is basically a form of "trading". So if you have no videos uploaded, they refuse you directly.
Totally get your point there. And of course there is a morality issue with piracy. That said, and im sure you will disagree with me there but it is what it is, i do think prices on Onlyfans (on top of the gambling nature of it, like no preview, false descriptions etc) are way too high and some form of "group purchase" is a good thing. By that i mean everybody contribute to a purchase of a scene. Now i know the creators are against it, but when i buy a scene, im sorry but its my right to keep acces to it, so i download it. I been screwed over by onlyfans before, like litterally videos i bough disapeared from my purchases for no reason. So i make sure i save everything. I paid for it, therefore its mine. In that same sentiment when a scenes is like 50$+ in Canadian $ and a few guys are willing to contribute and split the price in 3 or such, then we all get the scene and i feel this price is more reasonable.
Peoples do this all the time for various things. As a teen we used to buy cassette tapes of music and we would make copies for all our friends. Netflix sharing been a thing for as long as it exist (i know they trying to crack on this now), You can even game share on your video games on Xbox with another person if you chose to (its limited to 2 peoples tough).
Digital content always been in that "grey area" morally. I mean unlike a movie on disc you don't need to send a physical item to a person for sharing it. I don't think anyone would be against if i bough a movie on disc and 5 friends would borrow it over time, or lets say i host a movie night and have friends over and we watch it then, its seen as fine right? With a digital file, well its a file so you can just copy it, but the same concept kinda apply in my opinion. I don't see it the same as being available online for everyone aka actual piracy.
