What is the point of Onlyfans? Why keep paying for this?

Also, the whole model really is a generational thing. How people donate via twitch and other similar platforms. Its crazy to see how an entire generation has totally adopted the subscription/PPV model for everything.

Here I am kinda regretting the thousands of dollars I've spent buying CDs, DVDs that I just donated at Renaissance and vhs rentals...

which makes it feel more real than just watching random videos.

It's not real, it's completely fake. I realize you can also make the same arguments as to the majority of SP-client interactions, and contend that they are not real. I do understand that there is a line between fantasy and reality but this is way, way below the line. I contend that the SP or Sugar Baby interaction, while also to some degree based on fantasy, is much closer to the line with reality than OF.

Here's an insight that's not obvious, but very lucrative, which is why this business newsletter picked up on it:

OnlyFans Sticky Business Model

Prior to OnlyFans, Aella says that the best way to make money “getting naked online” was on cam sites. Monetization for these sites were mainly done in two ways: 1) in public chatrooms; and 2) in private one-on-one online sessions.

To my surprise, the public chats were much more lucrative for performers. Why? Male users were all about status and wanted the other males to see how much they were spending.

“Each man can see the other men talking to you and giving you money,” writes Aella. “The men are implicitly ranked by dominance, which is determined by how much attention you pay to them, which is in turn determined by how much money they give you…[Whales] are incentivized not just by making you happy, but by making you happy in front of all the other men.”.

That’s psychology 101 right there. Aella says cam girls could make $3 a minute in a private chat vs. $20 a minute in a public chat because the dudes were all trying to flex on each other in the replies

also counterintuitively:

While Aella initially thought a high monthly subscription price was the best way to maximize earnings, one agency owner explained that the sweet spot was actually only $5 month:

They remember your name lol
For crying out loud it is a business they remember your monthly contribution when they go to cash it.
You like it great but don’t make it something that it is not.
There is absolutely nothing real about it unless you actually see them in person also.

I find it funny how you say this. Technically isn't it similar in escorting for the most part. Sure you can establish connections with SPs and become a "favorite client" but ultimately its a paid service... An Online creator could have a favorite client there too no?

I got to admit this baffles me. When i saw it live for the first time i didn't understand. I can understand the sex industry and the desire out of it, but seeing peoples donate 50-100$ to a video game streamer is insane to me. I would get the 3-5$ donations if you really enjoyed the time you spent there, or like the Patreon sub because you get perks etc, but just donating randomly because "here take my money" is wow to me. And its not just hot girls, seen it for dudes and even some that are not studs either.

This is actually very true wich is another feeling that goes way above my head. Maybe because i am not a rich guy, but even if i was, lets say not "stupid rich" but very very at ease, nice house, 150k a year etc. Still i wouldn't see myself dropping money left and right randomly... and certainly not to "flex".

Also yes 5$ OF seem manageable (even if it mean more like 8.50$ for us). When its 20 it switch to 33$ or such, thats basically what my cell cost every month and close to what i pay in Internet... If im taking a month at that ammount, thats the only OF i can pay that month. While if its 5$ i can have a few. I realize that even when the sub is 15, 20$, that rarely mean more than nudity on wall and everything sexual is PPV anyway... So its less incentive for me.

I think the 2 best models are Free to sub with everything PPV (so wall is censored or lingerie only) or 5$ but you get tiddies but the actual sex is PPV. Some instagram models i find very hot have a free sub but they selling PPVs of what MIGHT be nude (i never verified, there is no previews) but the price are insane. I came to the logic conclusion that if i can't find any leaks of them (like 0 nudes nowhere) while they are THAT popular, this mean there is no actual nudity and they just basically scam peoples. I know you can hire teams to take down leaks and all, but scrubbing the whole internet entirely... i doubt it. I think they show no preview or so blurry to hide that its not real. Im not dropping 50$US + taxes and fees to verify its an actual nude...

.. An Online creator could have a favorite client there too no?

It is possible, however people tend to remember someone they meet in person especially if on many occasions much more than someone paying a subscription unless he has some really weird requests lol.
Anyway not my cup of tea , neither porn nor only fans interests me, seen one seen them all kind of thing, much rather see someone in person.
