You know you're describing like a bjillion people in this day and age. I'd say that isn't exactly a wild stretch from normal at this point.

Yes, because paying someone for niche content they own is much worse for sex workers compared to streaming porn for free or paying a production company (many of which traffic and coerce women into producing content).

Porn is a very real and human thing. Might as well pay the people who decide to make it instead of some company profiting off of men and women’s bodies.

Thats all fine as long as you dont start parasocial relationships, which unfortunately onlyfans encourage.

We're not talking about what's better or worse for sex workers, we're talking about if the client is as mentally healthy as genpop.

I would say that because they are willing to pay, they probably have at least put some thought into how they consume porn.

However the article states no difference.

There is free pornsites everywhere. I mean you are on a platform that has it. And is it niche content when you can literally see the same thing for free? And you dont think OF has predatory companies going to these content creators to boost popularity? Come on now they are literally taking advantage of hopeless people starving for that kind of attention. There isnt enough time in a day for them to interact with all the people that come across them in a day.

Yes, free porn exists, but most of the free porn here is just ads for OF content. Maybe niche was the wrong word. I meant more “unique in the way that I know the content and style of this creator and how they present”.

That may be true about promotional groups, but at the end of the day, the average OF creator makes more and is subject to less physical abuse and coercion.

Financial coercion is a different topic entirely.
