Reply to comment by Virgilizartor in New study explores the sexual attitudes and characteristics of OnlyFans users by nikan69

Or maybe you just want to see specific people's content and actually support them? Is that so weird?

Like yeah, we all know you can get porn for free. The reason they pay isn't because they aren't aware of that. There's plenty of free music too, but people still pay for music.

People comparing producing a song or an album to taking a foot pic is the reason the musical industry's in shambles right now...

It's not just "taking a foot pic", there's so much work that goes into successful sex work. Creating content people want to see is a job, it takes skill and effort and time. It takes knowing your audience and catering to them, it often includes a great degree of acting and social skills, and building a persona. The camera work, lighting, and filming takes skill as well.

You might not see the value in it, but it's not because there isn't any- the music industry is in shambles for reasons unrelated to sex work.

It's not a 1:1 comparison, but the point is that people pay for things because they like those things and want to support the creator.
