Onlyfans is a great side hustle, don’t hate on sex work. I think being a professional youtuber is a stupid way to make money, but I’m not going to imply that everyone who does it is mentally ill.

I think hate is strong word, but personally I don't think it's great. Commodification of the flesh is always a bit upsetting, whatever the context.

I think it can be rather empowering when you’re the one in charge of your own commodification. Sex work really can be a sticky wicket, people being taken advantage of and whatnot. Onlyfans is probably the easiest way for someone to sell their own image without being directly taken advantage of, and whether it suits your tastes or not I think that’s really positive.

Full disclosure, I’m pretty heavily biased for this site specifically. I helped a past SO run an onlyfans and we split the income, it was really wild being a young couple who could afford things. As a side hustle it’s amazing supplemental income, as long as you’re not the jealous/narcissist type.

Yeah, that's fine, I just personally disagree with you. No big deal.
