Yo! I really wish this was not the sentiment. Support the media you consume. Otherwise you don't know what sort of shady shit is going on.
I'd pay if there was a more discrete way of doing it. Overall, you should pay for the things you want. Or they will go away (well probably not porn). But like local businesses and such.
Capital one has a cool temp CC feature. It just generates a cc number on the spot. Not saying I support capital one but it is a dope ass feature.
Thankful for not having a lot of money, meaning such a expense would be negligible?
you ungrateful fuck.
It’s my understanding that the most ethical forms of porn is not free.
Free range porn.. caged or not, depending on preference
Do cam girls count? Because that's how I donated to the Ukraine war effort.
Quick question, is this a tax deductible donation? The IRS won't answer my emails on this
IRS are useless, just ask what ever model you are frequenting. They will direct to the appropriate paperwork.
Don't know about donations through porn but a friend of mine used to be a whore. She misses tax deductible underwear.
Modern warfare comes with various innovations I see.
Modern whorefare
Booo, the only whore is my right hand and all the crazy orifices it finds itself in.
You do you but I'm thankful that I have spare money to spend on supporting good porn
you mean tasteful art
Art so good it's orgasmic
It's not art unless it provoke something inside you. And outside you. And clean that shit up.
If by tasteful you mean furry vore...
Then yeah, tasteful.
Hey, we're not here to kink shame.
However...
But it's not impolite to kink ask why.
But what if that's the fetish?
Then it's disgusting
Just a reminder folks, people say the same thing about tomatoes. Then will go and drink a bottle of ketchup.
I just pirate that porn, heck many of them charge for their OF while they post the same shit that's on their insta and when they do release something worthwhile you gotta dunk another 50 to get it.
While already spending 8 bucks a month just to see a mirror of their instagram.
Just sell the damn video for 58 bucks and leave out the bullshit part of the deal. They're just playing into addiction related habits to get you to spend more.
I had a very interesting interaction with an OF model. I made an account years ago to support a friend who was starting out there. I logged in a few days ago to see another model that had advertised on a different platform.
I get a notification of a message and it's one of the models where they have a free OF but everything is PPV.
I figured it was a bot and just ignored it but then got another notification. I figured I could just reply and say hi.
The model in question is a porn star (i.e. has videos on major production companies) but also has an OF. I subscribed because she's totally my type.
Anyway I'm having this back and forth with her and I'm wondering "this isn't a bot but....is it really her?"
And I got the sense that these professional models hire people to chat with people on their OF. That's nuts! I get that porn sells a fantasy. That's a given but I didn't expect that they would hire people to pretend to be them.
I had a similar experience but then I got a little uncomfortable because she started sending me weird cryptic messages
Stuff like "The operation failed with an error. [429] You have reached your OpenAI API limit. Please check your plan and billing details"
Unfortunately because of the stigma and the defacto ostracization from certain aspects of society, not the least of which is financial, people in these industries are usually really callous when it comes to extracting money out of the clients. Not to mention the fact that most of society doesn't need porn or doesn't need it enough to consider paying for it.
I suppose it's tit-for-tat. The client objectifies them as a sex object, they objectify the client as a cash cow. But now I'm just describing most capitalist exchanges.
I didn't expect that they would hire people to pretend to be them.
Why wouldn't they? Think about trying to respond to all of those people, every day, on top of doing everything else you need to do.
As I am learning it makes sense but here's how I think about it.
I'm very supportive of sex work. But I don't want to be tricked or misled.
If you're offering "exclusive" pictures that are taken just for me, I would expect that you don't sell them to anyone else. At that point, I'm contracting you for a specific job and paying for the product.
The crazy ones I've heard about are women looking for sugar daddies on dating websites. They set up profiles like any woman would but as you strike up a conversation, you find out that they just want someone to pay their bills.
So if an OF model is chatting with her fans, you go girl and do your thing. But don't make me think that I'm talking to you when really it's some low-wage employee in the Philippines who's gonna get fired because their upsale didn't work on me.
This was an interesting read for me the other day, pretty much exactly what you're describing: https://www.wired.com/story/i-went-undercover-secret-onlyfans-chatter-wasnt-pretty/
Very very eye opening. Thank you
there's a massive industry of hiring people to pretend to be models, because there's huge money in personal experiences / personally tailored experiences. I listened to a podcast where they interviewed someone from the Phillipines who worked in the equivalent of a call center that was made up of people sexting in OF dms. A lot of people wouldn't pay for like pornhub premium or something like that, but would pay for "custom" content and "real" attention from their favorite performer
That was the key to know it wasn't really the model. She was trying to sell me on buying a photo set. I asked her if they were exclusive to me, to which she replied yes.
Then I asked her to do a custom pose (nothing scandalous; wanted to see how exclusive this was) and she said she couldn't do that.
At that point I said to her thanks but no thanks
But I agree. If she would have done that I probably would have paid for it. But not for pictures that everyone else.
Drag queen Amanda Tori Meating has gone on the record about her day job as an OnlyFans ghostwriter. There's an entire industry of talent agencies that hire minimum wage gig workers to pretend to be the model you are paying $x per month to interact with.
Also not one of those people who comment on porn.
funny comments on pornhub are best tho :D
As opposed to not so funny and now deleted messages on Nude Africa?
The porn industry is so fucked, most actors don't see much regardless of the popularity of their videos. Fuck that.
Indeed, particularly women in that industry are getting fucked.
don't worry, there's a lot of men that get fucked too
As opposed to other industries, where everybody gets their fair share /s
Expect porn doesn't require any education.
It has never been easier to get money in the hands of your favorite performers. But it’s still harder than it should be.
(Fuck the prudes at Mastercard)
And still it's peanuts compared to what payment and platform providers make.
It's also easy to get your hands in your favorite performers with money. But harder than it could be
