Prostitution pays I guess
For women only & it’s an easy gig compared to anything else
For women only
More like “for anyone having sex with men”.
Also safe to say it’s far from easy considering the dangers inherent in it, especially in countries that demonize sex workers.
& yet it’s still easiest thing for women only
I’d tell you to go back to the hole you crawled out of but you probably are the way you are because it abandoned you
Really, an easy gig? I guess you are referring to only fans and not actual prostitution, the latter does not seem easy at all.
Yes it is & I’m tired of pretending it isn’t, you’ll be surprised how much easier it is & OnlyFans also comes under “Actual Prostitution”
Selling your body to any man with money does not seem easy at all to me. Or do you think all women in prostitutuon, and men for that matter, are there because they like it?
Easy gig compared to what? Certainly there are more difficult jobs, but I’d hardly think it’s easy. This feels like the same mentality as people who say it’s easy to be a streamer, or the way people would say it’s easy to be a YouTuber a decade ago. I think there is a lot more work that goes into it than you suspect.
Especially if you’re saying it’s “for women only” implying it’s just male gaze propping them up. If you really believe that, wouldn’t that make it more difficult? Wouldn’t that imply women only have a few years to make money while they’re in their “prime”? Wouldn’t that imply they need to have a strict diet and workout routine to maintain their figure?
Easy gig compared to anything & there’s no “male gaze” it’s simple gender dynamics
I think it’s more work than you’d think. Plus, much like people pursuing other forms of content creation, there are a few people making a ton of money and a whole lot making little to nothing.
Also, what do you mean by “simple gender dynamics”?
It’s for men too but apparently you’re too lazy for an “easy gig”.
More like you’re too blind to see, there are no easy jobs for men
A man could 100% prostitute or open an only fans. And they’ll have the same type of customers as a woman, and probably be performing the same actions.
So if it’s easy for women it should be easy for men.
Ok then, do it then, what are you waiting for ?
I don’t do it for the same reason that most women don’t do it. Because I don’t want to. And because I prefer to do things I enjoy doing.
If you want that “easy” money just open a grindr account and do some squats so you have a nice ass, my dude, you’ll be golden.
Well yeah, that’s like the whole point of prostitution.
I watched the video and it is very convincing and honestly true on many levels. If you can earn much better money from being your own boss then why would you want to spend time with those assholes at work for less?
I am doing it myself just not as successful and not porn because I like privacy.
There is something strange about her and this whole thing though. I can’t help to think it’s all some kind of stunt or AI person idk. Something is uncanny
If I had to guess, I’d say her OF gig is far from a full time job. So she still has time to spare to work on what she enjoys, and the capital to start an actual business down the road.
I suspect it’s AI generated too. Look at her right shoulder after around the 30 second mark: https://youtube.com/shorts/Cks_9h9Nx_Q, it’s all jittery. Quite a cunning plan if that is the case though; carefully crafting a PhD persona and doing instructional videos for a year so men slowly fall in love, and then go full-bore on explicit content.
I think it may be the case of AI augmentation techniques. I do not think the whole person is artificial outright. The older the video the more clear it should be.
What can we tell is 100% real is onlyfans money and someone actually being in front of the camera.
Kinda makes you want to try to pull off something like this doesn’t it? Whether it is the case or not it really looks like an exciting way to make some money on the side.
At least before such things become super common
Augmentation does make more sense indeed.
Kinda makes you want to try to pull off something like this doesn’t it?
With OnlyFans I don’t think I’ve a problem, yet. But lying about one’s identity they’re selling I do consider as immoral, so no.
I do not have such problems 😂 but I appreciate generally that there are way more people who are concerned with such things. Makes society possible probably. Let’s hope it never changes.
However any perceived issues with lying about identity cannot be raised in the context of online porn. The lie is the key to the entertainment. End result is what matters with onlyfans. There is no deception where there wasn’t any truth from the beginning. Porn is deception. When someone treats it as real they become disordered and not aligned to the real world.
Not to mention the family friendly YouTubers being very distant from the definition of “real”. You didn’t think they all present their real selves in front of the camera? Showbiz is all smoke and mirrors. There was never any real identity there.
However yes this is probably the most wrong account you would want to have parasocial relationship with. Not that there are any right.
What is the biggest confirmed prime number to this date?
It’s Emmie, not google dot com
Whenever i see the jokes about randoms dropping out of thier jobs to join only fans, i just think of Randy from South Park trying to start only fans
There’s probably a market for Lorde on OnlyFans.
Ya ya ya feelin’ good on a Wednesday
OnlyFans is suspicious af considering it’s not blocked in US states with porn bans. Some weird small group of people did a lot of hard work to effectively create a monopoly over porn in some U.S. states, users and creators should beware. I wouldn’t be surprised if some of these onlyfans contents are marketing pieces.
It’s not suspicious really. They apparently don’t operate in Florida due to those ID laws. It’s more so just that the states have targeted PornHub specifically for their bans to start with and since PH is owned by a conglomerate of sites similar to them, it’s affected many of those sites. Smaller sites remain unaffected often times.
As far as I understand it, the “porn bans” are actually laws that force strict ID requirements, not literally banning porn. (I’m not trying to debate whether they’re effectively porn bans, I’d agree they are.) So sites that are paid access only probably have an easier time proving they don’t let minors in.
Right, shifting the younger populations to the past of least resistance, and helping them form parasocial relationships which may be hard to break. Getting them while they’re young, so to speak.
I googled this story to, uh, fact check it, and found this article saying that her move to OF is fake news. Except, upon closer examination, it seems the article is AI slop and completely made up. How ironic.
So I’m reading this debunking, and
Zara smartly leveraged the viral moment to confront the misinformation head-on and promote her YouTube channel, where her actual content lies.
So I go to her YouTube channel https://youtube.com/@zara-dar and,
Description
STEM Gal and Model Austin, Texas.Message me:
https://zaradarz.com/Most recent video is https://youtu.be/_uEG0H4RXcA where she says she is making an OnlyFans (I’m not going to watch the full 10 minutes so unless this is an elaborate prank that’s revealed in the end…)
Go to https://zaradarz.com/ which is listed as her website on her YouTube channel
STEM Gal | PhD Dropout | OnlyFans model
Go to the OnlyFans link https://onlyfans.com/zaradar/c3
If you are a sapiosexual, this page is for you 😉 (Please click “more info” below 🥹)
Texas-born and bred, engineer, Ph.D. dropout, and YouTuber. I’m a nerd with a passion for art, fitness, and reading.
On this page, I share with you my artistically and beautifully curated exclusive content which includes a level of nudity and my love for erotica 📸. I love pushing my boundaries with you 😉.
Also this Instagram page links to her website (the one mentioned on her YouTube) and is from at least as far back as December 2022 https://www.instagram.com/zara.darz/ which also mentions she is a 🌶️ Content Creator and links to an exclusive invite only Instagram page.
And I’m just rereading your comment and seeing that you said the debunk article is AI slop, I thought you were saying that article called others AI slop lmao.
Well, if anyone else misreads it they can also see this too now lol.
I hope she’s saving for retirement. How does she expect to make money when she gets older and the OnlyFans crowd no longer wants to masturbate to her videos?
Bro what
OnlyFans has a reputation for people exploiting their looks. OnlyFans users have a reputation for judging people based on their looks. As you may have noticed, people tend to be judged as less attractive as they get older.
I’m not endorsing that system, I’m just evaluating it based on how people act.
So does the NFL. Are you making sure NFL players are saving for retirement, too?
If one posted here, I sure would! It’s a shame when people who have usually been exploited most of their lives are allowed to go bankrupt.
You think a woman choosing to enter sex work is being exploited? OF and the NFL can be exploitative platforms, but because they are corporations, not because someone on the internet forgot to save the people taking part in those enterprises
You say that like she was going to make a fortune in academia.
She’s dropped out of a doctorate which means she likely already has more qualifications than you and I combined.
There’s a difference between making a fortune and just having a steady pay check.
The issue is when she is old and used up the income dries up completely.
So whatever “fortune” she makes from this better carry her for the rest of her life because that tap WILL dry out.
Or, you know she could get another job and build a retirement fund through that.
I guess but who is going to hire someone that’s been out of work for years?
Trying to explain to some hiring manager that you took several years off to show your genitals online is a pretty bad place to be.
when she is old and used up
Downvoted for blatant misogyny
If she’s not a complete idiot, she probably already has more retirement savings than the average gen-xer. Assuming the pyramid scheme that is our stock market keeps growing, she might have already saved all she needs to. If the bubble collapses, she will just be living in a mad max apocalypse with the rest of us.
obviously like any sporting personality who gets too old for sport you coach the next generation of only fans contenders, and manage their social media presence, marketing etc. all for a small % of their takings.
Lol having a PhD doesn’t get you a pension. She’ll make more from OF than she’d ever make by staying in academia.
So much this. PhD just means you are earning significantly less than your peers for at least six years, and then if you stay in academia, it’s less your whole life. There are some nice perks though, but for purely monetary reasons, you do not go for a PhD.
Yeah basically the only PhD that pays is AI research if it can get you a job at OpenAI.
But better hurry before we move on to the next fad!
Nobody sees a sports athlete get a million dollar contract and says “I hope this guy is saving for retirement. How does he expect to make money when he can’t pitch fastballs at 100 mph?” Why does this comment only happen to women being models?
It’s actually discussed a lot in sports. There are many stories of athletes who earned millions and were broke just a couple of years after retirement because they didn’t have the right people around to help them prepare.
I’m going to make a generalization and say that someone in a PhD program (any PhD program) is more practical and better at handling financial planning than 95% of all professional athletes.
Yeah recently heard a sports announcer saying that it was amazing that a 31-year-old was playing at the level that they were.
I was like, bro, he’s 31. What the fuck.
I have a theory about that that I’ll now subject lemmy to! Professional sportsers are often heavily managed from a very young age (practice schedules, diet monitoring, weightlifting regime, traveling). Even in college they often have to sign up for special versions of classes to fit with their schedules (on top of the diet/exercise/practice/travel) making fewer of their own day to day decisions than their peers. When they leave the sport they don’t have all these other people dictating their lives anymore but they haven’t had enough experience living on their own or room to make certain mistakes they would have learned from if they’d been in charge of more of their time and decisions.
From what I’ve heard, you’re right. While athletes are pulling in money for the people upstairs, people take care of them. Once they retire, they become worthless to management/ownership, so they’re thrown to the wolves. With no money management skills of their own, a lot of them go broke.
I’ve actually found that college athletes (the ones I get to teach) are much better prepared (for “adulting”) than their peers at graduation. They have much better time management skills and tend to manage and navigate group dynamics better. I think some of what you are saying heavily depends on the sport or perhaps athletic level. I’m not teaching anyone near going pro, they just like their sport and enjoyed the scholarship.
Yeah, that’s cause there is a big difference between someone who is going to college and also playing sports vs someone at college to play sports.
If your a student athlete that is never going pro, then you need good time management, keep up grades, etc. If your someone going pro things are a lot different.
i just repeated what others below said better
a ton of famous athletes go broke after retiring because they are retired at like 35 or 40 with an unsustainable lifestyle. So many bad car dealerships and bad restruarants are retired pro athletes trying to maintain a lifestyle that they should have avoided while destroying their body for cash.I guess I’m weird, then, because I think that - especially regarding Olympic athletes in sports that don’t have much of a following.
She can always go back to STEM later. OnlyFans is not necessarily the end of a career.
That depends on whether or not people find her only fans.
I hope that’s what she does. She was intelligent and hardworking enough to get into the program in the first place, so that’s good.
She didn’t stop being intelligent when she started doing only fans.
Step one to becoming an Onlyfans star … be young
Step two to becoming an Onlyfans star … have natural beauty
Lilly Allen is on onlyfans and makes more money than her Spotify streams. She only post feet pics so there’s that.
I’m 0-2. 😭
Welcome to the Old Ugly Fuck Club
Old-Ugly Fuck club or Old Ugly-Fuck club.
That hyphen makes a difference.
Ah yes … the first schism to our new group
Didn’t they tell you the first rule of old ugly fuck club?
That … that … we’re actually beautiful inside?
No, you can still be fugly on the inside. These are separate and the lack of one doesn’t imply anything about the other. You might be able to fix one of them, though… ask a plastic surgeon.
Not to worry then, OnlyBogans is for you! Sign up today and make fuck all!
Hey! Maybe we can add and become a 3
Step three: Be incredibly lucky…
‘Attention’ is an extremely hard habit to kick
The other thing that’s probably hard to kick is a life of leisure and the money to buy whatever you want by staying home with a camera instead of sweating through a PhD program.
Yeah, had I the potential to do the same, I’d grab the chance in a heartbeat. It’s both much more lucrative as well as comfortable, allowing working from home or in midst of traveling, or whatever. The flexibility alone would be enough to convince me. Assuming they have the audience already and not just jumping in cold.
They’ll probably make at least tenfold the money I’ll be making in my entire lifetime, in a couple of years. Certainly more than academics would.
People here worried about the long term? As if getting a phd and working in academics would ever bring them the money they’ll likely make in a couple of years. If anything, this is the move to make if one is concerned about the long term, especially financially. They’ll be able to retire, probably very early, unlike your average academic.
Anyone making this very choice, I.e being smart enough for a phd but choosing something else, will have thought about the future and all that comes with it. With sensible investing and whatever, they’ll probably be sailing towards a very comfortable life.
Why would anyone think choosing the phd would be the more long-term sensible choice? Academics is the same as being a nurse or a teacher: it’s a passion choice. Not a smart choice. Not everything has to be smart either. But it’s certainly going to be so much more future-proof in general.
She probably won’t be able, like most athletes, to do this until regular retirement age. So why not make the most of it now. She can always go back into research if she felt like it after she can retire for life.
Good for her! I’m sure it’s not easy to achieve that kind of success on OnlyFans, so clearly she made some smart moves to get where she is.
/s?
No, no sarcasm. The vast majority of OnlyFans creators barely make any money. This woman did something smart to achieve success.
I guess it depends on how easy you can be discovered. It’s easy to take off your clothes and get people to pay you to do it, but if you’re in a sea of 1000s of women doing the same thing are you seen?
Same thing with being a YouTuber. Anyone can create a channel. It’s hard to make that channel worth something.
I’m sure “working hard” is way more important than being attractive on a platform where people pay to watch attractive women naked. Oh, wait…
Being attractive is a prerequisite, but not enough. There’s a lot of attractive women, not all of them make 1 mio. on OF.
Being successful anywhere requires hard work. You can be born into money, but you’ll have to work a lot to be a success yourself, not just a nobody with a lot of money coming from those that were successful. You can be born attractive (and that’s subjective anyway, people have a lot of different tastes and kinks) and without hard work, it’ll not be worth anything.
No idea why you are being so patronizing and dismissive. Either you are bitter and lashing out, or you need a little bit more perspective and general empathy, as in capability to see the world not only from your personal point of view, and the capability to process that, too.
This reads like a typical white knight comment one might find on reddit. Lemmy is getting more and more disappointing every day.
If you really believe that a person that makes 1M on OF “deserves” that money and did “hard work” then I don’t really think there’s anything we can discuss.
For someone who doesn’t have anything to discuss, you do have an awful lot to say and keep repeating. Suit yourself.
I do have something to discuss. If you prefer to ignore my point then what can I say. Suit yourself.
If you really believe that a person that makes 1M on OF “deserves” that money and did “hard work” then I don’t really think there’s anything we can discuss.
Someone sounds a little jelly. Seriously though, there are all kinds of people making way more money than that without doing a damn thing to justify a penny of it. The Internet allows niche means of making money simply because you can “sell” your products to thousands or even millions of people–in this case directly from the comfort of her home. There are plenty of other schemes out there that can be similarly lucrative if you’re good at what they want you to do.
Clearly this woman is quite smart to be in that field in the first place, why wouldn’t she take the more lucrative route? Wouldn’t you?
Not jealous at all, just disappointed I guess. I just can’t congratulate a person that had the skill/luck/whatever to get 1M with a minimum effort and they then decide to drop out of a job that could actually contribute something to society to do the banal and functionally useless job full time. It’s incredibly wasteful.
Also no, I wouldn’t go for the “lucrative” route if I already have more than enough money.
Finally, I have several friends that are phd students and you dom’t have to be super smart to do that. You do need dedication though. But the same can be said for quite a few lines of work.
CapITAlisM iS thE BeST sysTEm wE HAve! SOCialIsM doeSNt woRK!
If you’ve got it, flaunt it.
I hope she manages to set up an irrevocable trust that guarantees steady income for the rest of her life so someday she can quit sex work and just pursue art or something if she wants
Hell, maybe it’ll turn out that sex work is her art and that is ok too
But my Puritan beliefs are more important than her well being!!!
/s
Sex work is performance art.
Good for her but I can’t help but feel envious that paths and choices like this are basically exclusively only available to the opposite sex
it isn’t. there’s a lot of male OF models too, although their fans are probably mostly gay men. good news is, unlike performers from before online videos took off, you don’t really have to be “gay for pay”. OF models can get away with doing solo work as well.
you could argue that men have similar exclusive, lucrative paths that use their strength/athleticism and are also probably statistically similar rates of exclusivity within their sex. Like, not everyone will be a professional footballer just like not every onlyfans model makes livable income.
Not to mention, it’s definitely possible for men to have successful careers in sex work. I expect there are far fewer successful men in sex work, and they probably need to be ok with having a mostly male clientele. But it’s still possible.
The mean earnings for OF is $150/month. Meaning it’s likely there’s a vast majority of people earning $50-100/month, and a vast minority earning $100k/month.
With props, camera, lighting, editing “costuming” etc, you probably lose money doing it.
Blame that on men being the only people willing to pay for it.
That said there’s plenty of gay men out there willing to buy pictures of your ding dong if it’s photogenic enough.
Maybe her fan base is sapio sexual… still a waste of talent ._. (but I would do the same… one million to fuck on cam? Per year??? Deal!)
Capitalism is a completely inefficient and unsustainable grift based on serving privileged white wieners.
Plenty of Chinese, black, south american weiners.
There is no need to bring in race and divide us. We’re all getting fucked by the 1% regardless of skin color.
