It’s kinda scary how finance and payment processing companies can just destroy a company and a whole bunch of people’s livelihoods by themselves just because they decide they don’t like what they sell, and have no oversight whatsoever preventing them from doing this.

I’ve read the average OF creator only makes like $200. I love a conspiracy as much as anyone but idk if that’s what’s going on here.

Yeah I’ve read that if you look at the time people put in to their patreons, most creators are probably earning less than minimum wage. It’s definitely not the get rich quick that some people believe it to be, even if you get the occasional Bella Thorne to prop up that narrative.

That’s probably what is going on, to some degree. But imo that creates a realistic picture of the typical OF content creator experience.

I envision there’s many people who signed up and didn’t post anything. Or they posted for a while but never got more than like $100/ month. I haven’t looked at the numbers but if it’s similar to patreon, for every one popular creator I’d bet there’s like 60 accounts that went nowhere.

90% of people made an OF and then abandoned it, driving down the average. For the remainder, it’s a real job for half of them. I’d say sex work represents a significant abdication from the traditional labor market.
