It actually is! Women making their own money, on their on schedule. As someone already pointed out, porn has been around way longer, but the work environment in porn was often unfair, sexist and even dangerous for women. They were treated unfairly and with the rise of OF, women who want to work in this industry can be their own boss.

@Lommy9999 10 днів тому

Owning your home nowadays means you are rich. Even a way smaller place and in a regular neighborhood. But she made a decision and she wants to provide for her family and I think she understands the pros and the many cons. She could not live off of her past work, and was facing losing her property. I don't think OF is all bad. It is shocking though how much men need this and basically how lonely millions of men are.

Exactly,.......when women are working they say "don't objectify me" but when they are out of work and irresponsible with their money, anything goes, even washed up geriatrics. If you experienced hardship during covid financially, YOU have POOR life choice problems and are probably one of those who has to beg the government for a hand out. Ironically these are the people who say they HATE government any other time, but are not ashamed to beg for cash. At the end of the day lots of people are just cheap, ignorant, fools who talk big until it's time to have an adult conversation.......you can see some in this comment stream

It just shows how much money actors actually make on a regular basis. I remember seeing an interview with Kai Penn, and what he said were residuals from Harold & Kumar go to Whitecastle. Most actors can't afford to get insurance, let alone make a living at it. BTW, onlyfans was started AS a fan interactive site and moved into the adult space. There was even a push a couple of years ago for it to remove adult content. Didn't happen of course but to even think about a move towards that shows there's a large amount of monetized non adult content out there.
