It’s been the one of the most absurd things I’ve ever had the displeasure to learn. It’s effectively catfishing, but you’re being catfished by the person you’re trying to talk to, and there’s worker exploitation or slavery involved. Modern society is fucking weird.

OnlyFans seems like something Epstein would have dreamed up. "How do we get the average woman to sell herself? Step one: Pull all of the disposable income from the system"

It's always sad seeing someone who doesn't know any better get swindled into whoring themselves out to sleezeballs. For every onlyfans success story, there are thousands of failures that still put their nudes out there and won't be able to take them back.

As usual, scumbag males create a culture where exploiting vulnerable women is acceptable and praised.

Imagine sending catfish messages about how horny you are to lonely, gullible people…and then all you have to show for it at the end of the day is $16. You’d have more money and self respect with a real job.

That's not terrible for the Philippines. Cost of living is lower.
