I ain’t mad at anyone making money as best they can in the system we’re stuck in.
But it shouldn’t be everywhere. Some communities/subs are about people just sharing that they feel like, no ulterior motives at all. If that’s not what you’re doing, you shouldn’t be there
it’s supply/demand. there’s much more cameras and people online than 10-20 years ago, so the supply is plenty. people paying for this content is much more mysterious to me. why would I ever do that?!
Paying, in the exact context of this topic, is to feign a legitimate connection with the performer. Whether you know it’s fake or not, direct interaction feels better. General examples of meaningless connections could be a celebrity answering your AMA question, could be a food company acknowledging your complaint, could be a car company noting your taste, could be a vibrator in a OF performer’s pussy matching the cadence of your tokens, could be a stripper listening to you cry in the vip booth. We are humans and we have silly feelings getting in the way of logic.
For the broader porn topic, paying is something you might do for appreciation of the content from particular sources or to maximize access to content not readily available by torrent. Or for addiction to novelty. I’ve thought about it because the hub/tube sites have shitty search algorithms that don’t do 100% keyword inclusion while pushing trending uploads that are either 90 second OF/cam teasers or overly abusive scenes.
That has absolutely nothing to do with what I said.
However, to respond to it as a separate subject, there’s plenty of reasons to pay for content.
The primary one is ethics. When you’re paying for content via an intermediary site, you can improve two things. First, that the person is of age legally. There’s ways around it, but the people that would typically bypass that would also be less likely to be using an intermediary site like onlyfans, they’ll be elsewhere.
Second, consent. Again, while it isn’t a perfect guarantee, and there are cases of models being pressured or even forced into doing it, it isn’t the majority.
So, by paying up, you have a much better chance of enjoying your content without concern about the two biggest horrors of pornography.
Then, you run into quality and specificity.
While still not a guarantee, onlyfans models are well aware that they have to produce material that is clear and easy to enjoy, so there’s less selfies in dirty mirrors, or pics taken on fifteen year old crappy cameras. Onlyfans is also fairly well known for models that can and will do customized content since they’re getting paid.
So, by paying, you have the highest chance of getting materials that are going to not only be what you want, but can be enjoyed for a very long time because technology is good enough that even mid tier phones produce images that can be zoomed in to one’s heart’s content.
You can’t neglect the pride factor either. Some folks have this idea that paying for it means they’re better than people that don’t. It’s a dumb idea, but the are people that think that way
I can keep going, but I doubt that’s useful for you.
The point of all that is to break down the mystery of it for you, not to convince you to pay for anything. I don’t know what your motivations are when looking at erotic content; nor what your beliefs are regarding it other than being dubious about paying for it.
There’s absolutely nothing wrong with enjoying free content at all. To the contrary, I think it’s a wonderful thing that there are places where people that enjoy showing their bodies can do so without any of the hassles and encumbrances that come with doing it for money. I think it’s a beautiful thing that there’s people willing to share their bodies visually, period. I dislike porn, but the beauty and variety of the human form is amazing, and when it’s celebrated, it makes me happy
And you can definitely use forums that do “gone wild” content in the way that the original post is about, where it’s just users sharing their bodies with no problem at all. That’s what they’re there for. But it does have drawbacks.
And that’s an outstanding explanation to why the OF supply infiltrated GW sites (and generally good points on the consent aspect). The net non-pro content remains more abundant than it was a decade or two ago, so it’s not like there was a net loss, it’s just the commercialization “tainted” some people’s “fun.”
Also, the more people pay for it the more infiltration of content promotion you’ll see into communities that are supposed to revolve around pure exhibitionism and “altruism”.
Yeah, I’m echoing the sentiment.

yup, that’s my point. we judge the suppliers but the supply side’s motivations are much more straightforward than that of those on the demand side.
That has absolutely nothing to do with what I said.

Tag for users that link to OF or not perhaps?
Eh, that’s more of a decision for the community as a whole, and I don’t use the community.
But, I still think it defeats the purpose.
Fair point. Overall I would be pretty indifferent toward it
