    There’s advantages to paying for video games, even single player such as cloud saves as one example. For multiplayer games you get online play with dedicated servers, rather than finding a workaround like LAN tunneling with pirated games.

    You literally get nothing special from paying for porn.

      That’s fine if you’re into vanilla porn, but if you have a fetish even slightly more niche than what they’ve got on ex: Kink.com, you’re not going to find more than a handful of videos for free (unless you go with piracy but that’s beside the point). And those will be digitized German VHS tapes. And will be out of focus. So in situations like that, paying for porn (or, paying to support creators that produce content you enjoy) becomes a lot more attractive as an option.

      … not that I’d know anything about it first hand.

          You sure 🤔… he did kinda sound honest… he probably just has a friend that’s into that, and they are really close and share things like kinks and stuff like that… yeah, seems like a legit story to me 🤷.

            You don’t share your kinks with your friends?

              Good friends share. Not everyone can afford dungeon furniture.

                Indeed! My wife’s BFF knows all about my kinks!

                PS: My wife doesn’t wanna hear about them 🤷.

        There’s much niche stuff on Twitter… but your point stands.

        It’s wild how many people in this thread are using outliers as an argument for the norm.

      You literally get nothing special from paying for porn.

      You literally get the most special content by paying for porn, personalized content that’s catered to your needs. That’s literally why you pay for it.

      Yes, if I just want to see regular old sex I can just go to one of the bazillion free sites out there. But if I have a specific fetish that only a few creators are doing, of course it’s worth paying for it to support the production of said content, especially if their onlyfans allows requests.

      I totally understand that the vast majority of people are more than satisfied with typical porn and won’t ever feel the need to pay for it, but there’s so much diversity out there that the regular porn sites can’t get to it all, and that’s why some people pay for it, because they really want to scratch a specific itch.

      And before someone says you can just pirate it, trust me, some stuff you can’t even find pirated. I’ve been there. Some creators go through very convoluted methods of distributing their content to deter piracy (especially with pricier tiers fans usually don’t want to spread it to keep it exclusive to themselves).

        I really doubt the majority of people paying for OF are getting content specifically made for them. This is a weird argument.

      While I don’t disagree…. I’d just like to say, that if you pay enough for porn, you can get exactly what you’re looking for.

      ROI isn’t worth it though.
