What scam? These are all upfront deals. Content is actually delivered.
"impersonating the women in conversations with their subscribers" Is the idea that since the subscribers should know that it isn't the model that it doesn't matter that it isn't the model?

> The comparisons some have made to infidelity or cheating seem misplaced: There's no real relationship here Oh, but there is plenty of platonic relationships with camgirls, streamers and such. It can reach levels of delusion that you wouldn't believe.
For the models it is still only a business relationship, except in very rare cases. By the same token, prostitution can also be a meaningful personal relationship, as shown in the movie Pretty Woman.

Aversion to sex work aside, how’s this different than some of what’s done in Silicon Valley? Uber will happily extract the remaining equity in your car as you teeter on the brink of homelessness at which point DoorDash will be happy to make you your own boss. Maybe I’m just jaded because it’s hard to find a place to rent wherever there’s a booming market for Airbnb rentals.
If you haven’t lived in either place, it’s difficult to understand. Capitalism abounds in both, but is expressed in very different ways in each place. The cultures are just wildly different. As a native Californian, I find Florida’s culture to be smarmy and tasteless, with people shamelessly flaunting designer labels and consuming conspicuously. Being seen is super important to a lot of Floridians. (It also goes a lo…

> societal downsides become more and more apparent not sure, but in the greater picture of overpopulation, porn seems to be a cheap and effective measure compared to medical/physical alternatives.
I guess when your benchmark is genocide, it doesn’t seem like that big of a deal.

On one hand, sure, the customer paid to talk to a specific model, and sure, scamming is wrong. On the other hand, those conversations are already so artificial and staged (and customers know it!) that it doesn't matter who has them. A service is definitely being provided, no harm done, just like "sending a post asking for an autograph" as someone below described.
I've noticed that there is a huge amount of these models, including many Russians, offering "dick ratings". I always felt it likely at least some of these are managed by FSB as a way to gain blackmail material on western citizens. I have no evidence that's the case, except that it would be extremely doable and probably very effective.
I have a lot of trouble begrudging anybody anything in this, even though I don't like it. The models who own the pages can't possibly give everyone in their subscriber base what they want. The subscribers are looking for a product, and they're getting it. The comparisons some have made to infidelity or cheating seem misplaced: There's no real relationship here, except a business relationship, and expecting a random w…
I don’t think 70% is unreasonably high for a fully-featured agency doing everything from marketing, management, etc. The value-add in this industry is not the model - there are plenty of beautiful women willing to take nudes in the world. The hard part is actually finding and extracting money from paying customers - cross-promoting with other models, spamming a million posts on every nsfw subreddit, having a human ca…
Do you give up X % of your business for a cash injection or go it alone? With the cash it could be a billion $ company, without it just a side gig worth -$'s.

I know a person who in the last years moved from doing sex work in the physical world, to using OnlyFans and other online resources since Covid began. Initially, she didn't offer "dick ratings" but there was so many requests for her to do it, that she started doing it. Now most of her profits is simply from people who want her to rate their dick. She's not Russian or have any affiliation to Russia. I think people are…
Simply submit the relevant evidence, and in two to four weeks, you receive a 15 page report, stamped by the Inspector of Dicks. I mean, that's how I'm imagining it.
The replies she commonly give people are more like "That's a pathetic cock, I'd never want anything to do with it and I'm sure others hate it too 2/10" or "Wow, what a grandiose dick, a master among plebs, 9/10", and anything in-between, depending on what it seems like the person wants to hear.
The times we've talked about it, it seems most people want to be degraded, which seems a bit self-destructive, but I don't know them and won't judge whatever they are into. People be strange!

wouldn't call it genocide because it is not a selective measure. but yea, "preventing births" does qualify

That's a bit of a strange situation. I can't get angry about something like this. On one hand, sure, the customer paid to talk to a specific model, and sure, scamming is wrong. On the other hand, those conversations are already so artificial and staged (and customers know it!) that it doesn't matter who has them. A service is definitely being provided, no harm done, just like "sending a post asking for an autograph"…
Do you know that for a fact? It's hard for me to understand the minds of these subscribers, but surely, if they're so invested in one particular model, of course it would matter to them.
