>>72230Crawling back? I've seen many who have a backup, and if OF implodes they'll just move elsewhere. There's no harm to them beyond a following, no? It's look like they'll lose their base, but I didn't have alt socials for lewds for years, and I still look up various models by just plugging their name into a search. I've a retarded expanse of names in my head, can't imagine how involved the ones that pay must be, these girls would be absolutely fine.
I don't think it behooves you nor the one's you're criticising to be so adversarial in general, these are real people.
Forgive me if I'm stating the obvious but I'm unsure people understand how much of a game changer it is to have a platform that is as easy to set up as a Patreon for sex workers. Yes, there's newer copycat sites, but we all still use Youtube over Vimeo, etc for very similar reasons.
The digital logistics is all sorted for you, it's so convenient and easy to post with a level of relatively assured exclusivity that it opens up many, who wouldn't go that direction otherwise, to become part of the industry, too.
Everything is moving from product to service, and this entirely includes porn. The exclusivity and exchange you engage in has moved from traditional porn sites, a funhouse club of "stars" where you access the girls or a viewing of them, to a direct window to a specific model's perceived sexual life.
You're participating and choosing to perpetuate an ongoing parasocial fantasy girlfriend experience monetised and leveraging upon perceived exclusivity and engagement. That's what it is. It's unsexy but it's worth being cognizant of at the end of the day. I think many of us lose sight of that.
I've paid for Tinder and it's gotten me nowhere fast. We're all trying to make a living, we're all suckers in one way or another, just take care of yourself.
