An Unmodern Man
Fapstronaut
This is a long post that I spent quite a while putting together. If you have the time to read this, I would greatly appreciate hearing your thoughts below. There are many potential triggers below for people trying to abstain from all sorts of different fetishes. I also mention several models by name.
Considering that I'm writing this for a website devoted to quitting porn, it goes without saying that those reading this post view the rapid changes that the rise of internet pornography had on society to be, on the whole, negative. We all understand how much of an impact something like porn can have on an enormous number of people without being front-page news. My proposition here is that the rise of OnlyFans will be every bit as damaging to society as the rise of internet porn has been.
OnlyFans launched in 2016, but didn't catch on very much until 2018. Since then, it's popularity has skyrocketed, with ever-increasing numbers of girls making accounts and an ever-increasing number of men joining to spend a seemingly never-ending amount of money on them. Girls really started raking it in over the past two years, with many posting about how much they're making. It started with the most successful making $20k, $30k, etc. As it continued to grow, the numbers just kept getting bigger. $100k year. $100k in a month. Celebrity Bella Thorne recently debuted on the site, and broke their record by pulling in $1 million in her first 24 hours, and another million within the first week.
Let's break down those numbers a little bit more. $1 million in 24 hours is $41,666 every single hour. That's significantly more than the average individual income in the United States. Again, in one hour. For 24 hours. On her first day.
It didn't surprise me in the slightest that Bella Thorne was the first major celebrity to make a adult-focused OnlyFans. She's openly posted kinky stuff on her Instagram before, directed a porn film in 2019, and has been pretty open to sexual stuff in public. She will not, however, be the last. On the contrary, she is only the first of what will become a mass movement of celebrity girls onto the platform. Now, I'm not saying you're going to wake up tomorrow to Emma Watson launching her account (I doubt she ever would). Others, though, have got to be thinking it over. Think of the underwear models who practically already post OnlyFans-worthy content. I genuinely think that if someone like Alexis Ren or Emily Ratajakoswki made their own, they would rake in significantly more than Bella Thorne did. Jordyn Jones already posted on Instagram joking about having made one. At a certain point, what's the downside for them? Hot female celebrities are basically guaranteed to make a million dollars in a day just for launching one, regardless if they're actually posting nudes or not.
There really isn't an argument against what I just said. It's all numbers being broken down. I think that few would disagree. Here's the part where I might start losing people, though: that's a sign of a deeply, deeply fucking sick society. While aspiring doctors and rocket scientists are typically motivated by more than pure financial desires, the pay that they get gives them a certain prestige that helps make the grueling, years-long training they undergo at universities worth it.
OnlyFans is turning that on its head. Now, obviously the average girl who starts up an account there isn't going be raking in six-figures overnight. It actually does take a great deal of determination and consistency to become successful there when you don't already have millions of fans already. But we have to realize the society that is being born by these developments.
The society that we are entering into is one where young girls are growing up learning that some of their role models are becoming obscenely rich by monetizing their bodies and attention. Faced between years of school coupled with taking on tens of thousands of dollars in debt for the opportunity to make $45k a year or the prospect of attracting enough attention to make that in a few months, who can blame them for opting for the later?
The truth of the matter is that many girls will go for the later. Some won't be successful at all and quickly return to a non-OF career field. Some will be somewhat successful, which will help them to get through college. Others will strike is massively rich, and will have OnlyFans & related services as their sole income. Those girls will make more than some of the best and brightest in this world. It will become normal for girls graduating high school and in college to make accounts dedicated to selling explicit content of themselves. Guys' girlfriends will have dozens of other guys (cucks) sending them money just for a chance to talk to them. Girls who don't want to put in the hours at a 9-5 or some other industry will turn to OnlyFans as a way to escape more traditional work culture. It could even become normal in order to get a girl that you need to subscribe to her OnlyFans, or tip her to get her number, attention, etc.
So, here's what it all boils down to. If you've read all this and are okay with the society that I just described, then by all means subscribe to OnlyFans. Give away your money. Some guys give away one hell of a lot of it, far more than they'll ever donate in charity. If not, though, then vow to never spend a single dollar more on that site, or any other related site. If every member stopped spending today, this entire issue would go away. Unfortunately, I don't see that happening any time soon, and we are in all likelihood hurtling towards a culture so foreign that I barely recognize it. I certainly want no part in it. Join me, and opt-out.
