• My partner(30something) is on OnlyFans. It’s as much for her own gratification as the money. It pays for outfits for her clothed alt modelling work. The subscription fees are low to lure in the subscribers but the real money is made by up selling your premium content.
    Plenty of her modelling friends have recently quit their ‘real’ jobs to do it full time(along with other adult modelling/cam work) as the money is there. Like any job based on social media and self-promotion you get out what you put in. There are definitely women(and men) that make a fortune on those platforms but they are in the minority. In my partners case it pays for the odd treat but she enjoys the editing and marketing side of it as well.

    When I were a lad, the money was in stripping. Loads of well known jazz magazine models and quite a few actors and dancers who were barely getting by from their day jobs would make most of their income from 50p-in-the-jug pub stripping. The factors which have killed that industry are for another day.
    The interesting thing about moving from real world to virtual is that the spread of outcomes is so much wider now that its a: worth doing for so little return, since it can be done with so little investment and b: can be incredibly lucrative because an arbitrarily large number of customers can be served for essentially the same input.
    In the pub stripping days, the most successful artists were only making about 5 times what the median stripper was making, the ratio on Onlyfans is going to be a factor of more like 5000

  • Are their parallels to the music industry, I read somewhere that the highest earner pre records I.e. live performance only earnt £x per annum. Once records came out the highest earner earnt £1000x
