This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Yeah my husband seems to think onlyfans is easy money, like I could just post a nude and money would come rolling in magically, talks about how much big earners are making on YouTube too, but hustling like that is so much harder than having a job, you have to be organized and ambitious and then for every one person making thousands, there are many thousands of people making pennies.

It's so much easier to just have a job.

I've dated pic sellers, and yeah you've summed it up. Sex work is work, and it's mostly a sales job

IIRC the average creator on OF makes less than a dollar a month

And more lucrative on average.

I know that girl's pain. I, too, want to be a massive whore but nobody wants me. 😔

[–] death_to_carrots@feddit.org 30 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Don't be the whore the world wants, but the world deserves.

This happened to a girl I knew that tried to make some money on onlyfans during Covid lockdown. Only lasted 4 months, even though she was pretty attractive. I think guys just assume that as a girl, you can simply post nudes online and make money, while it actually does require consistent effort, marketing skills, and a bit of luck.

[–] morrowind@lemmy.ml 173 points 3 days ago (1 children)

on onlyfans, like most platforms, the vast majority of people make little to nothing

Managed my friends only fans for a bit, we got her account to top 4.5%. She brought in ~$1.5K on a good month. One time we got up to $2K. This is with her having done porn with a few big studios and having a decent amount of followers on Twitter. There is no Discovery feature or feed on OF, you have to direct them there through a direct link. Had to keep a consistent production schedule, deal with inquires from patrons. Successfully running and only fans is like running a business, people don't simply give you money.

[–] vaionko@sopuli.xyz 39 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Making money requires work

That comes as a surprise for many people

There's a bit on the Netflix Pornhub documentary from a camgirl. She notes that she does her own marketing, lighting, camera work, etc., and every once in a while, she masturbates on camera. It's a real job with real effort.

[–] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 30 points 3 days ago (3 children)

It's like sex work is work.

I know so many people trying to make it as streamers who cannot seem to understand that you have to do a lot of work to make anything catch on unless you are crazy lucky/extremely attractive. A regular person playing a game isn't interesting for others and it takes energy for most to cultivate a following.

I imagine it’s as easy to make money off of as YouTube or Twtich, almost impossible.

[–] 2ugly2live@lemmy.world 50 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

I know it's probably fake, but I low key think this is the experience of most women, online or not. Men like to think women can just ring a bell and get dick and companionship, judging off of, like, the cream of the crop of women and their (apparent) track record. It's not always that easy, especially if you aren't attractive. A lot of men don't fuck for personality.

~~Obligatory not all men, yes there are shallow women, and yes it is also hard for men to find partners, and yes they have their own struggles and pressures that make their struggle unique to them.~~

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 29 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I mean, they probably could, but what's available to them isn't exactly the cream of the crop either.

[–] Kit@lemmy.blahaj.zone 21 points 2 days ago

I imagine it's similar to the gay male experience - I could get a hookup any time of day easily, but the guys aren't relationship material.

Damn I remember this post from when I was on 4chan still. OP did provide links and his story was 100% true. The girl wasn't ugly, just kinda plain but almost every pic of her somehow exuded despair, and that was honestly offputting (except for the kind of creeps who get off on that I reckon).

Lil tiddy supermarket goth girl sounds cute tbh, or maybe I just have a type.

Anyway, girls like this can be a real gem to find if you're a gooner. Their small fan base means if you're not a creep there's a chance of genuine interaction. She'll probably take request and if she likes you might even send you free content.

[–] exasperation@lemm.ee 86 points 3 days ago (6 children)

if you're a gooner

if you're not a creep

Good luck with that Venn diagram.

[–] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 day ago

Would two circles on top of each other, but offset by 2 micrometers still count as a Venn diagram?

Imagine equating selling of ones dignity to selling ones pics.

Top Victorian mind, after the morphine clears.

The funny thing is that if this greentext linked this girl OnlyFans, she would gain tons of views just out of pity.

Some of these would even stick around afterwards.

[–] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 day ago

Nah, the post would be removed and OP would get a temp ban (or whoever posted the link).

[–] shortrounddev@lemmy.world 57 points 3 days ago (4 children)

Some girls aren't in it for the money or fame, they just like posting nudes

[–] ChexMax@lemmy.world 37 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Right, but aren't those girls in it for the attention? The thrill? Sounds like she's not getting any attention, either.

Sounds like anon could had made her day by just talking to her

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 174 points 3 days ago (4 children)

Frankly, I’m glad she was spared the trouble. I can’t imagine they’d be able to offer words of encouragement without seeming intensely parasocial. A generic “you’re hot” wouldn’t have amounted to much. It doesn’t seem like there’s a correct answer, besides finding her irl, flashing her unlocked onlyfans, and begging for her socks

[–] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

A generic “you’re hot” wouldn’t have amounted to much.

I was reading the debate at Lemmy NSFW about downvotes. There was a comment made by one of the content creators about lack of meaningful comments were kind of demoralizing. I try to give genuine compliments cause it's not easy putting nude photos of yourself to the internet. The internet can be brutal place out there.

Meaning upvotes and bland comments are nice however they don't replace genuine human interactions that we all seek.

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago

That’s interesting, I just assumed 95% of the posts in nsfw communities were from management firms and collectors.

There are a lot of people whod appreciate her features so its surprising she didnt get any attention. Maybe anon made up the story and is actually into men?

Anon experiences empathy for once in their miserable life.
One of the few legit greentexts. lol

[–] GaMEChld@lemmy.world 41 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Know your worth and know where you are valued.

This can sound really deep, but it works for shallow too. I'm sorry girl, but the whore market is saturated and very competitive.

[–] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 48 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, she really should wait until OP's mom retires.
