    It is a rule of thumb in businesses that 80% fail within 5 years. It is the same with anything who are looking for fame and success; only 20% succeed. And even within those 20%, only like 10% are considered in the A-list.

    Anyhow, I am curious why this girl felt the need to expose herself. Is it for money? Does she feel insecure and needs validation? Or both?

    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.

    Imagine equating selling of ones dignity to selling ones pics.

      Someone linked what they think was the person in a comment, at best they went to a lot of effort for very little in return.

    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.

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

        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.

    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.

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

        You’re saying that the only girls who have onlyfans are those who don’t truly have the stomach for it? In reality, there’s a lot of overlap between fetish communities and OF

    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.

    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).

      Not without a sob-story from the girl. Doubt she did it for the money. Someone with the time and commitment to doing this(if not energy or enthusiam) she demonstrated would make better money doing just about anything else.

    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.

      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.

        Yeah, you can see this for yourself if you have a VR headset and a couple of sites have VR cams set up.

        Mostly they forget they exist (although I’m grateful for the ones that don’t), so you get a kind of behind the scenes look at it all.

        The one thing that strikes me is their demeanour the instant they’re off the main cam. These girls are so fucking done with everything and everyone, and it’s not surprising most of them quit after a month or two. Most of them are probably getting a fraction of the money tipped, with a good chunk going to the handlers (a lot of pretend typing going on, and they get directed by the person at the keyboard) and room rent (much of it seems to be in the same handful of buildings somewhere in St Petersburg). Many of them are on multiple sites at once, with phone apps on the go as well.

        It’s a real business.

      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.

        My cousin dropped out of university after a few months, and wanted to be a pro gaming streamer instead.

        Oddly enough he never did achieve that, and now mostly sits around his parent’s house doing quite a lot of being depressed.

    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?
