I’m curious to know how Onlyfans has managed to thrive in the era of online free content and piracy.

I mean, why would anyone want to pay for pron when it is readily accessible or available?

And how has Onlyfans content somehow managed to escape being pirated (or has it being ripped and shared online too)? If it is being shared or is readily available, do most people not know they can also source this content free?

I suppose I’m just curious to understand the pron ecosystem and how onlyfans content has somehow circumvented the perceived pitfalls of piracy.

Not a connoisseur, so take what I say with a grain of salt but… Isn’t the appeal of it, the significant personal interaction? You can’t get that by ripping a couple vods. The ability to live chat (and throw paid messages their way), and have them respond, seems irreplaceable.

That’s interesting. So the main attraction (so to speak) is the illusion of intimacy or personalisation. The actual pron just enables or caters to the illusion ?

If Onlyfans is pirated, though, it seems to miss the main appeal of it. Nonetheless, are there dedicated trackers or search engines for the content, and does the content also give an indication of the ‘personal’ interactions?

Listen, OnlyFans isn’t porn. It’s something entirely different.

Let me explain. You remember when you first saw a porn vid and immediately envisioned yourself fucking the woman in place of the guy?

Well now, there is no guy. It’s just her. And she’s only interested in you, and she’s not just being naughty with you and surprising you with nudes (sometimes free ones - sometimes very naughty free ones), but she’s also asking how your day was and telling you good morning and good night every day to the point that you almost believe her when she says your dick is so huge and she wants it inside her…

You starting to get the picture? Porn is free because it’s porn. That’s not porn, that’s an experience.

Not much difference between strippers and onlyfans models, just a computer. Both are just doing what it takes to get more money out of the simp.

Not much of a porn person either. But OnlyFans vs normal porn feels like shopping at your local store vs a big box chain

I think this is entirely the reason…

And ultimately to be replaced by chatbots without them knowing.

To be frank, I think the victims of the epidemic of loneliness that plagues our society is nothing to look down upon.

Why would you assume I was talking about the people? So you could pretend to be superior somehow? I was saying the same thing you claim to be.
