    That entire article (and website) is trash, that site shouldn’t be used as a source

    Its literally a complete phrase title, then a single phrase summary, then an article consisting literally of only two single phrase paragraphs, and on to the next article below! Which… Is the same crap

    I feel like we should run honeypots like this, and anyone who falls for it goes right to, like, therapy and “how not to be scammed” training.

    You know, some scams are so obvious that if you fall for it really thats your fault. So really whoever actually falls for a scam like this, its your fault.

      Most functioning societies have laws to protect the most vulnerable among them, and most consider being an uneducated, credulous rube to be a vulnerability. Unfortunately, many modern societies are having trouble functioning these days, leading to the predatory financial hellscape we find ourselves in.

          If you take it a step further, such a society would also have very little content on OnlyFans in the first place, since many of those creators surely do so for lack of other options to make a living, which is caused by many of the same societal ills.

          That said, marketing sex appeal is not, in itself, one of those ills. For example, a prostitute is not necessarily exploitative, but a pimp almost certainly is, especially in a black market.
