Honestly, it’s probably one of the few industries where men are paid less than women. I looked into the porn industry during the pandemic and it’s wild, pun intended. Some companies are legit and super concerned about consent and paying people well but others are not (i.e. girlsdoporn). Some production companies are super progressive while others are normal capitalistic ventures with shitty values. Even individual models (e.g. onlyfans models) can be deceiving. Some are “real” in the sense it’s the real model interacting with you while others hire third-world companies to manage their sites. (Aside: be careful not to form parasocial relationships with OF models.)

Yeah, some OF models clearly automate posting ad videos because there will be a video that has a caption and tags that have nothing to do with the content. Probably AI-based, though it might even just be a simple script that randomly picks from a list of captions and tags. Makes me wonder if that’s even effective. Like are the thirst traps there because the women desperately want to gain traction and think that’s how, or are they there because it is an effective way of gaining traction? Because for me personally, it’s more of a turn off or at best neutral if I’m really attracted to her.
