My dumbass didn't think "damn Spotify doesn't pay artists"
Instead I immediately thought "damn more people are paying for their onlyfans than listening to their music"

I'm a girl, in a healthy BMI and with nice hair, pretty and freckled face, but my feet are super crappy. Like, crusty, toes bend at weird angles, hard skin in random places. Even my own husband is like "plz no, stop" if they get too near to him.
I'm now wondering if there's a market on the other end of the scale...
There is. There’s a fetish for everything. Certainly when it involves your feet, I’d ask your husband if he’d be ok with some internet strangers paying you every month to see your feet, the worst is he says no, and on the other hand if he says yes you have a second source of easy income
He'd probably have empathy pains for any future subscribers.
I used to know a dude that would have gotten hard at your written description here. No bullshit. Dude was obsessed with feet, and what he called "real feet" were his particular favorite. Feet that had seen some life, had been used was one of the few things he would talk about. Literally obsessive about feet.
I guarantee he is not the only one. The only question is if there's enough like that to make any useful money out of a feet only business.
There's something about foot fetishists that's extra obsessive compared to any other fetishists I've run across over the years.
See, I can kinda get it for some elegant and well kept ones and I'd definitely down for some foot play in such cases. But I don't know if that would even classify as a foot fetish when I constantly hear about how bad people have it for the (pardon) "ugly" and unkempt ones, which I just find weird.
But yeah... I mean, there's like 8 billion people on this planet. There's always some niche where one fits into that would get someone off and could be capitalized if they'd be willing to do so. Just keep in mind that you're, in the end, still selling your body for sex in a way.
To be honest, I'd rather sell my body for sex instead of selling my body to backbreaking warehouse work

Post pictures of them on Onlyfans.
Add the caption "I will release a new photo, closer than the previous, every hour until my subscriber goal is met."
It is my first belief that, given a proper pitch, ANYTHING can be sold at a profit.
Also, there's rule 34: If a thing exists, it's someones fetish.
If it exists there is porn of it... Not sure where you got that other version from

The article contradicts the heck out of itself.
Says billboard estimates she earns roughly $4k a day from Spotify streams. Then they speculate she makes roughly 8k a month from OnlyFans.
That would be like $120k a month from Spotify and $8k a month from OnlyFans.
That is FAR from more money from OnlyFans. Even if those numbers are hugely off I don't see how the discrepancy would be THAT large.
The article didn't contradict itself since it did not make the claim that she made more money from Only Fans, the celebrity did. They just posted the estimated revenue from both services which doesn't match up with what she said. The only conclusions we can come up with is either their estimation is completely off or she was exaggerating her example.
That also happens to be exactly the kind of math error AI is notorious for making. I bet the article was written by AI and likely not even proofread by a human.
Or it wasn't making any kind of claim and just posting what the celebrity claimed and providing estimated revenue from both service based on what she claimed. Why are you falsely blaming this on AI for no reason?

Damn, spotify truly is a scourge to artists.
Yep, spotify pays a fraction of what napster, tidal, and apple music pay while raking in record profits each year.

The entire music industry is built to grift money from musicians and Spotify is a second layer of musician grifting industry built on the first.

Some years ago, an artist who was not a mega-star but was on all the major music services published an article detailing how well each one paid. I'm now kicking myself for not bookmarking it. I clearly remember Spotify being among the worst, if not the worst.
The musician I saw last week mentioned that he'll get more money if you buy a CD from him now than if you stream his catalog on spotify for the rest of your life.
Snoop Dogg said he got 45k for a billion streams.

I have very a pair beautiful feet, with a strong arch. All toes included. Offers in PM.
I'm not a huge Lily Allen fan, but her first album was incredible.

Holy shit. I have feet. Does anyone want pictures of a guy's feet? They're big and weirdly shaped.

Good for her. If I thought there was a market for my disgusting claws I'd sell feet pics too.
Something I've noticed in British media as of late is that OnlyFans makes some serious money - enough so that a creator can essentially use local journalism as an outlet for promoting their page.
I doubt some of the figures, but if you were to dig into them you'd probably see that number after the media have basically told people "look! Lily Allen has OnlyFans!"
Alongside that, funny enough, OnlyFans is probably one of the UK's biggest tech success stories. They make a lot of money, have only a few employees, and are basically leaders in their field. That's probably another weighing towards this being a promo piece.

Spotify is a fucking racket
I wonder how much her record label makes from her music on Spotify...

Perhaps this just means people value her feet more than music? I'm not into feet, but I really didn't like her music, so maybe this is reasonable.

Seeing how this thread is full of hate for Spotify by seeming large number of people who are fans of streaming music/podcast services, I'll pos this question here:
What are the better alternatives for someone seeking to get their favored audios, in terms of library selection, able to form custom playlists and how much if any support to the artist/content creator actually gets to them and what is pocketed by the app?
I don't think there's all-in-one best option
library size
Deezer
how much is paid to the creator
Bandcamp
