This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

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.

I've dated pic sellers, and yeah you've summed it up. Sex work is work, and it's mostly a sales job

And more lucrative on average.

IIRC the average creator on OF makes less than a dollar a month

...this kind of hurt my heart.

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?

the incel mind cannot fathom a woman doing a thing for her own enjoyment

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Genuine question, are there people out there who would do this for fun? Because it sounds like a lot of work to me.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 days ago

I'd say it was more common in the past, and then a lot of them realised they can do it for money. Same with youtube.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 days ago

They exist, and they would terrify you. Yes, even the attractive ones. Especially the attractive ones.

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.

[–] [email protected] 174 points 1 week ago (1 children)

on onlyfans, like most platforms, the vast majority of people make little to nothing

Managed my friends only fans for a bit, we got her account to top 4.5%. She brought in ~$1.5K on a good month. One time we got up to $2K. This is with her having done porn with a few big studios and having a decent amount of followers on Twitter. There is no Discovery feature or feed on OF, you have to direct them there through a direct link. Had to keep a consistent production schedule, deal with inquires from patrons. Successfully running and only fans is like running a business, people don't simply give you money.

I imagine it’s as easy to make money off of as YouTube or Twtich, almost impossible.

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).

Sounds like anon could had made her day by just talking to her

[–] [email protected] 175 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Frankly, I’m glad she was spared the trouble. I can’t imagine they’d be able to offer words of encouragement without seeming intensely parasocial. A generic “you’re hot” wouldn’t have amounted to much. It doesn’t seem like there’s a correct answer, besides finding her irl, flashing her unlocked onlyfans, and begging for her socks

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

A generic “you’re hot” wouldn’t have amounted to much.

I was reading the debate at Lemmy NSFW about downvotes. There was a comment made by one of the content creators about lack of meaningful comments were kind of demoralizing. I try to give genuine compliments cause it's not easy putting nude photos of yourself to the internet. The internet can be brutal place out there.

Meaning upvotes and bland comments are nice however they don't replace genuine human interactions that we all seek.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 days ago

That’s interesting, I just assumed 95% of the posts in nsfw communities were from management firms and collectors.

[–] [email protected] 63 points 1 week ago

Your post ended in a way I was not expecting.

[–] [email protected] 62 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I think this is the Hallmark original romcom I need in my life.

Anon experiences empathy for once in their miserable life.
One of the few legit greentexts. lol

[–] [email protected] 82 points 1 week ago (4 children)

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?

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.

[–] [email protected] 86 points 1 week ago (6 children)

if you're a gooner

if you're not a creep

Good luck with that Venn diagram.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago

Would two circles on top of each other, but offset by 2 micrometers still count as a Venn diagram?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

There's a whole ... sliver of us! I may not even be speaking of the royal "we"!

I know that girl's pain. I, too, want to be a massive whore but nobody wants me. 😔

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 days ago

You can be my whore.

Some girls aren't in it for the money or fame, they just like posting nudes
