    Nice. I would definitely do the same if I found a girl I knew.

    Would that not make you a “simp” then, C?

    99.9999999999999% of them make nothing worth mentioning . It's very much like gamers, where some make a lot of money, but millions of them just play games in their moms basement and make zero, and have no viewers.

    Even if someone I knew was doing it, I'd just wait for the pics to leak. Onlyfans content is never going to just stay on that site

    It's a website though, not just an app.

    Leaks happen all the time. I know there was one a few years ago of Cork girls that was shared around.

    No such thing as a photo or video clip on the internet that can't be recorded and anyone posting to a site such as onlyfans with that belief is an idiot.

    Even without looking for them (or even wanting to see them tbh) the shots Kerry Katona put on hers were all over Twitter days after she posted them.

    It's hardly a "career' with any longevity, though. The core demand in erotica/porn has always been for women in the 18 to 25 age bracket. What happens when she's 25+ and her fans move on to younger, newer models?



    It's a bit absurd to claim that any man who enjoys looking at images of attractive women has "mental issues that need to be addressed." How is it any different from having a subscription to Playboy? It also comes with some degree of interaction with the model, which I'm sure is part of the appeal.




    When she's 25+ she will still have fans and be making money. There are grannies on there making more than doctors who have many years of work behind them. I don't think you have an understanding of the depths of male desperation and weirdness out there

    Who has a subscription to Playboy these days? There are copious amounts of sites where you can watch porn for free. I think many men on there derive pleasure from the process of handing money over to the women. The women probably see the men as pathetic and the men enjoy knowing that. There's specific genres of porn dedicated to that type of emasculation so there must be some demand out there and all of those men would flock to OnlyFans. Try telling people in your life that you are a subscriber to womens OnlyFans accounts. There is a good reason you keep it a secret.

    The New York Times (link above) interviewed Elle Morocco, a 36-year-old Florida woman who "has made just $250 on the platform so far, despite sometimes spending upward of eight hours a day creating, posting and promoting her content."

    Ms Morocco joined OnlyFans in November and the article was published in January, implying she made $250 (€206) in about two months, despite spending eight hours a day creating/promoting content. So much for earning more than many doctors.

    This goes back to what I said before. A small number of people are making a lot of money on OnlyFans, but the vast majority are not raking in riches or anything like it.

    According to this blog post on the economics of OnlyFans, the top 1% of accounts make 33% of all the money. The top 10% of accounts make 73% of all the money. But the median account makes just $180 (€148) a month.

    That's believable.

    Take the number of Irish lads who would look at porn (say 90%)
    How many would pay for a subscription to porn? (Maybe 2%)
    How many would pay for an OnlyFans when theres far better paid for alternatives? (Maybe 0.5%)
    How many would pay for an Irish girls OnlyFans when theres so many alternatives? (0.1%?)
    How much money is there in that 0.1% to pay every Irish OnlyFans girl a decent wage?

    Sweet F. A.
    For every 1 girls saying she's making enough to live on(maybe supplementing the dole) , there's another 100 who need to hold down a job.
    Unless Irish OnlyFans girls have an international appeal, and I mean, we're not famous for our lookers, unless pale and ginger is your thing.

    It's media, and same as all media, it makes the most on box office weekend. Every week after that it makes less and less, there's always some new flavour of the month.

    Indeed. I know a fellah forever sending poorly chosen jewellery and dvd box sets from series on the sci-fi channel to a girl with a wishlist as long as yours truly's 8AM loaf (an onerous, dehydrated big stone boulder of a thing, which stayed on the precipice half in half out for one quarter of an hour, any time I tried to press the muscles I could feel a ligament tear coming on or a sprain, eventually it was reswallowed back up the chute and I had try again). Some of these girls make a killing from lads still living in their parents' house in their early thirties in port laoise or port arlington. Nerds are easy pickings for these girls and I say fair fecks to them. The lads are corpses and these girls are the carrion crows come in from Indiana, Missouri, South Africa. Whenever I see untouched Star-Trek and Buffy and Angel Boxsets in second hand shops I just know its excess stock from the lamia.

    As they say, don't hate the player hate the game. Fair play to women making money off this. You have to say that women are showing a higher intellect here and coming out on top.

    With the microtransaction nature of it, I would say a lot more. You can get your tv shows for free, but a lot of people still subscribe to Netflix. You can get all your music for free, but a lot of people still subscribe to Spotify etc.

    My understanding of onlyFans is that you are subscribging to a girl for a few euro per month. When its that small, and they probably only intend to subscribe for a month or two, many people don't think about it. It's only when, later down the road that they are subscribed to more than half a dozen different girls that they might start appreciate it's real money and start unsubscribing from the ones that they don't really enjoy any more.

    I'd imagine the fact that they are Irish is a huge bonus, especially for for Irish guys. The thought that this is a local girl, who could easily be that girl who lives down the road, works in the same office, meets in the pub etc is a massive turn-on compared to some "generic pornstar" from halfway around the world (the porno world is flooded with "generic" pornstars). Similarly, for the millions of men globally on the website, it's "something different/rare" etc.

    If there were even 2,000 guys willing to subscribe (and I would imagine it's a lot more and growing), and even if they are typically only spending €20 per month, that's still 40K per month up for grabs. I would imagine it is a lot higher, and with the sub money from international fans, there's easily hundreds of thousands up for grabs for Irish girls per month. After that, for an individual girl, it is down to how many irish girls are active at any one time, what they do to distinguish themselves from the other irish girls, and what they do to attract/retain subscriptions.

    I think you're being a bit optimistic there, to be honest.


    Initially, an Irish girl might make a few euro, but then, all it takes is a few news stories about the money coming in, and every Jacinta and Mary will have a page. Then it loses it's appeal and it'd be difficult to make anything off it. Once too many are at it, the pool of available subscriber money is diluted.


    You'd also have to be fairly good looking, or have something different going on. If Mary from the office is riding a dildo each night for her subscribers, and all the lads in the office are interested, it only takes 1 person to subscribe and you've a private whatsapp group sharing everything.


    I don't think it'd be nearly as profitable as you suggest, and I also think it comes with severe societal downsides (whether you agree with them or not). For example, not many men are going to be keen to get with a woman where all of their friends have videos and pictures of her doing sex stuff.


    Ireland is also pretty small in many ways, so reputations can stick, and it'd hamper professional progress, too. So you'd have to be committed to going down the road of being a stripper/prostitute permanently, and preparing for the financial collapse when you hit an older age and no one's interested anymore.


    Also, your money is all 'under the table', so you'd not be buying a house or getting a mortgage or a fancy car without Revenue having a look at you and crucifying you (you could probably pay tax on your onlyfans stuff, but money you make from meeting people/riding/escorting etc. would presumably be unable to be paid tax on).




    It'd be a great position for an 18 year old girl to get involved in, if she was suitably good looking and good at marketing herself, and she planned to move away to a different country or pursue a different career when she had her money made. Although even then, internet activity follows you.




    Personally, I have no issue with women stripping or performing sex acts for money. But the above mentioned social issues are real (see fantaiscool's posts for example), and it'd be foolish to pretend otherwise.

    40k a month is peanuts.

    You'd need to be pulling in at least 2k (no tax) a month to be viable, unless you're on the dole too.

    So 2000 men could sustain 20 girls on just above minimum wage.
    But chances are one of these girls is getting 10k of that 40 and the rest are fighting for scraps.

Then it loses it's appeal and it'd be difficult to make anything off it. Once too many are at it, the pool of available subscriber money is diluted.

    But this is where free market forces come in to play. As the pool is diluted, sellers who aren't making money leave, and so the dilution is reduced leaving those that do attract the most customers (similar to any other business).

    You'd also have to be fairly good looking, or have something different going on.
    That's a common mistake. Most pornstars are not good looking. Don't get me wrong, the girl wouldn't want to be puck-ugly either. But typically, with porn, the fantasy is in the acts/scenario/visuals, not the photogenic posing. The "girl-next-door" getting down and (very) dirty is always the number one fantasy (not the fake-tanned, fake-titted- fake-blonde model that dominates so much "Michael Bay"-style porn).

    If Mary from the office is riding a dildo each night for her subscribers, and all the lads in the office are interested, it only takes 1 person to subscribe and you've a private whatsapp group sharing everything.
    But it's not just the guys from Mary's office. It's the guys from every office (and beyond). Actually knowing the girl would likely be the ultimate thrill, but it's the fact that she looks and sounds like she could work in your office that would be the appeal.

    Also, while everything can be copied form the website, they do make it difficult enough that it's just easier to hit the button to pay the €3 or whatever.

    I don't think it'd be nearly as profitable as you suggest, and I also think it comes with severe societal downsides (whether you agree with them or not). For example, not many men are going to be keen to get with a woman where all of their friends have videos and pictures of her doing sex stuff.

    Oh, I agree about the societal downsides, and it is very unfortunate. The religious/feminists/assholes will always have their say, but we are ignoring them more and more each day (except for the feminists who seem to really have taken over from the religious in terms of media/political influence).

    However, I think there are plenty of guys who would be mature enough and secure enough to ignore that.

    Girlfriend doing it right now? Problem for most guys.
    Girlfriend did it 5-10 years ago? Problem only for weak/shallow/immature guys.
    Ireland is also pretty small in many ways, so reputations can stick, and it'd hamper professional progress, too. So you'd have to be committed to going down the road of being a stripper/prostitute permanently, and preparing for the financial collapse when you hit an older age and no one's interested anymore.
    Never underestimate the popularity of granny porn ;) But seriously, no body aged 18-25 etc ever thinks of the long-term future (jsut look at pension contributions at that age!). I also don't think it would hamper your career all that much. They obviously don't use their real names/locations. And 10 years later very few people would put 2 and 2 together. Besides, I would imagine a good chunk of the girls who do it would see a future in glamour modelling etc rather than civil engineering.

    But, as someone who is a senior manager, with large numbers of people reporting in to me over the years, and having done a lot of hiring (and a bit of firing), it wouldn't feature on my radar at hiring time. And if it did, I can't see how I would give a damn. As for finding out after the fact and the girl already works for me (or even if she wasn't in my reporting line), I would probably have a quite word with her and tell her to let me know if anybody gives her any hassle (and I will fcuk them out faster than they can scream "I'm sorry") - likewise, if I did hear anybody talking badly about her or treating her badly.

    I think most people would consider "tax optional" as a bonus :). Seriously, though. If they had any sense, they would declare (at least some of it) for tax. It's not all that different to any tradesmen/self-employed etc.

    Who's the bigger fool, the people cleaning houses for money, or the bloody idiots who are paying for it?

    Who's the bigger fool, the people servicing cars for money, or the bloody idiots who are paying for it?

    Who's the bigger fool, the people giving financial advice online for money, or the bloody idiots who are paying for it?


    People could likely do all of the above without involving anyone else, yet they pay someone.

    Who's the bigger fool? The girl with the big tits riding a cock in her nice warm room, getting herself off and rolling over to go asleep, or the fella in the freezing cold workshop, with numb fingers changing the oil filter on your car?

    Are you saying you'd fire someone for talking to somebody else about this "Oh yeah Mary in accounts does/did onlyfans" and whatever conversation ensues from that in the canteen say.

    Just like say, someone said "oh yeah, John in accounts, has a YouTube channel" and whatever conversation ensues from that.

    Is that a fireable offence.


  • Registered Users Posts: 309 ✭✭lillycakes2


    Claire Byrnes should of interviewed a woman/girl about this Only Fans website, I felt like they were telling that fella he was a great lad and fair play to him .
    God only knows what his content entails. Sounds like its causing some very serious problems for young vulnerable girls and their families. It shouldnt be taken lightly. That fella made it seem like it was the finest......There is so much more to it than what was discussed or the problems it is causing

    Simply saying "Oh yeah Mary in accounts does/did onlyfans" in itself is not the problem. It is the tone of voice and what happens next.

    If I heard someone simply say it (but not in a malicious manner), I would simply advise them to keep it quite, as it is not good for the team for rumours to be circulating, or that someone they tell may end up mistreating her as a result and it would cause a $hitstorm and possibly get them into trouble too.

    Hell, it reminds of those dumbasses from PWC. Finding a colleague attractive is not a problem. Quietly, among friends, discussing how you find a colleague attractive is not a problem. Writing down a list of "who you find to be the hottest grads" in an email and sending it to colleagues - fired for complete stupidity. Forwarding said email - fired for complete stupidity. Publishing it, along with photos of the girls, on the front page of major newspapers so they can be humiliated in front of their family and friends - that's apparently OK :( (but more to do with the poor standards that passes for journalism these days).

    That PWC thing seems totally different and it was right that such action was taken against those people.

    Why do you use the term rumours. Rumours are untruths.
    That wouldn't be what you'd be dealing with.

    And someone just discussing it surely wouldn't be responsible for someone else's behaviour.

    Actually, it would be very similar. It's all about acting unprofessionally and making the workplace uncomfortable for others.
    Why do you use the term rumours. Rumours are untruths.

    Rumours are not "untruths". Rumours are statements that aren't verified that may or may not turn out to be correct.

    Rumours about what a colleague may or may not have gotten up to in their personal life have no place in the workplace. It's no different to spreading rumours 20 years ago that someone was gay. What business was it of the team? (and what business is it of the team if a girl sold some photos?) - and while some people may be spreading the rumour innocently and not passing judgement, everyone knows that it is only a matter of time before someone learns of it that does use it to abuse the victim.

    Spreading a funny story in good humour/nature is perfectly fine when you know the person the story is about will laugh it off. It's part of normal human bonding. Spreading a malicious story that could embarrass/shame a colleague is bullying; and especially so if the intent of spreading the story is to cause that effect. And I won't tolerate that for a moment. It's not that I am some super anti-bullying vigilante (although I despise bullies), or even that I am worried about lawsuits (and you could very easily end up facing an expensive one). It's simpler than that - it's just that bullying is counter-productive. It's about promoting stupidity, cliques and an unpleasant work environment when a well run org/team tries to do the very opposite.
    And someone just discussing it surely wouldn't be responsible for someone else's behaviour.
    If someone lacks the intelligence to understand that their spreading of this story can have a negative impact on their colleague's life, they have no place on my team.


    Ask yourself this - why would you care if a colleague sold some photos in her past?

    Nobody's talking about making things uncomfortable for anyone. What is being discussed is whether discussing Mary's other job is a fireable offence.

    How far would you take that censorship stance. If her second job was as a stripper (nothing wrong with that, more power to her), would you expect everyone in the office to pretend they knew nothing about it and fire anyone who mentioned it.
    Rumours are not "untruths". Rumours are statements that aren't verified that may or may not turn out to be correct.

    What I mean is this wouldn't be in the realm of rumour (which are statements that often have little basis).
    Mary does have an only fans and a court for example could verify that if someone was fired for mentioning it.



    Rumours about what a colleague may or may not have gotten up to in their personal life have no place in the workplace
    .

    Wouldn't it be her second professional life.
    I'd find it hard to believe an office would say absolutely nothing if, say, she moonlighted as a stripper. Which is basically the same thing (offering a sexual service for money).
    It's no different to spreading rumours 20 years ago that someone was gay.

    That's purely personal. And again the terms "spreading" and "rumours". I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about
    even simply acknowledging that Mary has a second job.
    everyone knows that it is only a matter of time before someone learns of it that does use it to abuse the victim.
    And the person who abuses or bullies her is the one who should be fired.



    Spreading a malicious story that could embarrass/shame a colleague is bullying;

    Again with the terms "spreading" and malicious" and "shame". If someone is doing that to bully someone fire them. But simply acknowledging the truth that she has an onlyfans?
    and especially so if the intent of spreading the story is to cause that effect. And I won't tolerate that for a moment.
    Of course. How would you go about showing robustly it was bullying though and not risk dealing with a case of unfair dismissal of the person who mentioned/discussed it.


    If someone lacks the intelligence to understand that their spreading of this story can have a negative impact on their colleague's life, they have no place on my team
    .

    Again the "spreading".

    Ask yourself this - why would you care if a colleague sold some photos in her past?

    I'd at least be interested to know if she was paying tax on her second profession. :D

    Other than that I wouldnt be interested but some people might be interested for the same reason whether their colleague was a stripper at night. Or a youtuber.

    The people on OFs who are loud and proud and want to be on TV and on front page of news paper are committed to their cause. But there are 1000's upon 1000's on there trying to do it in secret, it will not end well for so many, as it will all end up on porn sites, and they will all be exposed and suffer mentally because of it.
    But as for the ones who want more and more publicity, they seem happy, and know their material will be around for generations to cum .

    Years back I dated a cam girl, did I care that she was a cam girl ? No, did I care what she was doing on these sites ? No, was she makeing good money ? I think so,

    I don’t judge anyone who does it as it’s each to there own, did it cause us to stop dating nope, what caused it to end was we did not really click

    It’s even escorts I don’t judge them at all, if I had a child I would not like them to do it however I have watched enough docs about escorts and quite a lot of time I fell sorry for them and how they end up doing it, watched one on transgender girls in brazil who end up working as sex workers it’s so so sad how it happens as they are transgender they are looked down by everyone and they end up working as a sex worker on the streets to keep a roof over there family’s head this includes mother’s father’s grandparents.

    There is two sides to sex work, ones that are forced into it and the others that randomly end up in it and myself I fell sorry for them and both sides should be supported and helped and not looked at as the worst thing going ..... Like myself I am office worker who works 50 hour weeks to deliver at the top all the time and people judge me for this and wonting to go up the ladder, it’s each to there own if it does not effect you who cares !!!!!!

    Then again, she posts in her bio that she's in the top 0.07% of OnlyFans accounts worldwide. So she's making more than 99.93% of others ... so hardly representative.

    Ah not representative at all.

    And all the money that she's hoovering up is money that's not spread to other OnlyFans wans.

    She's Jeff Bezos and the rest are working in the fulfillment centre :D:D

    This onlyfans “star” on Claire Byrne is very embarrassing. He’s as dull as anything. His looks are quickly fading for me anyway

    Though I’m sure my opinion is very important to him as he’s earning €60,000 a month

    and what's he doing to earn 60k a month???? does he have a big mickey?

    ...
    Spreading stories about someone's private life that they may be embarrassed about or get abuse over is making things uncomfortable and is bullying. I really don't understand how you can't see that.

    As I previously said, someone simply saying it is not in itself the problem. Saying with intent, acting badly, or maliciously is. If Mary tells people, that is fine. If people know and keep it to themselves, that is fine. If people start treating her badly, that is not fine. Such people don't belong on a team or in a professional job.

    Also, in terms firing, I would use the term loosely - I'm really talking about "managing out".

    Spreading stories about someone's private life that they may be embarrassed about or get abuse over is making things uncomfortable and is bullying. I really don't understand how you can't see that.

    The terms "spreading" and "stories" again.

    A story suggests it's made up, not true.
    If Mary has an onlyfans and people talk about Mary having an onlyfans, should those people be "managed out".

    For example if Mary is a teacher and in the staffroom people acknowledge and discuss this then who would you manage out in that scenario.

    Or if Mary was a teacher and worked at night as a stripper, who would you manage out in that scenario. Mary or the people who talked about it.

    I'm being a bit facetious here, I admit, but this follows from what you are saying doesn't it.

    What would you think of a teacher with an onlyfans. The fact she has an onlyfans might be worth acknowledging by other members of staff and doing something about it. Or would you manage the other teachers out.
    As I previously said, someone simply saying it is not in itself the problem. Saying with intent, acting badly, or maliciously is
    .

    I agree.

    Exactly. Women are laughing all the way to the bank. Fair play to them.


    There are plenty of grifters laughing all the way to the bank, I would not say 'fair play to them'.

    Not to the 'romance grifters' that lonley women on line send thousands to for their 'sick mother', 'cash for a plane ticket to visit you' ect.

    Not to 'odd job' grifters that squeeze exorbitant amounts of money from the elderly to clean their gutters

    And not to the Onlyslags peddling parasocial relationships that prey on weak vulnerable men with an addiction to porn who's bank accounts they empty.

    But for some strange reason, men it seems are a perfectly permissable target to grift.
