Completely agree! The entire adult content platform has become nothing more than a monetization machine for platforms like OnlyFans. GoneWild was once about people expressing themselves and sharing their art without the pressure of making a quick buck. Now it’s all about selling subscriptions and getting clicks. The whole industry has been ruined by commercial interests prioritizing profit over passion and community. Same thing with Patreon, where creators are expected to churn out content just to keep their fans engaged rather than doing what they actually love. And don’t even get me started on the algorithm-driven news feeds that suck the soul out of social media. Commercialization has absolutely destroyed the integrity and creativity of online platforms. We’re losing the very things that made them worth using in the first place.
This is completely incoherent. An “industry” does not have the ability to ruin people’s free expression.
Anyone who wants to create something for other people, without asking for anything in return, is still free to do so. And I assume they are (at least, they are in niche communities - I don’t know of a gonewild equivalent but I know of people who make games for fun and they’re not hard to find, either).
It’s sad that so many people have taken a cheap payout in the most crass possible way, but all that means is that you need to look harder for the content you want.
I would prefer it that way if it meant they were all professional and ensure proper age vetting, but it seems like even that is lost.
now it’s just flashing genatils not even a face is attached to the body
It was always that, partially because people didn’t want their livelihood affected by having nudes on the Internet. With the rise of an option where having nudes on the Internet can be their livelihood, there’s more faces in those pictures.
The better option would be for people to feel free to express themselves this way without worrying about their livelihood.
90% are sex workers but you’re right. Mods should ban any account that has external links meant to sell something. Gonewild was about having fun and now it went to shit like reddit.
Edit: Same thing for amateur communities. I report them as spam, it’s annoying.
Call me old fashioned but I really miss being a hoe (respectfully) for the sake of it. Then again I hate transactional relationships so OF and the like is a total mood killer.
On the other hand sex work is work so by all means get what you need to get by / thrive.
Word, get that bag… but I ain’t about it
Everything is just a grift now so not surprising
Capitalism reduces everything to transactional relationships
Eh, I’m gonna play the devil’s advocate here but when I thought about it, I’d say it’s more like a human nature or common sense. I can imagine a person who feels excited by posting spicy pictures online in 2011 and then realizing “You mean people are willing to pay for this shit?”
willing to pay for this
Capitalism. You shouldn’t strive to profit off doing things you enjoy. The profit motive IS the problem.
Or maybe you shouldnt be telling people how to live their lives? Even fans of communism have dictatorial tendencies.

These phonies just think if they cosplay commie they can become the dear daddy of these stupid peasants and lead into a revolution…
A certain type of person
I’ve been a member on a website that’s quite well known in my country for over 15 years. It’s like adult Facebook where people post nudes and it’s all free.
Recently however people have more and more started using it for advertising their OF and what I find funny/interesting is how I can tell most of these profiles simply by looking at their pictures as they always have this certain “onlyfans look” to them.
I’ve never used OF myself but the feeling I get from these profiles is that it’s way too obvious that they’re doing it for the money. There’s a completely different vibe to someone’s profile who just wants to show off because it’s exciting to them.
If there’s a pink stick coming out, its 100% onlyfans.
Explain more, what is this pink stick? I’m out of the loop.
It’s a reference to a specific Internet connected adult toy called a lush3. Cam Girls and only fans people connect them to their chats so the fans can control how much it vibrates. Since it’s Wi-Fi connected it has a tail that sticks out to improve the connection.
To add to that, most of the time cam girls don’t even turn the thing on, and do an incredibly over exaggerated reaction to the sound the chat makes when someone gives a tip, and videos of this get posted unironically to any nsfw forum/board/sub/community, as if it is high quality enjoyable content.
