Technology Behind Sex WorkShould You Feel Ashamed as an OnlyFans Chatter? Is It the Sex Work or the Potential for Fraud That Raises Concerns?It’s complicatedhttps://preview.redd.it/padxsltlws0d1.jpg?width=6720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3457cf3f3833f5787ed65aa37d88c49e24fac668Photo by RDNE Stock project: Years ago, in the early days of online chat, I found myself caught up in a web of deception. This happened many moons ago, every day at 8 a.m. Manila time, which was 8 p.m. Eastern Time, I would wait until Russell went online. He was from New York and a fireman. And he always did, right on the dot. There were no apps then, all we had was Yahoo Messenger. I’m not proud of what I did — it just happened. It was supposed to be a one-time chat, but instead, it went on for months, until I had to come clean and tell him the truth: that I wasn’t the woman in the photo I sent him. I didn’t even know there was a word for it back then — catfishing. Of course, when the truth was out, and when I never heard from him again, even if there was never money involved, which means I didn’t defraud him in exchange for sex work — I remember not only feeling hurt for a long time. I felt awful for what I did — I lied and pretended to be someone else. OnlyFans ChatterThe Truth About OnlyFansThese days catfishing has taken a new direction, and it is pervasive in the world of online sex work, with the popularity of OnlyFans it gave birth to an army of impersonators known as “chatters.” It isn't easy to make money online, especially from writing. Anyone who promises you can make X amount if you buy their writing course is selling you not only lies but snake oil, and there’s a word for it — scam. But I’m not here to preach, I’m here to understand. I was surprised that my story on sugar dating, and sex work started to have readers. Are people interested in what goes on behind sugar dating apps, with sugar daddies, or mommies? Or is it because sex work, while it remains taboo, is a topic we all like to explore behind the dark walls of our privacy? Online sex work had exploded. We hear a lot of success stories, horrid tales, and even crimes that happen in the industry. A booming industry in countries like the Philippines is an online work that nobody really talks about. If you happen to find yourself enticed to become an OnlyFans chatter, think again. Not only have you entered the rabbit hole of sex work, but you have essentially become a fraudster and in the Philippines, both are considered crimes. OnlyFans models, many of whom started creating content to survive during the pandemic, soon discovered that there is so much money out there, and as always money brings out the worst in all of us. To make more money as an OnlyFans model, you need more subscribers or to convince your existing fans to buy more content. While an OnlyFans subscription is only the beginning, the sky is the limit as to how much an OnlyFans model can make — and there lies the gray area of OnlyFans. To scale their businesses, these models started hiring OnlyFans chatters, people willing to work for pittance in the hope they could make sales that would mean higher commissions from the models. And what do they sell? The OnlyFans model’s exclusive content, which can be as basic as a sex video or a special fetish request from a paying subscriber. As an OnlyFans chatter, you pretend to be the model, you become her even if you are a male chatter. On the other side of the chat, the victim doesn't know he isn't talking to the OnlyFans model but worse to someone who is thousands of miles away, hired as a chatter from a poor country like the Philippines. Worse still, the poor male fan doesn't know he could even be talking to another man pretending to be a woman.

Worse still, the poor male fan doesn't know he could even be talking to another man pretending to be a woman. The insidious economy of scaleIdeogramWho would have thought the capitalist concept of the economy of scale would find its way into the adult content industry? Sex work has come a long way. It used to be a one-on-one transaction, today we have platforms like OnlyFans that allow an adult content creator to become a business in itself, never before seen in the history of sex work. First, let us define the meaning of economy of scale. Economy of scale, in economics, the relationship between the size of a plant or industry and the lowest possible cost of a product. When a factory increases output, a reduction in the average cost of a product is usually obtained. This reduction is known as economy of scale. — SourceIf you become a popular OnlyFans model, you will be surprised to learn that you can run your business 24/7 by employing agencies that in turn hire low-paid contractors in poor countries like the Philippines. The chat specialists they give you, that was a huge deal for me,” she said. The agency provided a team of contractors whose sole job is to masquerade as the creator while swapping DMs with her subscribers. These textual conversations are meant to be the main way that OnlyFans users can interact with the models they adore. — SourceThe OnlyFans ecosystem had evolved from being a mom-and-pop porn business into a billion-dollar platform where 190 million people are checking out their favorite OnlyFans model daily. It is impossible even for anyone who found relative success in the platform to be able to talk to their fans because if they don't, that is a lost opportunity to further sell their products which usually are recycled adult content videos from their content library. In a Reddit post of an OnlyFans chatter, the conversation had both its supporters and critics. While some would see their work as harmless, and that they are in sales, some recognize that they have become sex workers and while some become experts at being detached and call it part of their job, some have to learn how to desensitize themselves and focus on how they can make more money rather than check their moral values. Not only do they have to take the persona of the OnlyFans model, but they also have to be engaging, knowing how to do sex talk which later on will need to progress to mastering the art of upselling, and by this means selling more sex videos from the creator. As much as some would say it is just another way to make money online, and although they don't do any sexual acts themselves, they have become a sex worker, fraudsters, or both. In its simplest definition, Sex workers are adults who receive money or goods in exchange for consensual sexual services or erotic performances, either regularly or occasionally.By that definition, the OnlyFans chatter who engage in sex talk and make money from explicit content have undeniably become sex workers themselves. And once you find yourself in the industry, it changes who you are, your morals and psyche — it just does. Even when I didn’t ask Russell for money, the lies I told him bothered me. I engaged in sex talk, pretended to be a female, and took advantage of Russell's vulnerability. The whole experience changed who I was. Final wordsIn the Philippines, you would even find tutorials on YouTube on how to be accepted as an OnlyFans chatter. There are also exclusive Facebook groups and anonymous Reddit groups where Filipinos would discuss their newfound online work.A recent article from Wired showed a glimpse into the world of being an OnlyFans chatter, the whole OnlyFans ecosystem, why it had become a multi-billion dollar industry, and how it opened new businesses like chat management firms that hire these contractors. What is fascinating about the article is that soon, there will be a class action suit against the people behind these chat management companies. As one lawyer Carey argues, that the managers who run creators’ accounts are engaging in a type of bait and switch that fits the classic definition of fraud. “When you subscribe, the very first thing it says is, ‘Have a DM relationship,’” he said. “Well, that’s totally fraudulent … It’s an open secret they’re just defrauding people.” — SourceI don't judge anyone who finds themselves working as an OnlyFans chatter — the pay is good, and the likelihood of earning beyond what regular jobs can offer often blurs anyone’s moral judgment especially when you find yourself living in poverty like many of these young people in the Philippines. OnlyFans has become a multibillion-dollar business, and it claims to be a technology company. Yet it all has the elements of sex work — the sex, the money, and potentially the crime. They say prostitution is the oldest profession, and in today’s world OnlyFans is sex work 2.0. I invite you to leave a comment and let’s have a conversation about sex work and fraud in the new era of technology.

So I found a place on facebook to live for a couple of months. The post on facebook was posted anonymously and they said to message them and send a screenshot to them if interested. I messaged them and they sent me pictures of the apartment and it seems very nice. It’s $900 a month with all utilities included and it’s fully furnished. I asked to tour and they are insisting that I pay $75 to apply BEFORE I even tour. I told them I wasn’t comfortable doing that and this was their response. Is this a scam? submitted by Comfortable-Art-6877 to Scams [link] [comments] |
