OnlyFans isn't just about erotic content. Porn is available elsewhere, cheaper. The platform really is designed to push parasocial relationships. I think it's probably less healthy (for the consumer) than normal porn.(Possibly less healthy for the performer, too, but it's hard to balance that against the problems performers often have in exploitative studios.)

Is OnlyFans spending also correlated with lower education (when adjusting for income)?by pingou

Plenty of low education jobs that are hard work and dirty or dangerous, pay really well. Garbage collection, construction and oil rigging pay well, lots of people can’t or won’t do these jobs.by newsclues

I wanted to see if HN would say something nice about such people instead of being smug academics. You are proof there is at least one good and decent person here.

It’s a statement, not a question. “Why does Texas oil country love OnlyFans” would be a question.by pimlottc

I am not a consumer of adult content though I used to be. I firmly believe adult content will be outlawed in the near futureby ducktastic

Outlawed by who, where? There are always places that will outlaw things but it now serves a lot of them to use it as an excuse to ID Internet users.by yakikka

The people that are doing it to monitor the internet do have a schism with their voter base.The groups that get Republicans in primaries tend to be heavily conservative/Christian, then they get voted in because they have an R next to their name. The voters may not even agree with most of the things said politician says, but it has turned into a performative act by that point.
And that's how you get porn users to ban porn.
Much like get got farmers to vote against their best interests.

Gasp! But... That would be communism. I thought that is unacceptable.by RealityVoid

they've already started banning it e.g via ID lawssame as gambling.
these things are like swings - go back & forth throughout history.
what's interesting me to me is how quickly the mood went from a very liberal approach to things to very conservative within 20 years

Gambling? Gambling is more widely available and celebrated than it ever has been. Its regulations have been eroding faster than water through sand.by pathartl
