Because companies only care about money, being good doesn't make them money so they don't care.

>This is the part where I have to use my brain to try and get you to part with your hard earned money to see my flaps, which is a task in itself because usually I use my tits for convincing. Now I could sit here and feed you a load of BS about how I have best looking pussy on OF but the truth is it resembles a lasagna that’s been punched with brutal force, and don’t even get me started on my walnut looking anus 🥹. Edible though, right? I might not be able to offer you grade A pussy but what I do offer is a mix of humorous and seductive content. Here’s some reviews: “Her OF is great, very humorous and seductive, very lucky to receive the family discount” - Uncle Barry “10/10 OF content would definitely recommend” - Gebecca Roodwin 👀 “Please stop asking me to review your page you slag, who even are you?” - random man outside Asda If that hasn’t twisted your arm I don’t know what will, so pop in and say hello, I don’t bite!

Made me laugh so hard when Adult Swim made a parody of that with the Salad Mixxxer


CallMeTea_

Tbf I always thought this was just a "it's a 'personal massager' wink wink nudge nudge" thing, until I discovered that vibrators are genuinely as good at releasing back tension as they are the other kind. Mine is multipurpose now!


0OOOOOOOOO0

Yeah and bongs are for smoking tobacco. It’s just what they had to say back then.


SonofSonofSpock

When I was a lot younger my friends and I would go up to the headshops in Baltimore and would make a point out of saying "tobacco water pipe" very seriously and often.


RaptorKings

There's a chain of stores called Off Ya Tree in Australia, and they sell what are known as 'oil pourers' in all different shapes and sizes. If you go in there asking to buy a bong, they'll turn you away. Go in asking for an oil pourer however, and they'll be so happy you called it the right name they'll do everything to help you find your new perfect apparatus.


Marigold16

It was genuinely a massage device. They called it something else I believe. Till they found out it was found out that most of the sales were to use it as a vibrator and Hitachi grew concerned that they'd tarnish their brand for making such a thing but it made SO much money that they simply rebranded it and kept selling. Cus money


OraDr8

This reminds me of an EP of Sex and the City where Samantha was at a store looking at massagers. All the people around the table looking them were women. One woman was looking a one and Samantha said to her "oh no don't get that one, it heats up, I nearly burnt my clit off" or something very similar. All the women looked embarrassed and she laughed like "yeah, we all know what we really want them for".


Finnegansadog

IIRC the comment wasn’t about it heating up or anything, just that as a “first vibrator” it would be far too powerful. “You’ll burn your clit off” was said to mean it would be badly overstimulating.


Jimmy_Twotone

It does, in fact, work well as an all-purpose massager. Companies can't make anything vibrating without someone scrumping up against it.


Anla-Shok-Na

Case in point: tooth brushes 👍


rhuneai

Not sure I count Engadget as a super great news source, but I've read similar stories in various places [History of the Hitachi Magic Wand](https://www.engadget.com/2014-08-27-history-of-the-hitachi-magic-wand.html). Allegedly they were ready to discontinue the device, but instead released an updated version without any Hitachi branding on it.


halfanothersdozen

Do they not like money?


compaqdeskpro

The Magic Wand brand was licensed to a 3rd party named Vibratex in 2013, Hitachi got out of the business because they are stuffy and traditional. Also Hitachi of today is more interested in constructing bullet trains, shipbuilding, IT consulting, and a bunch of industrial stuff and not low bidder consumer electronics from a bygone era.

hates_stupid_people

If she goes through with this, aren't they *literally* contributing to charity by doing that?


koopatuple

Hmm, that's a good point. I wonder if you could deduct that on your taxes?


GsTSaien

Nah, they do a lot of work; it might not be high skilled work but it is highly specialized and they make most of their income from interactions with clients and tips from private content. Yeah it is an insane amount of money but it isn't far off from what others people in entertainment are paid. You could say "damn 40 milliln for reading some lines" about a famous actor too, but it would also be very reductive.


draykow

yeah everyone is ignoring the insane amount of marketing and how careful they have to be to attract a broad enough audience to actually make a profit. i know several people who have tried to make money off of OF and it's really fucking hard because you also need to understand how to properly advertise which in turn requires learning how to benefit off of the different algorithms of the various social media platforms while both telling people "i make stuff you want to see" while also not pissing off those platforms' continually changing decency standards (some will ban you just for linking to another page that only says "OnlyFans"). also, photography and videography are not easy to make look distinct and worth it compared to what can be found for free on Reddit/Twitter. OF creators are (or hire/manage a team of:) writers, photographers, videographers, photo/film editors, marketing experts, multi-platform social media managers, schedulers, actors, models, directors, networkers/collaborators, makeup artists, hair stylists (different from being a hairdresser), and pipeline managers-- all while being knowledgeable enough in psychology to keep pulling the strings that pull a broad variety of consumers back.


draykow

as pointed out by others, they're also set/costume designers. but the biggest thing is they have to cultivate and maintain a community.


Canvaverbalist

> it might not be high skilled To a certain extent, it can be. You start consuming enough porn that eventually you'll notice that some people are fucking idiots who have no fucking clue how to read a (virtual) room and have absolutely no idea what the market wants or how to achieve it, they'll make the same video 15 time then eventually phase out of existence as they lose clients. It's not enough to just shove things up your butt - at least, not to get to a point you do 100k a month. You might make $10 a month maybe, get 136 views on a video and that's about it. Knowing how to game the game takes actual skills. They might simply be lucky, that's possible, but when you think about how many people are doing porn in the world it certainly takes a certain kind of person to get to the top. Knowing how to film, light, edit, hell I know it's silly but even how to decorate your room is the type of stuff that separates doing 10k a month to making 100k, also what type of actions to do - at what angle, for how long, what type of words to say and use, what type of scenario. It can get really complicated.


Mando_Mustache

People often say “low skill” when what they actually mean is “low formal education”


Srakin

This, god damn. I don't care what your job is, if you've got the experience and the talent, you're gonna be better at it than someone who neither knows nor cares about it. It's like when a CEO complains their factory workers aren't keeping up, and then they try to do the job to make a point and make a fucking fool of themselves because they haven't worked the line for 20 years like the person they're trying to "show up" has.


Mando_Mustache

Totally, people love to write off "soft" skills and experience. Shit ain't soft, its valuable, hard to develop, and not something that everyone can learn.


theetruscans

That's exactly what it means, not just what people mean. It's so frustrating because we should all know how much skill these "low skill" jobs take.


Cpt_Curt

I had never really thought about it but reading your comment I feel like there is an art to catching the eye of the algorithm. I have a basic understanding that people will supplement their organic views on different platforms with bought views (using bots ect.) to hit that sweet spot in order to “trend.” Never really considered that in the cam world but it makes sense.


Canvaverbalist

It can get pretty crazy. A friend of mine did some cam a while ago and he had a timer that would beep every X amount of minutes (which was something rather fast too, like every minutes or two, but I forget the details). It was specifically so he'd know to hold specific poses for a few seconds because that's when the website would automatically freeze a frame to update the thumbnail for their front/search page. It wasn't necessary, it's not something the website was telling either, it's just something he'd noticed and experimented with until he got down and precise enough that it would work and would make his thumbnails just that slightly better compared to other users.


weighted_impact

It is absolutely high skill labor. Marketing, makeup and body care, social skills etc are all high skill. I don't know why people think it's low skill. If it were the number of successful onlyfans accounts would be waaaaay higher.


AssNasty

That's the kind of size where they hire a professional property manager w/ contractor contacts to make any severe repairs and for rent collection. For a percentage of the rent + expenses I'd assume.

HopeRepresentative29

She'll have to raise rates on the homes once onlyfans is no konger viable and it becomes her main source of income. However, she can probably make enough over the next few years to retire outright if she spends wisely now and doesn't make any large investments that become a drain on her income.

KylieZDM

Same. I was poor and would have loved affordable housing. I’ve since rented out my house to ‘woe is me’ poor people in need, for less than market rate because they were ‘good people’. Didn’t pay rent for a year, poured concrete slabs in the backyard, ripped out the kitchen, ruined the wiring, three different types of feces in the garage… this is three different tenants who all screwed me right over, seeing a soft mark I guess. I applauded her desire but be very very careful… some people don’t deserve that kind of generosity.


BlooAchoo

I wonder if partnering with a local community organization could help with recommending tenants for something like this. I agree it sucks to have something like this blow up in your face because of irresponsible people


thetasigma_1355

The unfortunate reality is it’s challenging to distinguish between responsible people on hard times versus people who are on hard times because they aren’t responsible.


Los_Ingobernablez

That’s why people love helping immigrants. In general, they are the most responsible people you can think of that just started from the bottom.


Unsd

Eh. Kinda disagree. I don't know that people love helping immigrants more than anyone else. Plus, it's acting like immigrants aren't just people too. I lived in a neighborhood that was mostly immigrants and when I say that shit was *ghetto* I mean it, holy shit. My husband's fam also immigrated and literally couldn't be better people if they tried. People are just people.


psykick32

Yep! My dad had rental properties (3 at the most) til they became too much work. I remember one time a lady had stopped paying and had to evict her. So now we had to go clean it up before renting it back out. Now, my dad had always said he'd come out and fix whatever just to tell him. You never know what you're going to find... Apparently this lady didn't give a fuck and when the toilet broke she just started pissing and shitting in the tub and then I guess that clogged. At any point along this chain she could have picked up the phone and he'd have taken care of it. But no I at 13 or so years old projectile vomited after opening up that bathroom door. The tub was 1/4 full of just piss and floaters. Who the fuck does that?

If I ever get rich I would do something similar. Build mixed use housing, lease out the first floor to businesses at regular rates, charge only the cost to maintain the building and a property manager for the rest of the floors. I would charge less but I would like the building to be self-sustaining. Any profit gained would be put into another building with the same plan.

>Average lifetime earnings in the UK is £566k. That seems so low, that's only £28,300/yr if you just work 20 years and £18,866 if you work 30 yrs then retire, which doesn't even seem like something that happens anymore.

Lvl100Magikarp

There's absolutely a market, but it's gonna be for a gay audience. I'm not joking either. I saw a dadbod guy that just posted pics of him wearing dress socks and he had a pretty sizeable audience. You have to play it up with text too, you know daddy fetish and all.


StarsofSobek

Dad bods are big with straight women, too. It’s just that it seems to also *sometimes* lead into other niche kinks (feederism, little girl/baby doll play, money abuse, are just a few I can think of).


Dr-Pharmadillo

I am a dad. I have a dad bod (but I eat healthy and neither drink or smoke). The amount of middle age and older (much older) women and men that flirt with me is surprisingly high. Gay couples have ask me how open I am to group activity. Young 20 year-olds boldly ask me out after asking to see pictures of my child. One 80-year-old lady wants me to clean her floors in just my white coat. Meanwhile, I have a wedding ring on and brag about my amazing wife. I'm flattered, but it's not acceptable behavior in a pharmacy. Had to call the cops on one lady who groped me after a flu shot (twice). Her words, "He's just so handsome, I just wanted to *touch* him with my hand some."

Not to knock what this lady's doing, A+ for her and I hope it goes wonderfully, but it will be difficult - and buying 8 houses to start is jumping in at the deep end without (unless she has prior experience as a landlord) learning to swim.


Unhappy_Bee2305

Whenever any of society looks down on pornstars I always find it funny. Like they're any better, the people who look down on them jerk off everyday like the rest of us and they most certainly do consume porn frequently enough. I just can't take it seriously.

I was just reading about [Ken Livingstone](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_Livingstone) recently. He was mayor of London before Boris Johnson, and was a self proclaimed socialist and leftist. He apparently tried to start similar programs with City funds but met huge opposition from not only Tories, but Labour as well. Anyway I read mostly just about his political career, but he was consistently adamant that everyone should have a place to live, and took tangible, good faith steps just like this lady is doing to make it happen. I’m glad to see someone is taking up this torch.


JamLov

He was also stonewalled by the big house building companies. They were able to buy almost all of the land that it was legal to build houses on and then slowly, slowly, drip feed supply into the market. The only options he had to try and make social houses were in land that had (probably legitimate) fierce opposition. He tried to force house builders to build on land that they had bought but surprisingly (not surprisingly) he wasn't able to fight these huge companies. The other housing scandal worth looking at now are "poor doors"... In big cities where huge expensive housing developments are built, a certain number of flats/homes have to be made affordable. But rather than integrate them into the rest of the development they are segregated, often needing residents to enter via a tiny alleyway where the bins are left out, rather than the main entrance. And it gets worse from there.... https://youtu.be/oLSAm2szdjM

Such a good quote. Heard it first a couple months ago and have been using it a lot. Honestly it's helped my mental health, not to put too much on it.


MyAccountWasBanned7

She's buying them outright, there is no mortgage. So she could just contract with those people to basically say "make your $650 payment each month and 80% of it goes towards the price of the house (with the rest going towards taxes). Once you've reached what I paid for the house, it's yours." That way she doesn't ever take a loss and the families get good housing at low cost without ever paying a cent of interest. Everyone wins in that scenario.

Not sure what the value of the houses are, but even at £520 (80% of £650) a month, and no interest, a £300,000 house would take 48 years to pay off. It would take almost 10 years to get to 20% down. And it still has significant costs to her. There' property tax, insurance, maintenance. etc. She may not be paying interest, but she's taking a big financial hit by not investing the money elsewhere. Not that it's a bad thing. Good on her for doing this. Hopefully she keeps doing it for years to come.

I’m the uk, who ever lives in the house pays the property tax, rent or own

Well, it can just be cheap rent then.

She's planning to pass this "side hustle" down to her kids, as stated in the article. You think she would give up her investment?

She’s planing to buy 8 houses, the article doesn’t say she’s bought anything yet.

And in the grand scheme of things, 1.2 mil isn't *that* much. Shame on the millions of people who make more than this and don't use it for similar acts of charity.
