I've said this for years as others online have claimed OF is so safe. You don't know the full story. It is not necessarily a more ethical business model than traditional porn
It's definitely more ethical in that it allows the creators to get more of the money.
But that doesn't mean there aren't issues. Clearly it doesn't fix the whole issue of people under 18 sometimes making their way into the industry. It's not a silver bullet that fixes an entire (sometimes problematic) industry.
I don't know who was trying to tell you that OF solves everything about the porn industry, there would be no further issues, and that we'd live happily ever after, but that was obviously never going to be the case.
OF take 30% I think. What does an average scene make on OF? How does that compare to the pay rate for old school porn?
I think 30% is a fairly common number. That's also the exact share Google, Apple take if you're a programmer and sell Apps on their platform. And probably also what you're facing when selling online courses or other things. I'd be surprised if a platform that also offers some infrastructure, takes less than say 20 or 30%.
For comparison with non-porn, youtube takes more than 50% from adsense and 30% of supetchat/super thanks .
From my understanding, it’s higher than OF alternatives
Are there good (more ethical? cheaper?) OF alternatives? That's not my world at all...
Fansly exists, there are others that’s I’ve seen referenced but it’s not something I’m super familiar with.
