That's what's called advertising

Here, fixed.

I mean... the good news is that sex workers clearly think it is worth advertising here.

Except... probably not. A good friend of mine has her content posted somewhat prominently here and on mastodon. She herself is not involved in the slightest and it is just someone karma farming in systems without global (or local) karma.

They should consider donating 500$ per month on the instance.

Then what’s the angle, especially if it’s an NSFW alt? Is the reposter dropping affiliate links or something?

Sometimes it is a hardcore simp who has keyed in on the complete lack of discoverability in the OF space.

More often... people are just deeply fucking stupid. Its the same reason you'll see people incorporate the same obnoxious self-censoring that tiktoks do in their posts... because they know that pewdiepie is afraid of getting demonetized for saying "pedophile" so they might be too. Or... the dumbfucks who shout into a speaker phone in public because they saw kim kardashian do it on the tv.

And same here. They are keyed in enough to realize that sites like reddit are full of people who post porn to get their accounts enough karma to get past most filters without realizing that the goal of that is to then nuke the past messages and sell it to a marketing firm (which is why reddit finally added the ability to hide an account's posts and comments).

This is weird enough to be plausible. The world be like that.

Ahh, that makes sense. I hadn’t thought of that.

OF simps being aware of the Fediverse is interesting, though.

I kinda have a distant fascination with this whole ecosystem. Like, what drives all this money and attention to change hands? I don’t really see the appeal of idolization, myself, which is why I find it interesting I suppose.

Only Fans? People be horny and the most successful sex workers understand that it isn't the stripper who shows her poon on stage that makes the most money: it is the one who can work a crowd and manufacture a "connection" with the guy who will pay for five lap dances a week. Its why so many of them will sell private videos and text messaging as an incentive (and then, when they make enough money, pay a service to do said texting). At which point it is the old screenshot of a kid commenting on a pewdiepie video that they are going to mow the lawn and then they are back.. except it is someone typing one handed to a porn vod.

Advertisement and astroturfing? Advertisement works. People pretend they are above it but they aren't. One of my genuine favorite examples was back during the pandemic when one of the WWE shows came on right before some reality tv show called Sex Island or whatever. You could watch in real time as people began by complaining they hate all the ads and it is trashy (it really lowered the vibes of the sex trafficker company...). But, after a few weeks, there were "ironic" watch alongs on all the major wrestling message boards.

And that is especially true on reddit and the like. There is a reason that "SEARCH STRING reddit" was a "lifehack". And people are generally smart enough to call out the account with -20 karma that is talking about how awesome the Babish Wok is. They are less likely to do that when the account has 5k karma and the last few comments look legit.

And... if you know the right circles to look in, there are still orgs that will pay for "real" social media accounts either for one offs or for ownership.

There are plenty of real NSFW accounts on here, but they are using post bots so that they only have to write one post and the bot will automatically post it for them on all their different promotion channels (instagram, facebook, twitter, bluesky, reddit, lemmy, etc)

Such a big heart, or actually it looks like two of them... two very large hearts yes...️️

I have marked this post nsfw. while it does not have complete nudity, it still is not completely sfw imo. I do not think it should be deleted (i recieved a report).

Good job blurring Sofiatreni's name.
