very true. ive seen girls not think much of themselves, had normal insecurities about themselves, only to have more confidence when they realized guys were paying them to bang. some do let it go to their heads. Some are just flat out arrogant and honestly i wonder if some are just as insecure but believe its all about the appearance. If they put it out there and collect the money then maybe they start to believe their own hype and then live it. fake it til you make it, so to speak. i think its about perception. Some girls just flat out think they are the greatest thing ever and if others dont agree they dont have time for them, and only want to focus on their supporters. It certainly doesnt help when there are places like onlyfans where they can get paid for doing nothing but being in front of a computer camera. maybe flash a nipple and people tipping for it. that is as insane to me as the girls thinking they are top model elite status in their head, but reality is far from it. But, many of the self proclaimed elite providers would have you believe that an experience with them at 1000 is no way the same as if they were at 300. They got to sell the lie. well, i aint buyin.
I think there could possibly be a.... ill call it 'the big stall' where people that got some extra money to spend arent going to let it go as easy based on garbage service in any industry, and the people wanting to offer services and wanting as much money as possible for as little work or effort as possible. when the buyers wont budge and the sellers wont budge. its a mexican stand off. sooner or later, someone is going to have to budge. it will start out with a measly 5 percent off, then the buyer shakes his head, nah brah ill wait it out, then it goes down a little more, but little by little until prices even out, but the question is, what is the magic number that both parties can accept? will it be slightly higher than before? or will it be what is been in the past? its interesting to watch play out. . As long as nobody is buying at the discounts.
in these times, self control is gold.

The sites tended to be more expensive and were littered with scams, also bandwidth and video quality were issues at the time, and webcams and devices were more expensive.
I think only fans exploded not just due to the technological advances, but because of Covid. People living at home in isolation and trying to find new ways of making money.
I think the issue at hand is the same one it's always been: I got back from the SHOT Show in Vegas around 2011 in my home city at the time, only to see another air traveler on the same flight grabbing his luggage at the terminal claim. He had one of the Adult Entertainment Expo bags in his hand. I looked and him and felt confident he wasn't getting what he really wanted... which was sex with a pretty girl. Instead he probably paid thousands of dollars on a flight and hotel room, then an additional few hundred on entry tickets to grab an autograph from some porn star at the show, which was probably stuffed in that bag he was holding.
Unfortunately I think this is the same kind of person who would pay for only fans. Now granted some guys might do this because they realize there is danger involved in patronizing prostitutes, not the least of which could be getting arrested or robbed, so I'm sure some guys don't do it based on that fact alone. But I think the sad truth is there are many other guys who won't see prostitutes either because they haven't developed sufficient social mechanisms to interact with girls confidentially, or may have a psychological disorder. This is the image a lot of people would paint of "the guy living in his mom's basement", though I do not seek to criticize these people.
I can't imagine anyone who has had generally good experience with prostitutes then going on later on life to sign up for only fans and paying money just to watch girls nude; that doesn't make any sense to me at all. On that note, there's plenty of free porn out there, though much if it is illegal due to copyright violation. But people watch it incessantly anyhow. I think the difference is I might go watch porn once a blue moon if it's late at night and I'm horny. Whereas I think only fans tends to be more for people who want to "connect" with a SPECIFIC girl they leaning towards an obsession with, not just watch some random pretty girl they know little about or don't even know their stage name.
I just think only fans has gained notoriety and opened up doors for alot more guys who probably would have done this earlier had they known about it, and maybe girls who had tendency towards prostitution; strippers for example who do it on a pole in a club are now doing it in front of a camera.
If we are indeed in a Mexican Stand Off, it's taking way too long for the pot to dry out. There has to be a lot of money at stake, and since this has been going on 2 years now, I'm starting to lose my patience. You are right, self control is king, eh?
The only other indicator would point to this line of business becoming the domain of the rich and famous only. Your Eliot Spitzer's for example. Not only was that bastard a politician, but he had zounds of excess money to go with his dirty job. I certainly don't want to see that happen to this line of work!
