Odd given how it's often considered the oldest form of work

They have already rolled back on this decision. Party on.
I know I'm old but I'll never understand why anyone would pay a monthly subscription to follow / subscribe to content (be it sexual in nature or not). Literally nobody in the world is interesting enough that I want to know what they are doing every day.
To be fair I don't get the allure of instagram etc. where you "follow" people - everyone posts the same banal ****, even the most out there rock star celebrity is just another boring human being most of the time

People are too thirsty nowadays.
Tutorials/lessons from experts on any given subject?
There's some printmakers that I follow hosting lessons online as they've been unable to do face to face tuition. Seems like a good idea to me.
Manipulating people into giving you money is work. It requires time and skill, so it's work. There's also work involved in making videos and in being a presenter. Onlyfans requires all three of those things.
That's exactly the reason I and my brother have a couple of online subs.
They're related to our hobbies and give the sort of instruction and information that is exactly what we want and that you can't easily find elsewhere, certainly not to the same consistent level.
It's not much different for a lot of interests to paying for a magazine every month and hoping it has the stuff you want. One that my brother subs to is belongs to the guy* who used to be the face of Games Workshop videos and would do instructional videos for them, until IIRC they re-organised and he realised he could make the same money (or more) doing what he wanted with far fewer restrictions, so rather than just showing GW models and the GW way he could do other models and other methods, often in far more detail.

Taking out the sex work part of the argument, I 'grafted' in physical work from around age 18 til until I was 37, since then i've been more exec/office based (previous 5 years). I'd take the physical exhaustion of a 'grafting' job over the mental exhaustion of my current role any day. Physical exhaustion generally has a shelf life where you start to recover, mental stays with you 24/7.
Not saying all office based work is the same and not saying all physical 'grafting' leaves you exhausted either, however the idea that physical work is somehow the only real work is utter nonsense.
100% agree
