If a lass has a channel where they stimulate their own prostate with freshly bought vegetables, and you like that content, you can pay for for it.
I'm sure there are people who think their parasocial relationship with a camgirl/boy is more than it actually is, but you get that level of weird, idiotic entitlement on regular, not-for-tits Patreon, too.
I'm quite sure OF has it's own systems for booting fucking weirdos who think they're owed something by the hosts. Do we really think that people would be doing camshows on it if that weren't the case?
I think everyone is overthinking what is just a natural progression of the worlds oldest profession.
OnlyFans is not actually a porn site, it's supposed to be Patreon-esque and they've gone to great lengths attempting to platform non-explicit creators, however the platform is fundamentally associated with pr0n and they're pissing in the wind pretending anything else.
The site's popularity is due to the intimate relationship that supporters can then build with the creators of their fantasies. The opportunity to pay a little bit more $$$ to message directly or even get personalised content seems to be immensely popular as a way to flick people's switches. Free pr0n is like watching the trailer for a film while OF is the pr0n version of going to the cinema, having a meet and greet and then taking the lead star home.
Essentially, it's just a digitised and safer version of the world's oldest profession with multiple payment tiers. Horny people (remember it's not all hetero guys on there) paying a bit of dosh to get their rocks off in unique ways.
As for the parasocial relationship thing, that is 100% real. My DMs clearly show how people think they know me from a bunch of 60 second videos I've posted online. Nothing sexual or too creepy, just people who really seem to believe I'm their best mate, even though we literally don't know each other.
