alright. to put it simply: OF vids are luxury goods, not needs, so they follow a completely different demand curve with a fixed floor and have way more demand elasticity. therefore...all ‘market demand’ arguments just scream broke and ignorant. I don’t make the rules. let’s talk more about “goods.” luxury in the social sense because we are beautiful and beauty is power, so our presence and energy requires compensation. and ALSO in the literal economic sense…it’s not the regular market, there’s an income floor, right? luxury goods are those where demand increases more than proportionally with income and has high elasticity, meaning demand is impacted by price. this is opposed to normal goods that are needs, like gas or bread, and are inelastic (i.e. a price change will not impact demand very much, I still need gas in my car even if it’s $10 a gallon). since we’re selling HD pussy and not life-saving medicine or water or housing, and price trends I’ve seen reflect it, I’m pretty confident that what we sell is a luxury good.

(( REFERENCE: http://arandomwalk.blogspot.com/2005/09/porn-giffen-goods-vs-veblen-goods.html and here: https://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2005/09/more_sexual_gif.html )) all but the finest of clients HATE talking about this kind of thing, and it’s because, as explained in the reference below, sex workers are most successful when they disguise their work as a market transaction. it’s why we get more upvotes on reddit with captions like “hiiiiii guyssssss, just felt like showing off today!!!! Hope you like!!!!!” vs. “this is my job, compensate me after enjoying this image!” this article kinda pushes back on the idea of ‘enchantment’ but I actually think it’s a fascinating one: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1111/j.1467-954X.2011.02005.x so my man Martin who said “it is supply and demand and as old, as humanity - at some point u have to lower the price / stop making such content or the opposite - brand value.” has noooooooo clue what he is talking about because onlyfans content does not follow a normal market supply/demand curve because of all of these weird complications (luxury good status, potential giffen or Veblen good status, the complicated designation as art). if someone thinks they’re priced out— they are. it’s not because we’re anti-poor (show me a swer who doesn’t know what broke feels like) it’s because we offer luxury goods. if you can’t afford a maserati, you buy a used ford. if you can’t afford my custom content, you enjoy what’s on my wall. doi! hope this helps
