Normal people don’t.

Okay Susie you can send me back my money then. Feel like you coulda kept this private.

😅

🤔🤔🤔

Because people are stupid.

Maybe they want to see specific boobs/feet/dicks...?

But couldn’t you find that? I’m shocked at all the crazy things that I find with Google searches.

Getting too specific, but maybe you find a girl from high school on only fans...and youre super creepy.

I think that and also sometimes it is an actual fetish to literally just spend money on someone. I do NOT get it.

Oof ya thats probably true too.

Why do people zap notes when they can just read them for free?

🤷‍♂️

perhaps the same reason why you wanna make out with this or that person. not that I pay.

This is new to me 🥹😂

Zapping for a foot pic = 🤌

😉😉😉

🤣

Interaction? + Completing desire of user that post it. 😅

For more pleasure 🤣jaja.

But I don’t know why he’s true.

they not only paying for a visual, they want interaction, connection.

and exclusivity. scarcity in that respect feeds attractiveness too perhaps?

but idk tho, just a guess

Why is the porn industry still a thing when people can fap for free on pornhub

Sorry I'm conservative guy until or unless ...🙈🙈🙈

Same reason bottled water is popular, marketing.

Do you stream sats to podcasters for shows you could listen to for free?

This guy gets it.

I have. So you are saying it’s to show appreciation?

I will say that I wouldn’t send thousands a month to listen to any podcast.

It's to repay value for receiving value. And value is subjective. Some may value boob jpgs they pay for more than free boob jpgs 🤷

Ah got it and that raises a good point about perception and value being subjective. Thx!

Because the subject of the pic also gave them 0.1 seconds of attention and acknowledged their existence

The "double-spending problem", Satoshi solved this 😂

Noone wants to pay for my feet pics..

#footstr

Good Q I’ve no clue tbh

Never paid for anything B, D or F related

They like being simps

I zap that which I derive some value from consuming.

I'm yet to zap a foot or dick pic.

Bobs make me happy though.

All Bobs on Nostr,

Send pics to #[3]​ for money!

📣

Same reason people #zap notes I imagine.

And I bet way more people would pay without the friction of fiat.

Zaps for Faps will save the porn industry ⚡️

#Bitcoinfixesporn

Know what else fixes porn? Getting laid by more than the palm of your hand.

Lol I’m good but how does that fix porn? 😂

I guess my logic is saying if you've already got filet mignon what do you need beef jerky for?

¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Feel free to tell me how much of a dumb ass I am. 👍

No clue...

But I hope these mfs that are... are at least asking for their name to be written on paper and to be in the pics...

Or you just getting old content... prolly by someone who paid less for the pics.

😂

Who’s paying for dick pics?!?! Those are free, and typically unwanted.

Yeah, I was surprised to learn how much some males earn on OnlyFans.

And.. How much is that..? 🤔✍🏼

100k to just under 1M/month. Far less than the most popular female accounts, but still 🤯

Most accounts make like $150/month lol

No doubt. Most actually probably make nothing, but I am shocked people could make huge domes for something you could get for free.

It’s monetizing loneliness

That’s so sad, but seems true.

I feel bad for all these future kids with moms that have OFs lol going to be ruthless bullying

Covid sure created a surplus of loneliness...

Well, #[4] , that's a pretty big gender pay gap! Where's the public outrage??? We're going to have to get is started.

I suspect their supporters are also males.

🤷🏽‍♀️

Maybe we should sell them 🤣

So… you have posted more feet picts publicly?

What does that have to do with my question?

If you don’t have them public, ppl would pay you. It is the thrill of the exclusivity and possessive instincts. Not the best of humanity, but is certain part of us.

I posted my feet pic as a joke. I don’t get the appeal of a body part picture especially when you can’t see the person’s face.

It takes all kinds in the world, but there are certainly ppl for which that is their thing.

Power.

A feeling of connection generated via dubious cause and effect.

I think paying for this shit is incredibly dumb and I would never pay for something I can get for free, but the people who do pay for it

like it because money is a type of communication and giving someone money in exchange for pictures feels like it’s a direct, 1 on 1 type of communication. There’s a sort of exclusivity factor that makes it *feel like* a more personal experience - rather than watching videos that you know anyone can watch at any time - even though it’s really not.

Good question

🤷🏽 A fool and their fiat are soon parted.

Why do people zap when the content is not only free, but already consumed?

Jesus said, “where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” I honestly think there is this more emotional attachment and feeling that occurs within people when they feel the money leave their hands and it ends up producing this sexual object.

It’s honestly a prime case study for how much we lack love and healthy forms of intimacy in our lives. We degrade to this form of trying to satisfy ourselves by such means. Deeply lonely etc.

It’s the feeling of interaction. Pics = static. Interaction = human need of a pack hunter.

If people didn’t need interaction we wouldn’t be on NOSTR in the first place. We’d all be drinking coffee by ourselves.

So the purchase is the interaction?

Well I’m imagining purchase along the lines of only-fans type interaction. Just buying random porn is inexplicable to me. Just think how many sats those people could be stacking!
