    I advice against paying for adult content. It’s a big waste of money. Cutting on porn or eliminating it from your life to focus on human interaction that is real and not fake is what one should aspire to. If you are not ready to have a romantic relationship with anyone, invest in yourself and your wellbeing so you are happy and you make the right people for you to stay in your life and connect with you.

Is this the root of the problem? No. People spend their money in all sorts of ways that are stupid. There’s currently a meme bitcoin valued at a billion, that’s America for you.

      Laughable comments, making it out to be as if that teacher had no choice, might as well stop since you aren't fooling anyone. There are millions of teachers that did not resort to this easy way of making dirty money.
      Let's call it what it is, this teacher featured here chose an outlet that pays quite a bit for not much effort. On a side note, teachers do deserve better pay, without a doubt, but that's not what this here is about. Also, because there was a shortage of teachers recently they started accepting anyone and everyone almost, that's probably how this teacher even got a chance to teach in the first place...but it didn't take long for them to quit and turn to this depravity for more and more money.
      There are plenty of honest, decent jobs to go around, let's not pretend. In the height of job vacancies a few years ago, this idiotic outlet started booming with business, so it's not about the lack of ways to make money for a person's needs.

Ya'll only focus on "moral failings" because you are not deep enough or critical enough thinkers to understand how deep the corporate corruption in our society really goes. And I'm not talking about conspiracy theories. I'm talking about corporate consolidation, political financing, and financiallization, all things that are real and you can read about.

Matthew 7:13-14: "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it."

    It's sad. The people here referred to as "creators" are selling themselves pretty cheap. They'll create an objectively intimate bond with someone who feels no obligation towards them other than to give them a few dollars. It's like dating someone who doesn't care about you, but you stay with them anyway because they give you money.

      It's difficult to compete with a near infinite supply of pornography. Also, I imagine the very successful creators just hire someone else to chat up the subscribers, or perhaps they have some sort of ChatGPT like automation to fill in for them.

      Just like Trumps relationship with his wife.
      Do you think you have a point? Who do you think you are communicating with?
      This is the Wall Street Journal channel. It is 3000% about immoral money.

    so technically it's better to invest in it's stocks rather than buying it's products.
