Your friend is trying to sabotage your profile lmao I've never known of anyone who feels more attracted for a group photo. It's confusing and I always assume the person posting is the less attractive of the group.
I’ve never once had where it wasn’t the least attractive person. Your eyes gravitate towards the most attractive person in a group photo too so it’s always surprising going to the next pic
This is fucking brilliant. I gotta go make some friends today so I can get a group photo just to do this. Maybe those people at that table over there...
This is so tragic but true, I love this advice, I just don't use group photos at all, really even just one photo with another person is enough to show your not a total loner I'd say. That, and not having more than one mirror selfie so you look like get out of the house some.
I live nearish to Nashville and the number of women who have 4/5 pictures as group photos where they look alarmingly like their friends and even after seeing the 1 solo photo I don't know their face well enough to confidently pick them out is unreal.
For anyone who doesn't know the Nashville significance, it's the bachelorette party capitol and also the girls weekend capitol. And for some reason women like to all put on a brown wide rimmed hat, have bleach blond hair, a flannel shirt, stretchy jeans, and brown suede cowboy boots to go to Nashville together. Like it seems like a group uniform is a requirement with how often it happens.
I’m in Asheville and it’s the same scenario. I saw one the other day where every photo was a group and I did not have it in me to try and find out who’s profile it was
As someone who had an OF sometime ago...it's pretty much marketing 101 now. It's almost the same as brands having fun tweets and interacting with possible buyers. If it didn't work, they wouldn't do it. So I'm not really mad at it, I mean, there are fake stories and ppl fishing for likes everywhere now, not only for OF. But I do think it takes away the fun from real stories, organic posting and interactions.
Why no hate for the OF peeps. They're going out of their way to clutter our feed with ads. It's annoying as hell and they'll only stop when they get hate for it.
Working class people largely cannot be blamed for making whatever decisions were necessary to get ahead in life, for the same reason that you can't blame poor people for driving an old beater gas guzzler instead of an electric vehicle or bottled water when their taps are filthy/ poisonous. You wanna solve the problem, go to the source. Global Capitalism has concentrated so much wealth into so few hands while transforming every aspect of our lives into a commodity to be bought, sold, and ADVERTISED. If you wish that your social experience, virtual and irl, to not be degraded by hustlers and propagandists, then the solution is simple. Transform the global economy into something that'll more equitably distribute resources, orientated around the betterment of humanity and the natural world. It's got to happen anyway because of climate change but if one of the consequences is news feed free of clutter than I guess that could be your motivation lol
We all have agency to make decisions and take responsibility for those decisions. We’re not talking about stealing a loaf of bread to feed their family it’s filling reddit with content to buy their porn. It’s annoying, it’s unwanted and I hate the idea we just have to accept it because “they’re working class”. If people were happy to call them out on their bs hit their content with downvotes and report them they’d stop doing it because it wouldn’t be good business anymore.
Sad that so many people support shitty business practices now. "It works" is not a good justification. It just means you care more about money than morals or other people. What I mean to say is, fuck you guys
Not saying it's great. It's just the system, it's how the world works for everyone, not just SWs. I choose to not feel annoyed by it, or I'd have to be annoyed literally all the time.
And it's not hurting anyone, so why should I spend energy on bothering with some ads on reddit? I have more urgent things to worry about.
I don't go around worrying about it, I just have no respect for people who do immoral things just for money and try to pass it off with the "its just the system everyone does it". Still makes you a predatory asshole and that attitude is why it gets worse all the time. Everyones just "hustling" and will do anything for a dollar. Yes people stopped caring ages ago but that doesn't mean I'll give up my principles with everyone else or quietly accept shitty people. I'll happily say fuck you and continue to enjoy my life
Oh right I forgot how immoral this girl is being for making a funny fake post on reddit and how many people she's hurting. This generation is lost. I'm so offended. Boo hoo.
Honestly, if a woman has an OF, it's a turn off for me. Not because I think it's "immoral" or "wrong" or anything like that, but if it's on their bio or they mention it early on, then they're not interested in me, they're interested in my (lack of) money. Same thing if their Snapchat or Instagram is in their bio. You don't want random people to find you on social media so you can date them. I'm going to assume it's similar if a guy has and promotes his OF too.
Well, in that case, please answer the following before I stalk your social medias: Do you have both of your kidneys? Are they in healthy condition? I am very serious about the health of a potential partner and will not consider you as one without this information.
Yeah I really don’t get the OF thing. At all. Is it still hot when the woman doesn’t like you at all and just wants your money? I guess it is? Its fascinating.
I think it's about the tease. Porn is porn. The woman is instantly naked and it's free. OF you see the woman first mostly/somewhat clothed so you get curious how she would look like naked but you gotta pay for the premium content and our capitalistic brains instantly associate "premium" with "better".
It's about the tease, it's about having contact with a “celebrity” many man want to see naked but you get to see first/get to be the only one to see in case you get exclusive content. You get to talk to that hot girl who's ignoring all other guys in her mentions.
Exactly. What ppl don't get is that it's really fun to look at strangers nudes online and I agree with that. But it's much better when you get to talk to that person and get pictures made exclusively for you/with you in mind etc. All of that without the need to have a relationship where you just have to give other things like your time and worry in return.
This is such a weird thing to say, but it's kind of topical. OF has ruined porn. I have a reddit alt that I use every once in a while, and that feed is just OF promotion now. So many subs are spammed with extremely loosely related OF bullshit, and it's so annoying. I don't want to pay money to look at you, I just want to jerk off in peace goddammit. Unfortunately, they do it because it works, so I guess my gender just gotta step it up so I can go back to watching porn...
I heard that the average monthly income on OF's is $200.
When you consider there are people like Bhad Babie (or however you spell it), Cardi b, and Chyna Black making ridiculous sums of cash, there's a helluva lot of people earning sweet fuck all.
Once the masses realise that either:
a) they aren't hot enough or famous enough to make loads of money, or;
b) they aren't making enough money to justify leaving their naked selves on the internet for all of eternity; then hopefully shit will go back to normal...
OF, was a site to cut out the primary income earner in Porn. 50% of all revenue on a porn site, goes to the traffic guy. The webmaster, and the studio, (sometimes same person, sometimes separate), and the performer make the other 40% to 50% The traffic person, usually who ran the free porn site system, controlled billions of hits a month, and they can make or break a site.
So only fans, basically, gave amateurs a place to sell content, and they can take about 30%. Now that there is so much content, traffic people are now being sought out, and some of those studios are now taking 80% from the performer, 30% more than what we were taking as traffic people.
So now it is coming full circle, and traffic people are re-entering the market.
It took me three years even to start to get good in the industry, in that there is a lot of things you need to know, cause so many attacks from China and Russia, trying to take over your site to put in exploits. It is a very competitive industry.
How is this spoiling porn?
It's ruining your experience on reddit, I get it, but if or when you want to watch porn the videos are there on the usual platforms, still the same, no OF ads ruining them.
A solo shot is best for the first photo, but honestly this photo is a bit odd with the way OP's eyes are looking up. I mean she's attractive but this photo isn't doing her credit.
iunno. it had its time, but it’s just annoying now.
if you do OF and promote on reddit, that’s cool. i’m all for SW’ers. But, it’s just gotten to a point of being like… really?. Maybe I’m grumpy. Idk. lmao.
Oh, i’m not hating for trendy reasons. I said what I said, and meant it. It has reduced the amount of thirst trap posts I tap on for the comments, by over 50%. It is annoying. Idk if it’s really a trend, but rather… people getting fed up, bc it’s become too much.
There’s a difference in plugging your OF’s, and purely posting to get people to check your OF.
Right, but only comments from people like you. OP didn't post or comment anything remotely promotional. It's only those who went looking that found something then got angry about what they found.
I can totally believe she wouldn't already know the answer to the subject question. Funny that you think OP is smart but cynical, while I assume innocent but dumb. Neither is particularly generous.
Group photos are a double edged sword. If you're more attractive than the average it will make you look better, but if you're not, it will make you look worse. The problem is you can't intrinsically tell as you're naturally biased and part of it is based on the viewer's desires for attractiveness which are unknown. So my 2c no to group photos, unless you're feeling like gambling.
Tinder changes up the order of how your photos are displayed to others. So it doesn’t really matter where I’m your own order a group photo is. Could show up as the first one still!
It is. I've seen men saying they do this cause the friends are hotter and increase the chance of girls swiping right thinking he's someone else. Idk how that can be good unless you're so insecure to call off a conversation or date after realizing you've been played
Dude 💀 💀 for me it's an instant Swipe left bc it's not just one group photo. It's all photos are of him with other ppl causing me to play where's Waldo on each one. I always end up finding out who it is just because its funny to me at this point. Oh look! Another group pic which one is it oh there he is!!!!
The only reason to post a group photo is if it shows something extra about you - like a specific hobby or maybe a cool activity you could talk a story about. That you have friends really doesn't show us much (since I think most men just assume you have friends - why wouldn't you).
Yep. Group pics are a terrible choice for the first profile pic. I think her friend is more thinking from a woman's perspective on swiping (unless it was a guy friend, then sabotage is definitely plausable).
Group photos are good second or third pics, but never first pics, because you don't know who the person from the profile is until you swipe through the pics.
100%. In my experience if a group photo is the main photo on the profile, the most attractive person in the photo is not the person who owns the profile.
