Stuff like this makes me depressed. Why bother creating stuff that will help people and improve their lives when what they really want is self-destruction and indulgence.
This is an example showing that the "help people" mentality isn't always true. Imagine all the incredible value that's shared on Substack. Thousands of experts in various domains, including very lucrative ones like finance and business, often helping people make thousands with a single piece of advice. Yet, Substack generated 50x less revenue than OnlyFans which (arguably?) provides zero productive value to society and if anything, contributes to its destruction.
Then you have this crazy situation:
From the pure entrepreneurial perspective, why bother trying to improve the world where there's so much more money in appealing to the most basic, even if self-destructive, instincts?
@Andy Black and @MJ DeMarco, I'm curious about your thoughts.
Be right back, posting pics of my bare elbows to get some of that sweet OnlyFans moolah.
I know that creating has to be financially viable, but for me the primary purpose of anything I create is to test my mind and my own enjoyment, secondarily I have to figure out how it can make money (or how I can support it by making money some other way).
Another perspective is that you are not interested in creating for the basement bound porn addicts, but you are creating for the small percentage of people who want to actively improve their lives. And you never know, some of those basement bound porn addicts might read some of your material and be inspired to change their lives.
I sometimes experience a similar sentiment when I listen to modern pop / rock music and lament and how terrible it is. Then put it out of my mind and focus on creating something I love that satisfies my standards, which I find rewarding.
That is a crazy statistic though. I wonder what the parallel statistic is for women?
