    I mean, the rich drug dealers you know are rich from dealing, aren’t the ones to have that lifestyle long term.

    The sensible and rich drug dealers are the ones you wouldn’t know about. Quite a few of them are landlords here in the UK (I can’t provide numbers, just a what I know thing so I won’t be offended if no one believes it - these are just my ramblings, officer).
    Basically just sensible ways to turn black market income into seemingly legitimate income, through either self-employed businesses or other means.

    They’ll have seemingly regular jobs, and will do their best to appear legitimate to not raise any red flags. You’d be very surprised at who the most successful drug dealers are, however chances are you’ll never know as well.

      I’ve known some folk. From weed to cocaine.
      They absolutely do this.

      Independent contracting, roofing, concrete, etc. Oh. And farmers. Lots and lots of farmers. Easy to wash money.

      They have the best/shadiest lawyers who absolutely know what’s going on. They are paid very well.

      They live fairly modestly. Dress smart, not flashy. They don’t show off or draw attention.

      They’re smart.

      They don’t fuck around.

      More like, “these are easy jobs for fat stacks”. Each is easy to break into, the fat stacks part takes real work.

      I don’t think you underhand what this is saying. Hint: it’s not that.

      I think most of them aren’t getting any where close to what these OF influencers are getting for just showing feet.

    It’s funny because they compared themself to a picture of one of the worst people imagined to argue they’re a good person

        Honestly I don’t get the OF hate in general. We all have watched porn and we probably liked at least some of what we have seen. What is wrong about earning a living with producing what other people want and like? And as I don’t think, we argue about people consuming porn but about paying for it, what the fuck is wrong with paying the content creator? Why do we prefer paying agencies with ad revenue while the agency effectively scams their talent? Why no ads but cash? Why agency and not talent?

        I don’t have anything against OF or sex work, but I’ve always though that negative judgements against clients suggest a negative judgement against the service provider. If the act of providing the service is OK then surely the act of receiving the service is also morally sound? Unless the service provider has a morally ambivalent attitude to their own work? I say this as someone who had a long term partner doing sex work. Contempt for clients seems unfair and possibly hypocritical. Just people trying to satisfy a biological and emotional need.

      I think it should have said “do the right thing” as in normal job, taxes, etc. doesn’t make you a “good person” technically

    So you’re a good person but people doing OF aren’t?? Just start an OF and get over yourself.

    Feet pics on OF does extremely well. Gender doesn’t even matter just make them look popping.

    Source: I’m making an extra $3k/m on top of my 9-5.

        There are even niches within foot fetish porn. Like people with a fetish often have a very specific kind of fetish. Foot fetishists aren’t just into feet but for example also want to see the feet in specific color nylon socks or have a humiliation fetish. And most of the niches are probably underserved.

      Tell me more. How do I make my feet look popping? How do I even get started? I feel I could live with having slutty feet that give me some income

    what a weird conflation. first of all there shouldn’t be “girls” on only fans. second of all sex work is legitimate work. you’re not a good person, you just wrongly think you’re better than people. fuck you.

    I can see how an RV, lab equipment, and a helper might help, but you don’t actually need any of those to do OF.
