(1/5) Let’s level and have some real talk about OF income, shall we?

Today, OF calls me “Top 8.2%.” I’ve been a creator for 77 days. I’ve earned a total of $2,285. That’s less than $30/day. After state & federal taxes (28%), it’s $21/day. A DAY, not an hour. (cntd)
(2/5) If I spent a mere 2 hours/day creating and interacting (spoiler alert: it takes much more than that), that’s less than minimum wage.

I’m sharing this information for a few reasons. First, I think the world in general—and this industry in particular—need (cntd)
(3/5) more transparency and more honesty. This is related to reason #2, which is that unrealistic expectations harm creators and potential creators, especially those who are already disadvantaged. It is predatory to perpetuate the myth that OF is easy money, or that the (cntd)
(4/5) average person will get rich quick...or at all.

Subscribers, if you want to show support for your creators & are in a financial situation to do so, tip them & buy their content.

Creators, HELP EACH OTHER, & not just by reproducing virtual versions of the “cool (cntd)
(5/5) kids table.” Reach out to others, check in on them, promote them if you can. We are what makes this industry, not the other way around. ❤️
