I'd love to be among the echelons of #contentCreator s who can simply afford to make content as a career based off ad revenue and sponsorships alone, but as long as I'm focused on challenging the #patriarchy + #capitalism , I'm threatening the status quo too much for that to ever be an option for me.

Also, it's not like ALL my videos are sub-only. Just the topless livestreams, and even those go up publicly so anyone can watch them a few weeks after the streams take place. AND you can gain FREE access just by taking a new seconds extra to share links to my content on your own social media pages via the Promo Squad ( https://www.toplesstopics.org/promosquad! )

If you can't/don't want to donate $2 a month and don't want to spend ten extra seconds linking to my content on your own social media pages, then you'll just have to be patient and watch them when they go up publicly in a few weeks. And again-again, that's only my Topless livestream vlogs. My large-effort video essays and political commentary videos, which are also topless, are always free.

I know there's a preponderancy of accusing content creators of being "greedy" if we set any kind of paywalls to access anything we make, but the average viewer doesn't understand the amount of work that goes into making anything online, and equipment, software rentals, video hosting, etc COSTS MONEY (to say nothing about the temerity of wanting to get any kind of payment for the work itself). If I can't get that money through "free to the public" avenues like in-video ads and sponsorships, then trying to incentivize viewers to pay $2 a month (or link to my content on their own social media) is really the least I can do.

Don't like it and want me to always put all my content up immediately for free with no effort on your part? Take it up with the "free" sites like YouTube 🤷🏽‍♀️ if they'd stop banning me constantly and simply let me exist exactly like every other content creator, including those with their boobs nearly entirely out except for three pixels of areola, cruel "prank" videos, videos full of guns and violence, and of course so, so many videos full of fully uncensored MALE nipples, then I could "build the views" on platforms that sponsors have at least heard of (self hosting on my own website is not something they care about) and might score an (ethically approved) sponsorship to pay for things that way.

Argh. I'm just getting so frustrated about this. People want everything for free with no effort, but are unwilling to take a few extra seconds to make it at all easier on us creators to put that free content up for their enjoyment. It's really exhausting and makes it feel like there's no point.

Edit: fixed some typos.
