OnlyFans models & online scammers

Want to be clear that Amouranth specifically has been honest about this, but since she’s the only OF girl actually mentioned in the video (other than someone who might be dead!?!?!) it didn’t feel right to use anyone else in the thumbnail.

On this subject what is you take on girls contracting to have AI of them made and the AI basically runs the Onlyfans? Susu.JPG is a creator on KZbin that has done this. She has an AI called Susu_Bot that creates AI generated photos OF HER and it also has AI generated voice, of her voice, so that subscribers can "call and talk to her". Genius business model but....what world are we living in?

I've seen news stories talking about how loneliness is a very serious thing affecting a majority of people. The fact that people fall for these scams shows how desperate some people are for a positive human interaction.

[@Makiyura]

Bingo, it can drive even the most calm person to a breaking point.

[@Lurklen]

People are also just really susceptible to that kind of stimuli and attention. Even people who aren't lonely can fall victim to being made to feel special. Even happy people can kind of be tricked by the way their brain reacts to being singled out and engaged with, thinking that they need more of that, even though before they started to receive that attention they were perfectly happy. We start to feel loss for something we never even wanted or needed once it goes away, because we kind of judge by the peaks and valleys of our stimuli, instead of the norm, even if that norm trends high on happiness. It's pretty messed up, and it's caused so many happy people who think they are safe to fall into addiction and for dreadful scams. It is a con strategy as old as people, and really this is just another form of it. It's a flaw in how we work.

[@chand911]

I mean. You can be lonely and not be a parasocial nutcase. It takes a modicum of common sense and self-awareness to not get hung up on a model.

[@fifilamour1344]

This should be called the 'incel gambit'. It's not loneliness that's causing this sort of creepy exploitation, it's greed & misogyny.

[@GorehowlBeardhead]

@@fifilamour1344 the more we just throw about social justice buzzwords like children, the longer it's going to take us to actually resolve this societal issue. It is absolutely loneliness that drives men to send money to women they've never met to share a pseudo-intimate moment with them. And not just sexual/romantic loneliness. I'll bet you anything most of the men with a healthy active social group aren't doing it either. I can personally say the period of my life where I was subbing to OF and thinking nothing of it was the loneliest point of my life. (Not my autocorrect trying to change that to 'loveliest' without me noticing >.>) Misogyny absolutely plays a role in why it's got so widespread and why some care significantly less about the implications than others. But the two are not mutually exclusive and while misogyny feeds the attitude, loneliness feeds the market directly. We need to consider both and not just dismiss entire factors of the argument because we have a big word to use.

I'm not surprised by the one about people impersonating influencers, and in fact I've very likely come across job postings for them before! Yes, it assuredly is a scam once they start declaring that they are the actual person, but the problem is that it stems off of a real job and people are probably too embarrassed to sue when they realize what's going on. The real job is just being a social media manager, which is what the job postings are billed as, but the details will kind of give it away or at least cue you in that it's a bit shady. Being a social media manager is perfectly okay, a well-established job, and even involves impersonating a person, character, or brand. Because of this, they can claim that there's no difference between that and what they were doing, so to battle someone in court over it would be extremely costly and might catch the public eye.

I recently listened to a local (non-English) podcast featuring a comedian who had several jobs impersonating people.

@@roundearthshill248 I mean it was a joke, all done in good fun to poke fun at his own error, but you know, insults are fun to chuck around I guess 🤷‍♂️

The OF typers thing reminds me of phone numbers that kids could call in the early 90s and leave a message for Santa about what they wanted for Xmas

[@kassemjenkins]

Except for the Willy Wonka stuff, I wouldn't really call these "scams", it just repackaged versions of things people have been doing for centuries. OF is just the new adult phone hotline.

[@XiaolinDraconis]

right like it's new or something lol. They were not talking to the hot chick that showed up on the tv telling you about her 1800 number. We all knew it was auntie ethel on the line and she probably had a pack of marlboro's right there.

[@alderoth01]

Hey, there is a market for everything lmao!! I'm all for people talking with AI as long as people know it's an AI. I don't mind people sexting with an AI. Anybody get upset about it they can just NOT do it lol. As far as OF models pretending to talk to fans who pay, totally against that. 100%.

[@MelodicQuest]

Yes. There's literally a huge market for AI chatbots. Guys don't care if they're talking to a robot. They DO care if they're being lied to.

[@alderoth01]

@omarguillenrules that's the only catch with guys lol. As long as you tell the truth they will do what they are gonna do lol. Wish I knew how to build an AI chat bot. I'd make all sorts of apps for lonely dudes to talk to lol.

[@DamnedEyez]

You'd think this would fall under False Advertising, but who would be willing to bring a suit against them if it is?

"My ancestors came from Europe? I thought I was American!" lol

[@viralmedia]

Since the advent of these sites, I've only assumed this is being done. It's only logical that if somone with thousands or millions of fans would happen to have ANY time between content and life would have time to "personally" respond to DM's. I liken it to Santa (metaphorically) in being able to visit every child in the world in one night, when it's really relatives leaving the gifts.

[@danielalonso4662]

I still believe amouranth faked that whole abusive husband thing.

[@xLiloScaries]

This is definitely nuts....I had no idea this stuff could go even lower.

[@elibot]

Like... surely that must be fraud? That legal case would be absolute hilarity though because she defrauded people by pretending to be a pimp and laundering the money through a referral link, so every plaintiff would have to take the fifth on the stand. I would 100% watch this episode of Boston Legal

[@dezpotizmOFheaven]

It's like paying for a Porsche GT3 RS and they actually just hand out a VW Golf. It's not just scam, it's illegal because they do not provide you what they tell you they would.

[@MrOPD]

The video ending with your channel overlay popping up next to the "is looking for an unvaxxed sperm donor" is certainly a nice touch.

[@aliquidcow]

The announcement of the death of a celebrity who never have really existed because they were really an AI... We are truly living inside of a William Gibson novel at this point.

[@minthouse6338]

The Willy Wonka event was only bordering on a scam. There was no licensing anywhere on the ad to say it was an official Willy Wonka theme event. It's like someone marketing a Frozen event, if there's no Disney mentioned anywhere - you got to be suspicious.

[@19auhsoJ]

Oh ya! A couple years ago I found out my sister-in-law’s cousin is a writer for OF. There’s a whole agency devoted to it!

[@L1ama]

The Ines Helene saga is so much weirder than just the fake IG pics, she was more active on twitter and had a very elaborate persona built up over many years

[@Enonymouse_]

Botting engagement on social media seems to be common.

[@BloodDiamoond]

A lot of people in the industry know about agencies taking over OnlyFans to the point people make threads of who has agency ran OF & who doesn't

[@liptongtr]

Even if I was a person that would buy only fans, I wouldn't be dumb enough to think that these creators with thousands of "fans" would be chatting directly with me.
