The discussion ended with the possibility of joining OnlyFans, but with reservations about how it might be perceived.

OnlyFans: A Platform for Income During Lockdown: During lockdown, OnlyFans saw growth as people turned to it for income. Creators earn by sharing content with subscribers, from common to unusual niches. Potential earnings are high but oversaturation and stigma are risks.
OnlyFans, a content subscription platform, experienced significant growth during the lockdown period as many people turned to it as a source of income. The platform allows creators to earn money by sharing content with subscribers, and the content can range from foot pictures to comedy routines, and even unusual niches. While the potential for earning money is high, there is also a risk of oversaturation and the stigma surrounding the platform may deter some. A few examples given include an Irish girl earning $10 a week by sending pictures of her feet, a hairdresser making nearly $2 a month by doing videos of smashing birthday cakes with her ass, and a girl who set up an OnlyFans dedicated to brushing her teeth but currently earns only $40 a month. Despite the potential earnings, there is a stigma attached to the platform, and some may find the content awkward or uncomfortable. However, for those willing to embrace it, OnlyFans could be a viable way to earn income.
