I think people don't pay for porn, people pay to be able to interact with the girl.

Especially with those with 1000s of subscribers - how are people fooling themselves into thinking that they don't have someone answering their messages for them?

Some of the most popular ones have whole crews for filming - why should social media be something they do on their own?

I kind of get it for the ones with few subscribers though

Our brains are highly effective at tricking us. And if a person is desperate for attention, they will fall into this trap. You're thinking rationally, but there's nothing rational about that in the right (or should I say wrong?) state of mind.

In that case, OF and sites like that do more damage than good. Instead of having a healthy real world relationship with someone, you get stuck in a dream world.

True. Real world relationships however are hard to obtain and hard to maintain. So many people, especially those that are deemed "not normal", due to looks or behavior, are giving up on that and instead give in to these easy surrogates. It is sad, but not like society presents any solutions.

Yeah, to be honest, that is true...
