I think it's likely also some amount of wanting to support people. I know I've added subscriptions to some streamers I've always watched because I'm watching more of their content now that I'm at home all the time. It only seems fair to pay them for their work if they're entertaining me for an hour or two each day.

I don't care if they think I'm their friend. They're providing a service that I enjoy and I should pay for it, especially now when I have the money to do so and other people may not. If you could pay $5 a month for weekly episodes of your favorite TV show, I'm guessing most folks would?

That's true. I should've clarified that I was referring to whales. People who are donating five figures are much more likely to fall into the "I want them to be my best friend" category.

I used to subscribe to Twitch streams of pros that would play the game with their subscribers. 5 bucks a month to play a game I love with a professional? Heck yes. Playing soccer with Messi would cost a ton more.

Slightly shameful plug: I wrote about Bella/OF in my most recent newsletter issue.

Are newsletters the onlyfans for people selling their words instead of their looks and moves?

I've heard that comparison before, and it's apt. I'm not selling anything though.
