> An average OnlyFans account makes about $150 per month

Much as I'd like to stay out of this thread, I can't resist - that average includes both male and female account owners (of unknown distribution) right? (You haven't said otherwise.) So what does that say about GP's argument?
I don't doubt this and I do reckon the average creator on OnlyFans makes a lot less than you'd think, especially from the outliers, but I'd be curious as to how this was calculated. I suspect there's a hell of a lot of inactive creators / ones with one or two followers for example.
Ironically, it’s probably the same problem that men faced in dating, a tiny percentage of the top get all the attention while the rest languishes.

Even more ironic, because I’m both cases it us about sex, and women control the sexual domain; women in both of these dynamics are squandering and running unrealized value.

These dynamics are at extreme civilization ending levels, as sooner of us will surely experience first hand, likely sooner than we may think, because the effects are extremely lagging because there are several phases that must be stepped through before the terminal state becomes apparent.

Those are common tropes in certain circles, but none of what you wrote is true as even a few moments of thinking about it analytically will confirm. For example, say that top 1% of attractive men are each maintaining 10 relationships - an absurdly high number - that might change things slightly for the top decile but does it really affect the median at all?

There are some people who push this for political or marketing reasons (think about how much money Andrew Tate or Jordan Petersen have made this way) but a lot of it depends on selectively ignoring the evidence. All of the men who I’ve heard talk like this have some combination of unrealistic expectations (Elon Musk can party with rock stars because his wealth is measured in hundreds of billions; J. Random IT Worker needs to bring more to the table) or, almost universally, being unwilling to accept that their attitudes and politics were the underlying cause. This can be tragic where you know women who are looking for men who won’t rape them or treat them like NPCs and men who are convinced that the problem is their lack of abs, and the latter spend all of their time hanging out with other men telling them to treat women as NPCs and only considering the hottest people they know.

That sounds much higher than I expected. I would expect the average OnlyFans account to make much much less than $150 over its lifetime. I wouldn't be surprised if the majority of users make less than $20 total.
And average youtube account makes probably $2
I've seen most are at a lose.
