This was made really obvious in Khalil's "YouTube Has Killed My Channel!!!" video. It was originally titled "YouTube Has Become a Sexist Platform". In it they whine about how she gets demonetized, and in a desperate attempt to make it carry weight, they try to jump on the feminism train and claim it's because YouTube is sexist. As in, YouTube demonetizes women because they're women. And as if that wasn't laughable enough, they then go on to show an example of bikini videos on other channels that are monetized, literally countering their own point.Her and Khalil are holding on to this notion that they aren't doing anything but modeling for their fans that love fashion! And in actuality they both (and us) know that they are just making content for guys -to be blunt- masturbate to.
Even more laughably, she says her channel is to "inform people"...and that she had trouble finding stuff that fit her and would spend weeks going back and forth with companies, so she thought she would just share her knowledge, and "is it my fault that all of a sudden I get sexual comments?"
Riiiight. 63 million views and almost half a million subscribers...from chicks interested in what size they should order clothes in. I'm sure that's who those 1,006 patrons paying a monthly subscription fee are too. Not sure who she thinks she's fooling. I have a hard time believing she can even fool herself with that, but then again you can't underestimate the power of denial.
(Which by the way, a week ago it was only 880.) Obviously not a coincidence she recently started "gaming" on Twitch. Logical next move. Plenty of geeks willing to fork over money there, particularly for (even just decent looking) chicks...and they don't even have to do anything sexual.
Tug of war
The battle is between the desire to cash in and make easy money off your looks, versus the psychological need to avoid the negative perception that comes with crossing certain lines. The youtube channel I can understand the āIām just modeling, like a Victoriaās Secret angelā mental justification. And Katās Patreon content is essentially the same as a youtube channel. Khalil on Patreon is a bit more obvious about what the point of it is, so Iām not sure how she works that in her mind.
Theyāll go for nudity when the payoff is greater than the perceived negative stigma.
These days though, that stigma is lower than ever. Between Playboy, sexting (and celebrity leaks), and the popularity of camgirl-type sites (basically the platforms covered in the forum), and just the level of sexual content on vanilla social media, itās gotten to a point where itās not much of a big deal for the public at large. Definitely doesnāt hurt anyoneās career.
I actually think some of these chicks would go for it if the money was right. Khalil for sure. If Playboy called and offered maybe even half a yearās pay sheād jump in a heartbeat. (But of course part of that would be the prestige of being featured by a popular magazine/brand.)
How?
There used to be a site called āThePoint.com.ā It was basically a crowdfunding platform like Kickstarter, before Kickstarter existed. Someone could set up a page for a particular issue and people could pledge money toward a proposed action. The originator would only receive the money and have to deliver on the proposal if the pledges reached a set goal (the ātipping pointā). (Interesting history, eventually one group decided their goal was to save money by rounding up people to buy the same product in order to receive a group discount...the founder of the site saw an opportunity and pivoted the company focus, starting Groupon.)
Anyway, the concept of all-or-nothing funding is a pretty good one (as shown by Kickstarter copying the platform and still going strong 10 years later). It seems like a way some of these āteaseā girls would actually get to the next level.
If there was a way to do a pledge campaign in a semi-private way, it seems feasible. Kickstarter doesnāt allow āPornographic materialā, so even though nudity isnāt necessarily porn, itās doubtful theyād allow a campaign for a nude photoshoot.
Is there a Kickstarter alternative that could be used for something like that?
