Supporting an adult creator means recognizing the person behind the work, ESPECIALLY when life interrupts it and content/services are delayed. Shit happens. People get sick, have bad mental health days, etc. A little grace goes far. Their humanity is not a customer service issue.

550 adult creators took the State of the Creator survey last year, & their answers sent more than $8,000 to SWer organizations. This year @SWR_data is going for 1,000 creators and $10,000. Comment on this post and we'll DM you the survey link!

Ask performers what keeps them in this industry and many will say it's the people. Hear creators talk about community and why having people who understand your work makes all the difference. #FSCSpeakOut @EPAUnited

One of the major reasons for all the attacks on it. Can't have the "wrong" type of people making money.

Today, we sent a letter to all our creators announcing a major change in MintStars’ ownership. We’re giving our creators a 20% financial stake in MintStars. Moving forward, the company will be co-owned by you, and all MintStars creators will have the opportunity to share in the profit of the platform they helped grow. All workers, but especially s*x workers, should have ownership in the companies they help build.

The porn industry is largely made up of queerdos, creating queer-coded content and generating billions for queer women. That's something to be proud of.
New Pride data shows an adult industry dominated by LGBTQ+ creators. Nearly 70% adult creators say they fall somewhere on the LGBTQ+ spectrum. The adult industry is an industry of queer women. So where's our float? open.substack.com/pub/swrdat…

Creators have become the main casualties in the War on Porn, as age-verification laws and other censorship initiatives have kneecapped creators incomes over the past year. And it's hitting already struggling creators hardest.
Are you making less money this year than last? You're not alone. New data shows how age-verification laws have hurt the adult creator economy. SWR investigates whether the boom is over. substack.com/@swrdata/note/p…

"Cammers also tend to be whiter and cis female than the creator population as a whole." - SWR Data This proves to me that the reason I'm in this for 23 years and counting as black cis-female is me working against all of the odds!

I feel like every adult creator needs to read this. The data doesn't lie and @SWR_data has the receipts. Age verification laws are gutting our income and this article lays out exactly how: thebaffler.com/latest/papers…

I’m not “selling my body,” by being an OF creator. I have full control over my body and my content. I practice consent and no one tells me what I can and can’t do. My body is also a multidimensional vessel I use for more than just sexual means. My body is not for sale.

What’s your best tactic for motivating fans to buy customs, and how often do you promote them without it feeling pushy?

love fansly for my clips and general freedom of kink, but also it's amazing that sextpanther (also very kink friendly!) is #6 considering it is mainly active/live interaction with users as opposed to mainly passive (clip sales)! amazing! 🙌🏻
