I have 2 recurring subs. I feel it's the most ethical way to consume porn. I found two who I like, don't constantly bombard me with spam, and respond to dms in a genuine (seeming) way. I get paid enough I can afford $12 a month plus ocassional customs. I still use free porn on pornhub.
For me, the ability to get customs whenever I please + the bit of socialization is nice. It's like buying from a farmers market rather than a chain, even if the "chain" is free I guess. I show up, I get some produce I'm reasonably confident I know the source and conditions from, I have a bit of chitchat about the farm, I leave. AFAIK it mostly goes to them and they're not being pressured into it. This is obviously impossible to 100% verify So you just gotta try your best.
They're not top and don't have thousands of followers so there's still at least the illusion of personal connection. This is kinda key to me. I've tried out top posters in the past and it's not my thing. It feels a lot more like paying for free porn and bot responses.
There's also a different dynamic to get a ding and hey its bewbz of someone I "know". Yeah sure I could google them whenever, but it being "external" rather than I ternary motivated and a recurring person is different to loading up the ol' hub for a crank on somoneone I'll never know the name of or see again. To be honest, most of the time I don't even wank. I see some nice tits or nice ass, appreciate them for a moment, and then move on with my day. It's almost like mindfulness just sexy. In a world where everything is so fast paced and anonymous, seeing the same boobs again and again is oddly refreshing.
When I was a teenager I was heavily addicted to porn and it was ruining my life. Honestly onlyfans was a big part of me turning that around.
Also one of the girls speaks in my target language so that's a bonus, too. Boobs really help language stick. I've paid for customs that include language tutoring and 1v1 "flash"card sessions. It's fun and I have the disposable income to do ot occasionally so why not.
So yeah, there's an answer from somone who has 12 bucks of recurring and spends an extra 50 every couple of months. For what it's worth.
