How do you know?
I don't need to, you made the statement.So back it up, how many blokes have made complaints and nothing has been done?
As i stated Ron had many complaints, finally got banned.
What you posted is similar to what Ron jeremy said.
'' Jeremy says, his behavior with fans and other performers is well within the bounds of acceptability. “There is ‘put on’ flirting and touching for the photos,” says Jeremy. “This is exactly what people pay me for at conventions. The female performers flirt and touch too. It’s what we do.”''
yet
''Yet many performers Rolling Stone spoke with say that Jeremy’s behavior is not considered standard in the adult industry at all. Some say they believe Jeremy uses his public persona as a lovable lech as a smokescreen for violating other performers’ consent, particularly in public spaces where such behavior would otherwise be considered morally reprehensible at best and criminal at worst.''

Got this on the box, may delete without viewing.
Louis did the porn industry years ago, it was grim viewing back then, will this involve new insight?
It feels a tad like Louis is going through the motions; take the BBC cheque - crimp out three programmes all on subjects previously covered much more adequately years ago - move on.

It had its dark bits on Episode 3, the French bloke especially who effectively bullied women into anal. Notice the reference to "my grandad" taught me the method etc.....more like you was abused, horrific.
By no means was the hippy lot pegging each other any better....that was cult like. He could easily be escalating them into all sorts away from the cameras.
Ron Jeremy bird, well what can you say, into drugs, then moved onto 20 blokes instead of 1 after a "traumatic" incident????
Also I can't believe that bird was earning half a million a month. Thats 3000 subscribers paying 50 quid a month!
It appears that she charges 10 dollars a month, but she also charges for individual videos. She's got thousands of subscribers.By no means was the hippy lot pegging each other any better....that was cult like. He could easily be escalating them into all sorts away from the cameras.

Anyone know how much of a cut onlyfans take?

I may be in a tiny minority, or not, but the whole porn culture/thing seems grim and seedy, even if it has become mainstream via the Internet.Louis did the porn industry years ago, it was grim viewing back then, will this involve new insight?

I think it goes deeper than the porn industry. Strippers, prostitutes/escorts and all that stuff is awash with seedy creeps and exploited women. A lot of men think it's a glamorous industry and the women love doing their job.

Its been long known that sex work be it porn, stripping and escorting have long ties with organised crime.A lot of men think it's a glamorous industry and the women love doing their job.
The whole earning 6 figures a month doing onlyfans i don’t believe to be true, they may have had a month but to be consistently hitting that number is just not realistic.

I can believe a couple do. Mia Malkova has 10 million Instagram followers and hundreds of thousands on Twitch. She could easily have some 10's of thousands of subscribers at 10 dollars a pop, plus the earnings from additional paid content.Like YouTube I suspect it's a bit of a scam, where a handful of people are raking it in but the vast majority of people producing content make naff all.

Look at the English bloke he interviewed, the sneaky fukker skirted and avoided answering his questions by stalling each time walking around the shop he owned. He's been doing that for years, imagine how he treats people normally when not under the camera.A lot of men think it's a glamorous industry and the women love doing their job.
As with others this series felt like a bit too routine for LT and he is struggling now as everything is so exposed through the very social platforms he discussed.
i wouldn't say routine i would say its a mixture of boring topics and him not spending enough time with people he is talking to.
Louis best shows have always been where he spends and extended amount of time with a person. He almost lives with them and shows the mix of them being Human but also their crazy views. Over the course of the time he would interject with a view or observation and leave it to the audience to form their view.
This current series feels like even Louis isn't that interested in what he is talking about, maybe the world has gotten smaller due to YouTube and social media meaning the taboo topics he once dived into aren't really that hidden anymore.

The time is key I think. This series he's clearly just rocking up and doing an interview over a few hours whereas in the past he'd be there for days.Louis best shows have always been where he spends and extended amount of time with a person.

That woman talking emotionally about being raped who had also been on various, erm, adventures, including in Amsterdam with many random blokes was certainly an odd situation (Various mentions throughout the prog about being groped/squeezed), I know "consent" and all that, but all seems a bit peculiar to someone with a fairly stadard monogamous suburban life.
The French guy who specialised in teaching "new techniques" to attractive young women , and had been taught by his grandfather. Wtf???
The Onlyfans creators/artists. Seemed a bit sleazy, sad.
What sort of person subscribes to them?
What must a life like some of those people have do to you? I wonder how many end up with problems and how many become fairly normal, well-adjusted, old people?
Do the blokes enjoy their work?

I think most of the women that end up in the sex trade already have problems. They just get used to being abused, discarded and treated like pieces of sDo the blokes enjoy their work?
t. Men will paint the picture that the money compensates the abuse and think the women enjoy it.
