secret300 ( @secret300@lemmy.sdf.org ) English65•2 months agoI personally never understood dropping out when something like this happeneds. Like bro now you got the money to have the degree and not worry about paying it off. Might as well have it just to have it
bizarroland ( @bizarroland@fedia.io ) 12•2 months agoIn some ways I understand it though. I’m sure the pecking order and bragging rights of being one of the only fans people that makes enough money to classify yourself in like the top 5% of income earners in America is probably more thrilling and exciting than having a PhD.
Plus, if she’s going for her PhD she probably already has her master’s degree so it’s not like she gave up academia entirely without getting anything from it.
That being said, I still agree with you. If you were close enough to be in the program you might as well just finish it off. What’s it going to do, stop you from posting your photos on only fans?

JackbyDev ( @JackbyDev@programming.dev ) English15•2 months agoSo I’m reading this debunking, and
Zara smartly leveraged the viral moment to confront the misinformation head-on and promote her YouTube channel, where her actual content lies.
So I go to her YouTube channel https://youtube.com/@zara-dar and,
Description
STEM Gal and Model Austin, Texas.Message me:
https://ZaraDarz.comMost recent video is https://youtu.be/_uEG0H4RXcA where she says she is making an OnlyFans (I’m not going to watch the full 10 minutes so unless this is an elaborate prank that’s revealed in the end…)
Go to https://ZaraDarz.com which is listed as her website on her YouTube channel
STEM Gal | PhD Dropout | OnlyFans model
Go to the OnlyFans link https://onlyfans.com/zaradar/c3
If you are a sapiosexual, this page is for you 😉 (Please click “more info” below 🥹)
Texas-born and bred, engineer, Ph.D. dropout, and YouTuber. I’m a nerd with a passion for art, fitness, and reading.
On this page, I share with you my artistically and beautifully curated exclusive content which includes a level of nudity and my love for erotica 📸. I love pushing my boundaries with you 😉.
Also this Instagram page links to her website (the one mentioned on her YouTube) and is from at least as far back as December 2022 https://www.instagram.com/zara.darz/ which also mentions she is a 🌶️ Content Creator and links to an exclusive invite only Instagram page.
And I’m just rereading your comment and seeing that you said the debunk article is AI slop, I thought you were saying that article called others AI slop lmao.
Well, if anyone else misreads it they can also see this too now lol.
technocrit ( @technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English22•2 months agoCapitalism is a completely inefficient and unsustainable grift based on serving privileged white wieners.
𝓔𝓶𝓶𝓲𝓮 ( @Emmie@lemm.ee ) English18•2 months agoI watched the video and it is very convincing and honestly true on many levels. If you can earn much better money from being your own boss then why would you want to spend time with those assholes at work for less?
I am doing it myself just not as successful and not porn because I like privacy.
There is something strange about her and this whole thing though. I can’t help to think it’s all some kind of stunt or AI person idk. Something is uncanny. Maybe it is just the autism that radiates from her that throws me off and looks like AI.
We live in the times when it is increasingly hard to tell what is real. And also honestly if she was compsci phd and machine learning expert at this level 1 million is nothing vs what potentially she could make right now with that background and shrewd. There’s so much money in this right now, you just don’t drop to do porn when we have second internet revolution for better or worse. Something doesn’t add up.
arsCynic ( @arsCynic@beehaw.org ) English11•2 months agoI suspect it’s AI generated too. Look at her right shoulder after around the 30 second mark: https://youtube.com/shorts/Cks_9h9Nx_Q, it’s all jittery. Quite a cunning plan if that is the case though; carefully crafting a PhD persona and doing instructional videos for a year so men slowly fall in love, and then go full-bore on explicit content.
𝓔𝓶𝓶𝓲𝓮 ( @Emmie@lemm.ee ) English5•2 months agoI think it may be the case of AI augmentation techniques. I do not think the whole person is artificial outright. The older the video the more clear it should be.
What can we tell is 100% real is onlyfans money and someone actually being in front of the camera.
Kinda makes you want to try to pull off something like this doesn’t it? Whether it is the case or not it really looks like an exciting way to make some money on the side.
At least before such things become super common
arsCynic ( @arsCynic@beehaw.org ) English2•2 months agoAugmentation does make more sense indeed.
Kinda makes you want to try to pull off something like this doesn’t it?
With OnlyFans I don’t think I’ve a problem, yet. But lying about one’s identity they’re selling I do consider as immoral, so no.
𝓔𝓶𝓶𝓲𝓮 ( @Emmie@lemm.ee ) English2•2 months agoI do not have such problems 😂 but I appreciate generally that there are way more people who are concerned with such things. Makes society possible probably. Let’s hope it never changes.
However any perceived issues with lying about identity cannot be raised in the context of online porn. The lie is the key to the entertainment. End result is what matters with onlyfans. There is no deception where there wasn’t any truth from the beginning. Porn is deception. When someone treats it as real they become disordered and not aligned to the real world.
Not to mention the family friendly YouTubers being very distant from the definition of “real”. You didn’t think they all present their real selves in front of the camera? Showbiz is all smoke and mirrors. There was never any real identity there.
However yes this is probably the most wrong account you would want to have parasocial relationship with. Not that there are any right.

magnetosphere ( @magnetosphere@fedia.io ) 12•2 months agoI hope she’s saving for retirement. How does she expect to make money when she gets older and the OnlyFans crowd no longer wants to masturbate to her videos?
ImplyingImplications ( @ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca ) English49•2 months agoNobody sees a sports athlete get a million dollar contract and says “I hope this guy is saving for retirement. How does he expect to make money when he can’t pitch fastballs at 100 mph?” Why does this comment only happen to women being models?
edric ( @scytale@lemm.ee ) English34•2 months agoIt’s actually discussed a lot in sports. There are many stories of athletes who earned millions and were broke just a couple of years after retirement because they didn’t have the right people around to help them prepare.
I’m a basketball fan, so here’s an example: https://fadeawayworld.net/20-nba-players-who-went-broke-and-lost-millions-of-dollars
In a 2009 report published by Sports Illustrated, it was estimated that 60% of NBA players will go broke within 5 years of retiring.
reallykindasorta ( @reallykindasorta@slrpnk.net ) English8•2 months agoI have a theory about that that I’ll now subject lemmy to! Professional sportsers are often heavily managed from a very young age (practice schedules, diet monitoring, weightlifting regime, traveling). Even in college they often have to sign up for special versions of classes to fit with their schedules (on top of the diet/exercise/practice/travel) making fewer of their own day to day decisions than their peers. When they leave the sport they don’t have all these other people dictating their lives anymore but they haven’t had enough experience living on their own or room to make certain mistakes they would have learned from if they’d been in charge of more of their time and decisions.
magnetosphere ( @magnetosphere@fedia.io ) 4•2 months agoFrom what I’ve heard, you’re right. While athletes are pulling in money for the people upstairs, people take care of them. Once they retire, they become worthless to management/ownership, so they’re thrown to the wolves. With no money management skills of their own, a lot of them go broke.
bizarroland ( @bizarroland@fedia.io ) 4•2 months agoYeah recently heard a sports announcer saying that it was amazing that a 31-year-old was playing at the level that they were.
I was like, bro, he’s 31. What the fuck.
magnetosphere ( @magnetosphere@fedia.io ) 6•2 months agoI guess I’m weird, then, because I think that - especially regarding Olympic athletes in sports that don’t have much of a following.
TheReturnOfPEB ( @TheReturnOfPEB@reddthat.com ) English3•2 months agoi just repeated what others below said better
a ton of famous athletes go broke after retiring because they are retired at like 35 or 40 with an unsustainable lifestyle. So many bad car dealerships and bad restruarants are retired pro athletes trying to maintain a lifestyle that they should have avoided while destroying their body for cash.
Tinidril ( @Tinidril@midwest.social ) English22•2 months agoIf she’s not a complete idiot, she probably already has more retirement savings than the average gen-xer. Assuming the pyramid scheme that is our stock market keeps growing, she might have already saved all she needs to. If the bubble collapses, she will just be living in a mad max apocalypse with the rest of us.

I’m not endorsing that system, I’m just evaluating it based on how people act.

magnetosphere ( @magnetosphere@fedia.io ) 4•2 months agoIf one posted here, I sure would! It’s a shame when people who have usually been exploited most of their lives are allowed to go bankrupt.
originalfrozenbanana ( @originalfrozenbanana@lemm.ee ) English1•2 months agoYou think a woman choosing to enter sex work is being exploited?
