I understand that some of the criticism comes from conservatives but the sentiment seems to extend far beyond thst. Of course, I understand it when it's forced or when someone only does it to survive against their will. But if people genuinely want to do it, why do people hate on them?

Personally, I think influencer/hustle culture, parasocial relations, personal "brands" are a rot on society coming from the worst parts of capitalism. The influencer benefits from alienation and I think that's wrong. I don't think an OF model is any worse than any other influencer. I also think a lot of OF models didn't feel they had many options when they started. But the really successful ones could get out or be less parasocial or something.
