I’ve been online for 15 years.

That’s 15 years of building audiences, losing platforms overnight, rebuilding from scratch, and having millions of interactions with strangers across every platform you can think of — before most of them were even mainstream.

And in that time I’ve realised something.

Every single person I’ve ever encountered online… male or female — falls into one of 9 types.

Not permanently. Not exclusively. Most of us have moved between more than one of them depending on where we were at in life. I know I have.

Here they are:
1. The Parasocial Boyfriend — he doesn’t think he’s a fan. He thinks he knows you.
2. The Abuser Who Consumes — your most loyal viewer and your most vicious critic. Sometimes within the same hour.
3. The Genuinely Decent Man — he exists in far higher numbers than anyone gives him credit for. He just doesn’t make noise.
4. The Transactional Tourist — he’s here for something specific. When he gets it he leaves.
5. The Covert Competitor — she’s not a fan. She’s benchmarking. And sometimes it tips into something much darker than that.
6. The Moral Enforcer — she’s decided you are the problem. Not the industry, not the platforms, not the men consuming it. You specifically.
7. The Quiet Witness — she’s been watching for years and never said a word. Until one day she does and it floors you completely.
8. The Aspiring Creator — she wants to do what you do and she’s trying to work out if she can. She’s already in your DMs.
9. The Content Thief — they never followed you. They never messaged you. You don’t know they exist until someone sends you a link.

Save this. Share it if it resonates. And drop a comment telling me which type you’ve encountered most — or which one you recognise in yourself.

Because I think if we’re being honest, most of us have been more than one of these at some point.

I know I have. 🖤

Nobody tells you that surviving something hard isn’t the achievement.

The achievement is what you build from it.

Struggle without meaning is just suffering.

But metabolised into art, into wisdom, into the thing that reaches someone at 2am who thinks nobody else has ever felt this way —

That’s alchemy.

That’s the whole point.

This is the post I should have pinned years ago.
15 years. Multiple platforms built and lost.
An award on a shelf somewhere.
A ADHD diagnosis that finally made everything make sense. And more conversations than I can count with people who just needed someone to be honest with them.

I’m not starting over.
I’m just finally saying it out loud.

If any of this sounds familiar — you’re in the right place. 🖤

Ps- I didn’t realise how tricky it would be to cram some of my life into 1 post 🙈😂

Spending years talking to people online gives you a different perspective on how the internet actually works.

Not the surface-level version people see publicly, but the quieter side of the conversations that happen privately.

When people talk about subscription platforms, online creators, or the digital creator economy, the assumption is usually pretty straightforward.

That it’s all about explicit content.

But the reality is often much more layered than that.

Over time I’ve had thousands of conversations with men from all over the world, and something that rarely gets acknowledged openly is how many of them are navigating life feeling disconnected.

Not just women experience loneliness.

Men do too.

There are men going months, sometimes even years, without intimacy or meaningful connection. And behind the confident profiles people show online, many are dealing with pressure around success, expectations about masculinity, and very few spaces where they feel comfortable speaking honestly.

Dating apps were meant to make meeting people easier.

But for many, they’ve turned relationships into something that feels almost algorithm-driven. Profiles, swipes, metrics and attention.

Connection doesn’t really work like that.
It usually grows through conversation, curiosity and genuine interaction.

And one thing I’ve noticed repeatedly is that the reason people stay on subscription platforms isn’t always what outsiders assume.

It’s not just the content.

It’s the interaction.
Voice messages.
Daily chats.
Check-ins.

Real conversations that go beyond quick surface exchanges.

In many ways parts of the internet have quietly become modern confessionals, where people talk about things they don’t feel comfortable sharing anywhere else.

Breakups.
Loss.
Stress.
Depression.

The everyday realities people carry with them.
At different stages of life almost everyone experiences loneliness in some form.

Men and women simply tend to express it differently.

But underneath everything happening online, most people aren’t actually chasing attention.

They’re looking for connection.

Curious if you think technology is helping people connect, or making it more difficult?

After spending years talking to people online, you start noticing patterns.

Not the obvious ones people talk about on the surface of the internet, but the quieter ones that happen in private conversations.

When people talk about subscription platforms, adult creators, or the digital creator economy, the assumption is usually very simple.

That it’s just about explic!t content.

But that’s rarely the full story.

Over time I’ve had thousands of conversations with men from all over the world, and something that doesn’t get discussed very often is how many people are quietly navigating loneliness.

Not just women.

Men too.

There are men who go months, sometimes years, without intimacy or meaningful connection. And despite how confident people can appear online, many of those conversations reveal the same underlying themes: pressure to succeed, expectations around masculinity, and a lack of spaces where they feel comfortable talking about what’s actually going on in their lives.

Dating apps were supposed to make connection easier.

In reality, they often turn relationships into algorithms. Profiles, swipes, metrics and attention.

But human connection isn’t an algorithm.

It’s built slowly through conversation, curiosity and authenticity.

And one thing I’ve noticed repeatedly is that what keeps people engaged on subscription platforms isn’t usually what people assume.

It isn’t just images or videos.

It’s the interaction.

Voice notes.
Daily chats.
Check-ins.

Real conversations that go beyond surface-level exchanges.

In many ways, parts of the internet have become modern confessionals where people talk about things they don’t tell anyone else.

Grief.
Breakups.
Infidelity.
Depression.
The small moments that make up someone’s day.

At different stages of life, almost everyone experiences loneliness in some form.

Men and women just tend to express it differently.

But underneath it all, the thing most people are actually searching for online isn’t attention.

It’s connection.

I’m curious… do you think technology is helping people connect more, or making it harder?

Some days I’m deep in conversations about human psychology, dating apps and the internet…

Other days I’m just a girl taking photos in good lighting.

One of the strange things about working on the internet is how quickly people decide they understand your personal life.

When people hear that someone works in the adult industry or creates s3xu@l content online, they usually assume a very specific lifestyle.

That intimacy must be constant.
That dating must be chaotic.
That the person behind the screen is living the same story the content suggests.

But content creation and real life are two very different things.

There have been periods of my life where I’ve chosen to be completely abstinent. Not just for a short time, but for months and NOW over 3 years.

And when people hear that, the reaction is usually disbelief.

The internet tends to reduce people to simple labels, especially women whose work challenges traditional ideas about s*xuality. Once that label exists, people stop being curious about the person behind it.

But intimacy and s*xuality are personal. They shift throughout different stages of life, depending on what someone is experiencing, healing, or focusing on.

Sometimes abstinence isn’t about restriction.

Sometimes it’s about clarity.

The internet sees characters.

But behind every profile is a real person living a much more complex life.

(Ps I’m not sharing information about myself for offers to end this 😅 haha it is and has been my choice)
