Capitalism is a completely inefficient and unsustainable grift based on serving privileged white wieners.
I 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
Academia is misogynist enough without an OF account. She's leaving a shitty job not just a low paying job.
You can always get that degree later when your income slows down. You'll have more total money if you dedicate yourself full-time to the money-making endeavour.
Seen half a dozen posts like this recently. Always screams misogynistic outrage bait to me.
This is actually sad to see.
"An advocate of women in science until recently" makes you think what really are their priorities.
academia is toxic for everyone, but especially for women, and especially in STEM
??? everyone's priority is money. obviously. how is this a shock?
Why do people become teachers in the US? Certainly isn't "for the money".
Most of the time, folks who become teachers don't have a million dollar career as an alternative.
I'm just giving a basic example of people being motivated outside of money. There are other lines of work that are easier or pay better or both.
Money makes things possible, people will do things they love for the passion of it, but without enough money it isn't feasible. It's capitalism, folks
just checked out her channel. she links to her onlyfans in the about section and her most recent video is titled: "PhD dropout to onlyfans model." your linked article claims she used the rumor to her advantage, so maybe its just that? but cant confirm since the vid is 18+ on youtube and i dont have an account anymore.
The fake news is fake news apparently. She has a video on her YouTube where she describes the whole thing and it seems true. However, I don't know what sort of content she does on OnlyFans. She does show the max amount of cleavage possible on YouTube, but I'm not sure if she shows more than that on any other platform. Everything I could find was actual science content, except she is a very attractive lady wearing revealing clothes while telling the story. But I know OnlyFans also does chats for example where pictures don't need to be exchanged at all, people will pay just to talk to an attractive person. She might also do feet pics, which can be highly valuable to some people.
So it's implied she sorta dropped out of school to do porn. But it's nothing like that, she has a couple of degrees already, had a nice side project going with her content creation on multiple platforms including YouTube and didn't see a future for herself with the path she was on. So she switched to doing content creation fulltime.
Maybe her fan base is sapio sexual... still a waste of talent ._. (but I would do the same... one million to fuck on cam? Per year??? Deal!)
