WOW - what Lana mentioned about how blocking someone refunds them all the money they've ever spent on you? That's a MASSIVE issue. That's basically putting subscribers with more money in a huge position of power in that they can basically buy the right to be abusive. That's seriously not okay. Awesome video, as always.

The problem I have with this kind of thing is that it sells itself as easy money when, in reality, as Maddison mentioned, there is a lot of work to put into it and, for most of the regular folks who aren't celebrities or aren't super attractive or wtv, you'll never get to these numbers. These nudes or videos, if leaked, can ruin your life (and we shouldn't live in this kind of world, but we do).

Like, a lot of people ask me about my job (flight attendant) and when I tell them about the bad aspects and the risks associated with the job, like health risks and the idea that the plane can crash, they do a double-take and re-evaluate. With sw, that often doesn't happen. You're sold the idea that all you have to do is take a decent photo of yourself naked and sell it and you're done.

From Lana’s perspective & advice, Lana has said she doesn’t do what she doesn’t want to do and recommends other sw to not do anything they don’t want to do. With a platform like OF you are completely in control of what content you want to put out the only “pressure” being from your subscribers but even so you’re able to dictate what content you want to make and how- I definitely think some people may feel the pressure to continue to escalate their content but I’m hoping if anyone would watch the interview I did with Lana they would know that’s not valid and they do not have to feel that way.

Transitioning has a 97% success rate. And when it comes to detransitioning, the basics of affirming someone’s gender identity regardless of their physical appearance is crucial for healthy social and emotional state whether it’s the primary transition, or a detransition. and yes, that’s coming directly from detransitioners (a small percentage of transgender populations). let’s not pretend this is about the children. if it were, you would openly support affirming their gender (which does so much to improve mental health without medication or surgery). it’s so cut and dry hope this helps!

Lana seems so sweet and I so appreciated their perspective. I also appreciate you speaking out about this and treating them kindly, as I think it sets an example for people to treat sex workers with respect.

One thing I think immediately comes to mind, at least mine, is there seems to be a common denominator of childhood sexual abuse/childhood trauma. I'm not saying everyone, because I assume there are people who had good childhoods, I may haven't met one yet. There's a stigma attached, not to the abuse, but how it's being dealt with (sex workers having daddy issues from neglect). Sorry this was long, but I'm curious as to the real stigma attached to something people consume while ridiculing it. Hypocrites!

As a Dominatrix & Domme camgirl/OF creator, I would love to enlighten you on the side of sex work that does actually entail being mean. I felt like the interview, while definitely a great interview with many good points, portrays what could just be Dominant creators in a bad light. There are many many men out there who are actively searching for and paying women to be mean to them (including aftercare), because they enjoy it. Financial domination has become a very large thing that is also something many people are acting as if it’s easy money. There is a huge issue with people saying it’s easy money as with the OF issue and proceeding to lure in young women who don’t really understand it to pay for courses and follow suit, not even knowing how to properly be a Domme but thinking it’s just easy because they can be mean and make money (it isn’t that easy, and that is where the interviee in this video definitely has a point!)

OF lowers the bar to get into the sex work for people and sadly many ordinary people, like people who have never worked in the sex work industry, who have a platform on the OF do not realize that how serious and dangerous it can be, like Lana said stalking, doxing, and threatened by other models or fans.

They're just there to attract "customers" for a short while and more importantly to attract naive young women who are being told this is easy and worth it.

Young men and women who choose to do prostitution, whether online or in real life, need to be very cautious and careful because it can potentially ruin a future career/s because of the stigma. When they glamorise this they don’t talk about how much of a big negative impact this can have in a person’s life. Not many can reach the 0.5% of OF, but this will be tied to you for life.

Well Lana is absolutely adorable! So happy you chose to interview her. It was a delight to listen to!

This video is incredible. We don't often see those in the sex industry talking so candidly about their work and how they personally feel about it. The way she described the work gave me a different idea of what it is. She described it as making people happy by allowing them to indulge in a treat or luxury. I've never heard it spoken that way, but that's a legitimate feeling. I think this video has the potential to change how people view this industry. *edited for this afterthought; you certainly brought up a very important point when you stated that these performers need to realize before doing OF, that it will follow them around. It is not a decision to be made lightly.

Love this video! I love the interview. She’s funny and you did really well on asking questions but it made it seem like two friends chatting. I would love seeing more of these interview formats. 😊

"Do they like and subscribe?..." That is the best response to that question ever. Made me smile!!!!

Hands down your best video yet! I loved the interview, wish to see more of them in the future. You put so much work into your videos, I appreciate it so much. All the best to you and Lana Bee and the Happy Mind community ❤️

So true. Victim blaming at its worst. If every sex worker stopped doing sex work because of the fear of an assault or stalker then there would be no porn, no strip clubs, nothing. And people would be pissed then too. There’s no perfect world, but we can improve the laws that protect us. And stalker laws should really be improved.

Lana is so sweet and I love her laugh lmao, this was such a great and informative video with such a balanced approach to OF. I knew I could count on you for such a thorough video on the topic!

i normally find interviews really uncomfortable to watch, but lana is so freaking cute?? love their openness about being neurodivergent and how that can affect/enhance sex work!! and thank you madison for being non-judgmental about sex workers and sex work platforms, it's so lovely to see :3

You did so fantastic for your very first interview! I am not shocked. You are going places! Love your content! Never change.❤️

I absolutely LOVE the fact you went over the negative aspects of having an only fans. I have known too many women from Instagram who felt pressured to make adult content, only to make very little money. With some having family find them on the platform. Or promoting their page on their socials (being the best way to gain subs) and having coworkers find their page and get FIRED. I'm sure some will see that and think it's "wrongful termination." But at the end of the day, some employers see your only fans as a bad reflection of their company. And then making future career search difficult. There is so many future ramifications of making adult content young women do not forsee.

I had a guy dm request me an only fans sign up link. I blocked him, but he was full on trying to get girls under his referrals so he could make money off them while also getting their content. 🤮

I can tell that she has reclaimed her confidence and agency and I couldn't be happier for her. Keep doing what makes you happy!

Also you are an amazing interviewer! I really enjoyed it!

How do u not have more subscribers?!? You do such good, thorough research and although you sometimes you make videos criticizing others, you’re still super respectful sharing your opinion. Been binging your videos!

Does anybody else find the "all my friends are other sex workers" statement a little concerning? I wonder if the public shaming around OF pushes users to stay within the community in the same way that MLM reps tend to build their friend groups based on the highly supportive MLM?

I definitely think the public shaming makes it hard for others to relate & for sw to make friends outside of their industry, tho I’m sure it all depends on the person themselves too and I’m sure their are sw who have friends outside of their industry!

She has been in the industry for years so of course she has made friends along the way. Imo friends are friends. What they do for a living doesn't matter.

it's like having friends at work for anyone else, other sexworkers understand the job in a way people outside the industry don't. A kot of adults make new friends at work, so they'd be other SWers. Plus the stigma associated does make it hard to be open about work and staying quiet about it can be draining if you aren't out to people in your life.

I just finished watching this. I didn't realize my own bias (I didn't think I had any judgements), but watching this I realized I had prejudged many of the "Only Fans" content providers. Lana Bee was funny, smart and caring. As a gay man I didn't realize how fascinating she would be and almost skipped the interview. I was glad I stuck around. THANK YOU!

Missed you. Love your videos. So thorough and in depth. I love it. Glad you are feeling better💜💜

Lana sounded so intelligent and well-informed about her job and it's really respectable how she treats her customers as well as her fellow models and the work ethic she has to put into her career. She was so honest and straightforward about her work and laid it out straight on the table what you had to do to succeed and addressed the glamourisation and romanticization of sex work and how it was wrong. You can tell she does it because she loves it and as a one of those ex anti-sex work feminist this really opened my eyes to a lot.

Honestly, that interview was so eye opening and informative, and what a nice human being. may the sun shine down on both of you

I loved this! the interview was amazing, I loved hearing Lana's perspective, it was fascinating!

This was SO well done, as always. I enjoyed it from start to finish and Lana was fantastic, now I wanna be her friend. Lots of love xoxo

What a wonderful interview!!!! She was is so funny and just so adorable. I love the questions you asked because I see so many kids on tiktok wanting to do this but doesn't know the dangers. I also love how tight knit the sex community is. I love it.

Really loved this vid ! It was very interesting, thank you to Lana Bee for accepting to do this Maddison if you want to include more interviews in future videos I'm here for it 👌

This might be my favorite video you’ve done. You not cutting out the last part about her preferences, your respect for swork and your openness is just a breath of fresh air. Thank you ❤

Love your documentaries.

Going to check out Lana after watching this video! She’s so cute and funny and I really appreciated her openness in this interview, it was really nice to learn from the point of view of an OF creator.

thank you for talking about thissss i literally considered making my own youtube just to cover this topic and raise awareness, and it’s so important to talk about because so many people are ignorant to all of these issues. you’re awesome!

Thank you so much for making this video girl! I’m only 1/3 through but I really appreciate the info about the affiliate program! Feels like halfway between an MLM and human traffic recruiting... I can only imagine how many newly 18 year olds (or younger... UGH) are desperate for money right now and could easily fall into a trap doing OF that they might regret later.

the interview was SO awesome - I would love to see more interviews with people who interact in the spaces you analyze. adds such an awesome element.

Thanks for the video! She has a great personality and I love that she is so transparent about the only fans industry. It’s great she has creativity and kindness.

This was such a great interview. Lana is such a lovely person 💕

This was such a great video, I really liked the interview portion. Having a primary source of information is amazing for commentary. And I must say, Lana has really opened my eyes to the reality of sex work and how normal it really is. I will do my best to normalize it when it comes up in conversation with my friends.

Ok, I just started the vid but I have to say, you look absolutely gorg in this video!! This hair style/tone is fire!

It was really cool and interesting to hear from Lana!

I really enjoyed this interview and dive into this SW platform. This was really interesting!!

Phenomenally good interview!! Great content as per usual. Nice work!!! Keep it up with the fantastic content in 2021.

I'd love to see a part 2 with Lana down the track! That was such a great interview 🙌
