      It absolutely could be a simple scam, porn, or human trafficking. Maybe all three.

        Yeah, I’ve seen this sort of thing before: first they reel 'em in smooth like with door-to-door vacuum cleaner sales, get 'em hooked on only fans, then BAM, they’re selling their ass on Pico for $50 a pop.

          I would imagine it isn’t unrealistic, and possibly on the lower end, and that there are considerable risks? If they aren’t, they’re underpaid?

              Dunno, but they’re still making it, and considerable risks are involved, so I’d imagine those actors not trafficked are getting paid?

      The only way I see it as a possible human trafficking is that this is the method to find people in desperate situations with low street intelligence and very little support network. I don’t think human trafficking especially the way it is reported on news and social media etc isn’t as widespread as it seems or happens the way they warn.

      Scam is most likely, imo.
