Want to be clear that Amouranth specifically has been honest about this, but since she’s the only OF girl actually mentioned in the video (other than someone who might be dead!?!?!) it didn’t feel right to use anyone else in the thumbnail.
I'm kind of surprised that people are surprised about this. Just more efficient methods of milking the simps. Also if you are in Japan, the girls on the pictures likely aren't the people sweating into those worn underpants. ;)
On this subject what is you take on girls contracting to have AI of them made and the AI basically runs the Onlyfans? Susu.JPG is a creator on RUclips that has done this. She has an AI called Susu_Bot that creates AI generated photos OF HER and it also has AI generated voice, of her voice, so that subscribers can "call and talk to her". Genius business model but....what world are we living in?
I thought that was more widely known at this point. A few of those ladies straight up said last year that they had someone else responding to the messages the subscribers send. 😅
Yep well said 😂 it's the same with celebrity accounts that get managed by social media teams. But people still put themselves into that parasocial bubble. Meanwhile it's other people getting paid to chat/tweet etc or even worse just automated bots and AI scripts lmao
It also just makes sense, those big creators probably get hundreds if not thousands of messages an hour. It's pretty much impossible to respond to them all and live an actual life.

I've seen news stories talking about how loneliness is a very serious thing affecting a majority of people. The fact that people fall for these scams shows how desperate some people are for a positive human interaction.
People are also just really susceptible to that kind of stimuli and attention. Even people who aren't lonely can fall victim to being made to feel special. Even happy people can kind of be tricked by the way their brain reacts to being singled out and engaged with, thinking that they need more of that, even though before they started to receive that attention they were perfectly happy. We start to feel loss for something we never even wanted or needed once it goes away, because we kind of judge by the peaks and valleys of our stimuli, instead of the norm, even if that norm trends high on happiness. It's pretty messed up, and it's caused so many happy people who think they are safe to fall into addiction and for dreadful scams. It is a con strategy as old as people, and really this is just another form of it. It's a flaw in how we work.
@@fifilamour1344 the more we just throw about social justice buzzwords like children, the longer it's going to take us to actually resolve this societal issue. It is absolutely loneliness that drives men to send money to women they've never met to share a pseudo-intimate moment with them. And not just sexual/romantic loneliness. I'll bet you anything most of the men with a healthy active social group aren't doing it either. I can personally say the period of my life where I was subbing to OF and thinking nothing of it was the loneliest point of my life. (Not my autocorrect trying to change that to 'loveliest' without me noticing >.>) Misogyny absolutely plays a role in why it's got so widespread and why some care significantly less about the implications than others. But the two are not mutually exclusive and while misogyny feeds the attitude, loneliness feeds the market directly.

@@greenelf12don’t you think it’s weird that these “models” always seem to be available to chat 24/7? I guess they never sleep and survive off a diet of cigarettes and amphetamines. If you chat with one for long enough you start to recognize when there’s been a shift change because the “model” just forgets what you were chatting about 10 seconds ago and if you mention it they say they have no idea what you are talking about. They don’t seem to have access to scroll back in the chat history before their shift began.
And now they are exposed to that service and if that site gets hacked your future insurance company could know what illness you might have. (they do buy those infos to save money). Great job scamming. It does not ruin your existence but the exposing DMs part might be too much.
"As you can see, loads of dudes who didn't fit the description applied, because...why wouldn't they..." Hey who among us has fit ALL the qualifications for a job they applied for 😂
The "Typer" model has been used by Russian/Ukrainian dating/bride sites for decades. You pay to talk to Sergey, the "Translator". There are lots of youtube videos describing the scam, Agent Nesty for example.
Girls, are paying management and assistance. Meaning most often then not you are speaking to a man or an another girl who is the person’s assistant! Or they have talent agencies or they are signed to a talent agency that does the messaging for them.
Russians and Ukrainians had this scam where you would talk to some Russian\Ukrainian girl, she will usually befriend you playing games or some forum, etc. She would talk to you on regular basis, be friendly and finally she will ask you to met her up in Russia. As soon as you show up, Igor and Boris will show up to rob your hotel room.
This is also a very sad subject. because there are some people who are truly lonely and think they have a potential relationship. When in reality that is far from the truth and is only making their situation worse.
To be fair to OF it doesn't offer potential relationships, that's clear from the start. It's like interpersonal porn I guess? But the fact it's for the money is pretty clear. That be fine if it was more honest.
I'm relation to the technical issues of the Willy Wonka one... well technically there were issues. The "organiser" and I use that term loosely is something of a con man anyway as he previously cancelled a Santa's grotto after loads of toys were donated and used AI to not only develop his website hence all the spelling mistakes and errors but also used chat gpt to generate books and sell them to try and make a quick profit. No doubt he would never have refunded these people if it hadn't went viral worldwide.
The Internet Today enactment of the Willy's Chocolate Experience script was sheer amazing, including the "Final Battle" between Willy... and... the UNKNOWN
I recently listened to a local (non-English) podcast featuring a comedian who had several jobs impersonating people. One of them involved managing three OF accounts, pretending to be the girls, and interacting with the clients, including rating their "intimate" pictures. The Andrew Tate model seems to be far more universal than I originally thought.
D**k rates are a thing and you tend to get a video of the girl doing it, it could very easily be the same one sent to everyone though? Specific details making it personal always seem to be lacking.
Less than ten years ago I had a friend who got into modeling as a side hustle and became "instafamous". He eventually got tired of the culture and just stopped posting causing his "fans" some distress. After a while his troll of a little brother posted that the reason my friend was no longer active was because he had died. It turned into a whole thing and their relatives ended up contacting his mom because they thought it was real. It was pretty funny.
I saw another video where they chatted with the actors - they all seemed nice but it was clear they were unwittingly part of a scam - the Unknown is a sixteen-year-old lady named Felicia. 😂
@@twelvecatsinatrenchcoat Nah definitely down bad. Doesn't matter the various reasons as to why they are down bad but definitely down bad. Coz I don't even say it to shame anyone. People will interpret that as a dig at them, but I just say it as an observation that it's just personally astonishing to me as just me. Coz at the end of the day bruh if there's money to be made and willing customers then all good. So people are free to do what they want. That just won't stop me from being confused about it is all coz even if someone is looking for just s*x you can go spend that money on a hooker rather than wasting money online for virtual n*des and chatting to bots. Likewise if you are searching for intimacy I'm sure there's probably services somewhere out there for that. Even if you're someone lacking in confidence and self esteem like bruh there is someone for everybody out there in the world if you simply go outside and out yourself out there. But people opt for these virtual parasocial companionships where they often get scammed.
I'm not surprised by the one about people impersonating influencers, and in fact I've very likely come across job postings for them before! Yes, it assuredly is a scam once they start declaring that they are the actual person, but the problem is that it stems off of a real job and people are probably too embarrassed to sue when they realize what's going on. The real job is just being a social media manager, which is what the job postings are billed as, but the details will kind of give it away or at least cue you in that it's a bit shady. Being a social media manager is perfectly okay, a well-established job, and even involves impersonating a person, character, or brand. Because of this, they can claim that there's no difference between that and what they were doing, so to battle someone in court over it would be extremely costly and might catch the public eye.
Great video! I'm American, and will say that is NOT my accent lol. It depends on the region of the country, but I know you were joking. The Onlyfans chat is no surprise. A long time ago, when chatrooms first came into being, I remember being told, "You can't see the person, if they are saying they are this sexy model, assume they are lying." The whole idea you are talking to someone who is pretending to be someone else and lying to you is so eerie. I personally don't see the appeal in it. 14:29 "She wants me to put what where?" Made me laugh
I’ve only EVER heard Americans pronounce it incorrectly. Especially when the news story was current - Americans saying it incorrectly all over tiktok became a huge thing.
@@floodlitworld I've never heard an American say Leicester wrong either. Glasgow and Leicester usually don't come up in conversations. But, let's have an Englishman order us some tacos for dinner.
I learned not to trust the person I speak on the other side of a screen not be who they say they are, my first week on the internet, back in 1997. The most shocking thing in all of this is that people thought this is real.
Great video, thank you Alanah 👍🏻 I may just have ordered one of your Youtooz figurines, it's a great addition to my my nerdy Patreon and RUclips book case Thank you for all your informative videos over the years
That only fans thing is exactly the same thing that those mail order bride sites have used for decades, I remember watching a video on it ages ago, they hire models for the pictures, and other people for the actual communication.
Time is a flat circle. I remember when interacting with any woman character online in an mmorpg the rule was that it was always a dude you were talking to.
The Overton window is wide open on Instagram, usually leading to OF. I just saw a guy posting a photo on reddit asking if a photo was AI. I had to ask him how much money he sent "her". He basically said all of his money. *facepalm*
I hadn’t seen the Wonka thing but it doesn’t surprise me, the UK has previous for this. A while back we had a winter wonderland Christmas experience where some of the elves were drunk, fighting amongst themselves and hurling abuse at visitors. And people think the UK is “classy” 😄🙄
I've never been on any of these sites but have always assumed that no matter what, you are never going to be talking to someone who is selling 1on1 access to them through some kind of DM arrangement. It's also the least surprising thing that many dudes are willing to fork over fistfuls of cash to anyone showing a half a nipple on the internet. What's really for sale here is the stroking of a mans ego.
Both are at fault but seriously, men... just save your money and hire an escort. You'll actually get what you're paying for and probably at a cheaper price, frankly, considering what some of these OF models charge for their videos.
@thoroughlyrustled6186 Someone doesn't understand supply and demand.. You think more and more girls would keep doing OFs if nobody was paying for them?
There's probably a single line in OF's TOS (which is probably 30 pages long) saying that this might happen so therefore hey, now it's okay, you totally agreed to it!

Never heard an American pronounce Glasgow that way. I was born and raised in Kentucky and there is a city here named Glasgow so I’ve always heard it pronounced the right way.
@@charalanahzardTheres a small town in Georgia named Cairo, but its not pronounced the same way as the one in Egypt, and if you say it that way, you WILL be corrected lol. Americans are weird. Just look at Kansas and Arkansas.
The agency thing I think may be a lawsuit but if it wins a civil court case idk, I think the advertising of the users account saying it’s them but then isn’t them because the user is on 24/7 might be winnable, I have friends in the industry and they know people as well so it’s definitely a mess at this point
I'm waiting for the inevitable story to break about one of these fake accounts having 90% of its subscribers also be fake/bots so it is just people using AI to get fake engagement from AI bot users in a neverending AI circle jerk spiral😆
Have to disagree, have a few years on you and that's the only way I have ever heard anyone here in the US pronounce it. Not quite as drawn out and twangy as that, but definitely "gow" as in "cow."
When OF started, I never, for one second, thought any of these girls would be the ones messaging people. I'm not really sure how so many people get tricked. It's pretty sad tbh.
Another wild thing to me from the Willy Wonka craziness is how the actress playing an Oompa Loompa (with the viral picture where she looks done with everything) made a video saying that she's a pretty private person, so didn't quite want the whole thing to blow up as much as it did (but still found it kinda funny), but now also she's got like a Cameo and stuff. That's totally great for her, assuming she decided "Actually, I'm totally cool with this" and wants to do it, but it feels like it happens to a lot of people now lol Like a random, private person just happens to say something funny on the news or whatever, somebody finds them online, and now the entire internet is looking at them and wanting more from them.
Or, instead of overreacting melodramatically, you can just have an adult conversation with your friend about the topic so that they better understand your expectations and boundaries within the friendship.
@charalanahzard I should be clear, in this hypothetical I meant among mutual friends. However, were I a known personality like yourself, I'm not sure what my reaction would be.

@omarguillenrules that's the only catch with guys lol. As long as you tell the truth they will do what they are gonna do lol. Wish I knew how to build an AI chat bot. I'd make all sorts of apps for lonely dudes to talk to lol.
this rabbit hole is very deep and very dark, the o.f thing, i gotta partially blame everything being online, include dating, back in 2010 nobody remembers yahoo chat or even talking to people on fb, it was much easier and within them few conversations youdd decide if u like the person or not, then meeting face to face and etc, but now the unrealistic and unhealthy standards of extreme explicit stuff online, brainwashing everyone to force them so ppl cant live without technology, will be the downfall of this world, i wish dating was the only thing left out and not ruined by technology, but those days are gone, now is the era of awkwardness, where a guy has no basic communication skills just to speak to a girl, and vice versa etc, bye yall !!!
Except for the Willy Wonka stuff, I wouldn't really call these "scams", it just repackaged versions of things people have been doing for centuries. OF is just the new adult phone hotline.
right like it's new or something lol. They were not talking to the hot chick that showed up on the tv telling you about her 1800 number. We all knew it was auntie ethel on the line and she probably had a pack of marlboro's right there.
for the first time in my life i was invited to an only fans page.... which was odd. but then the person kept pressing the issue... and idk about anyone else, but if you flat out tell someone 'Hey, of isn't my jam, I'm not interested in subscribing..." why ask again, and.... again? well I did some research which led me here.

If not, then your AI is *super sus* and you probably ought to send it to go live on a farm upstate with HAL 9000 before it tries to space you. 😮
The mistake the Willy Wonka scammer made was actually trying to make the thing legit instead of just taking people's money and running without any show whatsoever.
I received a ton of scammers by female OnlyFans and Adult Performers who would small talk me into trying to get me to send them money via some sort of pre-paid card that could only be bought at US stores, even though I told them I was from Canada. It's probably the same service who is scamming others. I would in the end try to video chat with them, but only heard a male voice.
by the way this is by all definitions a crime. they are actually just saying committing a crime is industry standard. why are not authorities involved in this?
Want to be clear that Amouranth specifically has been honest about this, but since she’s the only OF girl actually mentioned in the video (other than someone who might be dead!?!?!) it didn’t feel right to use anyone else in the thumbnail.

@@twelvecatsinatrenchcoat Nah definitely down bad.
Doesn't matter the various reasons as to why they are down bad but definitely down bad.
Coz I don't even say it to shame anyone. People will interpret that as a dig at them, but I just say it as an observation that it's just personally astonishing to me as just me.
Coz at the end of the day bruh if there's money to be made and willing customers then all good. So people are free to do what they want. That just won't stop me from being confused about it is all coz even if someone is looking for just s*x you can go spend that money on a hooker rather than wasting money online for virtual n*des and chatting to bots. Likewise if you are searching for intimacy I'm sure there's probably services somewhere out there for that. Even if you're someone lacking in confidence and self esteem like bruh there is someone for everybody out there in the world if you simply go outside and out yourself out there. But people opt for these virtual parasocial companionships where they often get scammed.
I'm not surprised by the one about people impersonating influencers, and in fact I've very likely come across job postings for them before! Yes, it assuredly is a scam once they start declaring that they are the actual person, but the problem is that it stems off of a real job and people are probably too embarrassed to sue when they realize what's going on. The real job is just being a social media manager, which is what the job postings are billed as, but the details will kind of give it away or at least cue you in that it's a bit shady. Being a social media manager is perfectly okay, a well-established job, and even involves impersonating a person, character, or brand. Because of this, they can claim that there's no difference between that and what they were doing, so to battle someone in court over it would be extremely costly and might catch the public eye.
Pretty much but they agencies and talent managements that do this. They get a cut from it.
Great video! I'm American, and will say that is NOT my accent lol. It depends on the region of the country, but I know you were joking. The Onlyfans chat is no surprise. A long time ago, when chatrooms first came into being, I remember being told, "You can't see the person, if they are saying they are this sexy model, assume they are lying."
The whole idea you are talking to someone who is pretending to be someone else and lying to you is so eerie. I personally don't see the appeal in it.
14:29 "She wants me to put what where?" Made me laugh
As an American, I've never heard someone pronounce it as Glas Gow Scottland. I am not surprised though that people do.
Wait till you hear an American try to pronounce Leicester.
I’ve only EVER heard Americans pronounce it incorrectly. Especially when the news story was current - Americans saying it incorrectly all over tiktok became a huge thing.
@@floodlitworld I've never heard an American say Leicester wrong either. Glasgow and Leicester usually don't come up in conversations. But, let's have an Englishman order us some tacos for dinner.
Wait until you hear how they say Moscow
The thumbnail certainly threw me off. Saw Amoranth in my subscription feed and thought, "Wait what?! I'm not subscribed to her!?" Lol
I learned not to trust the person I speak on the other side of a screen not be who they say they are, my first week on the internet, back in 1997. The most shocking thing in all of this is that people thought this is real.
Great video, thank you Alanah 👍🏻
I may just have ordered one of your Youtooz figurines, it's a great addition to my my nerdy Patreon and RUclips book case
Thank you for all your informative videos over the years
"We don't serve Scottish accents here. Is Irish ok?"
That only fans thing is exactly the same thing that those mail order bride sites have used for decades, I remember watching a video on it ages ago, they hire models for the pictures, and other people for the actual communication.
That's so weird that a person who calls themselves a friend tried to get you on to their boat and tried pretty hard.
That was honestly the scariest part of this whole video for me.
A wise man once said , A fool and his money are soon parted, and that has never been truer than thinking social media sites are on the level .
I don't know why, but the "No Alanah, that's a Netflix show" line made me crack up.
Time is a flat circle. I remember when interacting with any woman character online in an mmorpg the rule was that it was always a dude you were talking to.
@10:33 According to a police statment she was missing since end of august 2023 and found deceased jan 24th 2024 and identified as Ines on feb 16th.
oh my god the irish accent is unintentionally a perfect becky lynch impression LOL
Okay. I didn't see the DNA test referral aspect of that scam! That is legitimately impressive! 😂
The Overton window is wide open on Instagram, usually leading to OF. I just saw a guy posting a photo on reddit asking if a photo was AI. I had to ask him how much money he sent "her". He basically said all of his money. *facepalm*
I hadn’t seen the Wonka thing but it doesn’t surprise me, the UK has previous for this. A while back we had a winter wonderland Christmas experience where some of the elves were drunk, fighting amongst themselves and hurling abuse at visitors. And people think the UK is “classy” 😄🙄
I've never been on any of these sites but have always assumed that no matter what, you are never going to be talking to someone who is selling 1on1 access to them through some kind of DM arrangement. It's also the least surprising thing that many dudes are willing to fork over fistfuls of cash to anyone showing a half a nipple on the internet. What's really for sale here is the stroking of a mans ego.
In regards to Onlyfans, this is why dudes need to start thinking with their brain. The amount of money being wasted is baffling.
Blame the addict not the dealer. A fine suggestion
@@thoroughlyrustled6186 I blame both
Both are at fault but seriously, men... just save your money and hire an escort. You'll actually get what you're paying for and probably at a cheaper price, frankly, considering what some of these OF models charge for their videos.
@thoroughlyrustled6186 Someone doesn't understand supply and demand.. You think more and more girls would keep doing OFs if nobody was paying for them?
It is called Fraud... The fans are paying to chat with a certain person but they end up chatting with someone else. Plain fraud.
There's probably a single line in OF's TOS (which is probably 30 pages long) saying that this might happen so therefore hey, now it's okay, you totally agreed to it!
Any thoughts on sweet baby inc ? Just curious why you haven’t talked about this at all?
There’s plenty of shit I don’t make videos about
@@charalanahzard I was just wondering because it was dominating the news right now
@@charalanahzard this is turning into gamergate 🤣 , I understand why you don’t want to cover it working for Sony and being involved with Spider-Man 2, I was just seeing if you were gonna address it 🙏
I had this RUclips channel when gamergate existed and never once made a video about it, btw! Also I didn’t work on spider-man 2 lol.
@@charalanahzard I’m sorry , for some reason I thought you worked on it, my bad 😞, I’m 55 and have been a hardcore gamer my whole life, I’ve been watching you since you were at IGN, I didn’t mean any disrespect, I guess I’m just sick of companies having an agenda behind things, why not let games just be games ? Back in the day games would be judged by replay ability , gameplay , and graphics. Besides my wife my male best friend from high school is gay and he agrees with me, we still play on Xbox live almost every night even though we don’t live in the same state anymore. Gaming brings people together 🙏, thank you for responding to this old ranting man A lot of creators wouldn’t , back to RE4R, I’m trying to get s tier on everything , be blessed 🙏
The not-so-subtle Nahtsee Bait in the Twitter "insemination scam" is pretty funny. They know their marks.
And now many of them have their DNA on record should they opt to commit crimes against humanity. Double win.
Was not expecting a cameo from Emily Rudd in this video lmao 8:47
Never heard an American pronounce Glasgow that way. I was born and raised in Kentucky and there is a city here named Glasgow so I’ve always heard it pronounced the right way.
I’ve never once heard an American pronounce it correctly lmao
@@charalanahzardTheres a small town in Georgia named Cairo, but its not pronounced the same way as the one in Egypt, and if you say it that way, you WILL be corrected lol.
Americans are weird. Just look at Kansas and Arkansas.
I still believe amouranth faked that whole abusive husband thing.
Yeah, these OF typers seems like fraud to me. Not sure how thats legal.
The agency thing I think may be a lawsuit but if it wins a civil court case idk, I think the advertising of the users account saying it’s them but then isn’t them because the user is on 24/7 might be winnable, I have friends in the industry and they know people as well so it’s definitely a mess at this point
@@nikolastiscareno4963 Yeah the whole thing is crazy. We certainly are living in uh..."interesting times".
Because OF is basically the wild west at the moment and has no real regulation on it at all aside from having to make sure the people on it are 18.
Alanah Pearce, accent aficionado and Internet Nancy Drew. Thank you!
I'm waiting for the inevitable story to break about one of these fake accounts having 90% of its subscribers also be fake/bots so it is just people using AI to get fake engagement from AI bot users in a neverending AI circle jerk spiral😆
LOL you are hilarious. Thank you for all the laughs. Really happy I found your channel.
I think we need more Irish Alanah 😂
We really don't.
Awesome research. Good podcast
Is it a scam? - Yes.
Is it unethical? - Yes.
Is it brilliant? - ABSOLUTELY YES 🤣
Remember when the internet was the video of the cat jumping over the gate and falling over? I miss old internet.
Remember before social media you actually had to go and talk to a human being in person?
10:55 She's a fuckin' owl! LOL
Turns out what men really need isn't the love of a woman... it's the love of a man! Because who knows how to talk to us better than our best bro! rofl

We've entered into the beginnings of the cross over of Cyberpunk and Borderlands. We have multiple people slowly becoming extra Handsome Jacks.
I'm 36 and I've been here since birth, Madam. No one here sounds like that. "Glass-gow!?" (rhymes with cow) Nah, swing and a miss.
How do we know you're not a RUclips Typer impersonating someone who's been there for 36 years? Smh.
Have to disagree, have a few years on you and that's the only way I have ever heard anyone here in the US pronounce it. Not quite as drawn out and twangy as that, but definitely "gow" as in "cow."
Most Americans say Glass Cow unless they're corrected.
@@NJerseyBoy I'm from the South and I've never heard anyone pronounce it that way.
@@jeffreysherman8224 How do they pronounce it? (I've only ever heard Southerners pronounce it that way as well)
"My ancestors came from Europe? I thought I was American!" lol
When OF started, I never, for one second, thought any of these girls would be the ones messaging people. I'm not really sure how so many people get tricked. It's pretty sad tbh.
Haha! You can text with men pretending to be a woman that you like on dating apps for free! 😅
No Irish person sounds like that 😂😂😂
I've heard older people from Ireland who have that accent
Another wild thing to me from the Willy Wonka craziness is how the actress playing an Oompa Loompa (with the viral picture where she looks done with everything) made a video saying that she's a pretty private person, so didn't quite want the whole thing to blow up as much as it did (but still found it kinda funny), but now also she's got like a Cameo and stuff. That's totally great for her, assuming she decided "Actually, I'm totally cool with this" and wants to do it, but it feels like it happens to a lot of people now lol Like a random, private person just happens to say something funny on the news or whatever, somebody finds them online, and now the entire internet is looking at them and wanting more from them.
I would drop, ghost, name, and shame any "friend" that tried that with me. You do you, but that's a point of no return conversation right there.
Or, instead of overreacting melodramatically, you can just have an adult conversation with your friend about the topic so that they better understand your expectations and boundaries within the friendship.
@Trepanation21 lol, the boundaries are you try to say that to me and we're done. Kinda obvious in the first comment.
I definitely don’t think it’s cause to cancel someone, but I will say I have downgraded our friendship haha.
@charalanahzard I should be clear, in this hypothetical I meant among mutual friends. However, were I a known personality like yourself, I'm not sure what my reaction would be.
Don't be scammed. Support your local strip club!!
Yup or your local asian masuse.
Scottish being just Irish but more angry is both offensive yet correct at the same time 😂
Dating apps are over run with scammers. Surprised I haven't seen more people talk about that.
23 And Me also just got hacked, so that's great.
OH NO! Now everyone will know that all of our ancestors are from Europe!!
@@NickHunterfor americans might be more harmfull than that, supposedly the idea is that companies buy 23andme information on people so that they can avoid or increase health insurance prices depending on the zone or family, might me a simplification, some part of what i said might be worded in the wrong way, but that is the idea and why some people never did and dont intend do to 23andme or their families do to that test, corporation having family health information could, you know, be bad for you or your future son or daughter because their parent decided to give sensitive information to a corporation that sells to other corporations. (a youtuber with this view is linus tech tips)
Ini Helen is real however she is very photoshopped yes. And I also believe someone has taken over her account tbh and it’s not actually her but she is a person
Hey, there is a market for everything lmao!! I'm all for people talking with AI as long as people know it's an AI. I don't mind people sexting with an AI. Anybody get upset about it they can just NOT do it lol. As far as OF models pretending to talk to fans who pay, totally against that. 100%.
Yes. There's literally a huge market for AI chatbots. Guys don't care if they're talking to a robot. They DO care if they're being lied to.
@omarguillenrules that's the only catch with guys lol. As long as you tell the truth they will do what they are gonna do lol. Wish I knew how to build an AI chat bot. I'd make all sorts of apps for lonely dudes to talk to lol.
this rabbit hole is very deep and very dark, the o.f thing, i gotta partially blame everything being online, include dating,
back in 2010 nobody remembers yahoo chat or even talking to people on fb, it was much easier and within them few conversations youdd decide if u like the person or not, then meeting face to face and etc, but now the unrealistic and unhealthy standards of extreme explicit stuff online, brainwashing everyone to force them so ppl cant live without technology, will be the downfall of this world,
i wish dating was the only thing left out and not ruined by technology, but those days are gone,
now is the era of awkwardness, where a guy has no basic communication skills just to speak to a girl, and vice versa etc,
bye yall !!!
"she replys to my dm's every time" HAHAHAHAHA RETAAAAAAAARD
You know, how did we get to the point where just replying nonsense is considered so much of a step up that people pay real money for it?
Except for the Willy Wonka stuff, I wouldn't really call these "scams", it just repackaged versions of things people have been doing for centuries. OF is just the new adult phone hotline.
right like it's new or something lol. They were not talking to the hot chick that showed up on the tv telling you about her 1800 number. We all knew it was auntie ethel on the line and she probably had a pack of marlboro's right there.
for the first time in my life i was invited to an only fans page.... which was odd. but then the person kept pressing the issue... and idk about anyone else, but if you flat out tell someone 'Hey, of isn't my jam, I'm not interested in subscribing..." why ask again, and.... again? well I did some research which led me here. Thank you for helping me not waste my money!
I don't think I've ever heard an American say Glasgow like that.
I've heard several of them pronounce it that way. Coffeezilla somehow managed to pronounce it "Glass Cow"... but he released an apology video shortly afterwards, so it's all ok
@@largepurplemonkey he released an apology video for mispronouncing a word? Soft
@@roundearthshill248 I mean it was a joke, all done in good fun to poke fun at his own error, but you know, insults are fun to chuck around I guess 🤷♂️
Oh, there are definitely some hard AI filters, completely fake girls, and no girl is up 24/7 replying to messages. I just treat them like AI chatbots and see how far I can go before they start ignoring me. It takes A LOT.
On the 23andMe scam, the estimate was like 70,000. That's not bad. I think 23andMe still made money and so did the scammer.
The announcement of the death of a celebrity who never have really existed because they were really an AI... We are truly living inside of a William Gibson novel at this point.

Alanah always trying to make the world a better place. LOVE IT! :)
Like... surely that must be fraud? That legal case would be absolute hilarity though because she defrauded people by pretending to be a pimp and laundering the money through a referral link, so every plaintiff would have to take the fifth on the stand. I would 100% watch this episode of Boston Legal
2:15 Your American accent is the same as me trying a British accent
0:43 Wait, why do you have an AI that rando blurs your own merch? I was wondering why the box kept appearing blurry at intervals. Can you unblur this in post? If not, then your AI is *super sus* and you probably ought to send it to go live on a farm upstate with HAL 9000 before it tries to space you. 😮
It just focuses on blurring anything it doesn’t view as human. Can’t change it in post.
The mistake the Willy Wonka scammer made was actually trying to make the thing legit instead of just taking people's money and running without any show whatsoever.
I think he was a bit of a narcissist, they tend to overestimate their abilities.
Reminds me of how a celebrity’s assistant would sign and send out photos to fans. The funny part is it doesn’t really hurt the value as a collectible.
I lost it when you made that Stranger Things joke. Great vid!
Best moment of the video is 2:20, taking a drink out of a cold bottle of Mexican Coke.
I received a ton of scammers by female OnlyFans and Adult Performers who would small talk me into trying to get me to send them money via some sort of pre-paid card that could only be bought at US stores, even though I told them I was from Canada. It's probably the same service who is scamming others. I would in the end try to video chat with them, but only heard a male voice.
Thought she was stopping herself and still went ahead with the Irish lol
by the way this is by all definitions a crime. they are actually just saying committing a crime is industry standard. why are not authorities involved in this?
The OF typers thing reminds me of phone numbers that kids could call in the early 90s and leave a message for Santa about what they wanted for Xmas
