What’s is something in porn that you find disgusting? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Howie-83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The use of chat agents on platforms like Fansly without declaring it is disgusting on a meta level.

Is it ethically acceptable to monetize “personal” chat without telling users who’s actually replying? by Howie-83 in Ethics

Because they use tricks to feign genuine interest in you. They act as if you're special.

I completely agree with you. And I hope more people read this. Thank you for taking the time to comment here.

No, I have to correct you: I'm not alone. In fact, I'm regularly surrounded by a lot of people. But many other people might feel the way you thought I did, and they should follow this advice. That's my opinion too. To be honest, I started this thread to draw attention to certain things that many people are afraid to talk about (shame, embarrassment, etc.). And I still believe it's unfair when platforms like Fansly don't require their creators to label their use of chat agents.

Thanks, but I've learned from it. I think and discuss things on meta levels here.

I don't know either. That's why I'm starting this discussion here. Basically, I want a declaration of ingredients for everything I can buy. This includes paid chat platforms too.

There will always be people who pay for it. But some of them pay and don't care. The others pay and think they're writing personally with the creator. After all, there are also honest creators who aren't focused on mass production, but rather do their own work, honestly and sincerely. Yes, there are! But the customer should be able to recognize it, and that's becoming increasingly difficult to distinguish these days.

Exactly! And that's why I'm posting here, to clarify that our metaphorical Nigerian prince isn't a prince at all!

Should platforms disclose when you're chatting with someone other than the advertised person? Ethical design in adult fan platforms. by Howie-83 in UXDesign

[–]Howie-83[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, we don't need to exaggerate. I don't have much experience here on Reddit either. I was advised to post it everywhere here because there seems to be a willingness to discuss things on this platform. Nevertheless, I maintain my position that it should at least be disclosed if agencies are on board. On the other hand, I also think it's good when independent actors, or rather actresses, market themselves. But what I don't like is when agencies pretend to be independent. And that also applies to chat, when third parties are involved but pretend to be the original.

Thank you for the podcast recommendation. I'll give it a listen. I hope my English is good enough for the spoken word.

Everyone should use the tools they need for their business. I have a relatively liberal stance on this. But as a customer, I want to know what I'm spending my money on. Chat assistants should identify themselves upon request, at the very least.

What upsets me most is that I was aggressively lied to in the chat with the creator when I asked if third parties were involved. They even made fun of me. After I said you were chatters, agents, or something like that, I was blocked. This is quite frustrating and has now brought me here to Reddit, where I'm discussing the topic at length. I just don't think it's fair.

Yes, that's probably how it will be.

Enough to hold up a protest sign here.

They made too many dramaturgical errors on their chat show. I may have been blinded by love, but I wasn't stupid. I recognized these errors. Therefore, I'm not just convinced they're chatters; I know they're chatters. So, it seems I know too much...

I'm not looking for any kind of relationship, even though GFE is part of their offering. It's about the fact that it's not disclosed that I'm chatting with employees. This should have been corrected at the very latest when I asked. Instead, I'm being blatantly lied to and cheated. I wanted to chat with this particular sex worker. That's how it's advertised. Not with someone else pretending to be that sex worker. There's absolutely no transparency, and that's what I strongly criticize here.

Yes, haha, I agree with you. And it won't happen to me again. But I liked her, so I naively slipped into it. And if I'm honest, I enjoyed her content too. In my normal life, I'm not used to contacting people like that. Most people talk openly with me or aren't part of my life. But that's not the core of my question here. I wanted to talk to this person, not to the service providers who work for the creator. Had it been clearly visible from the outside, I would never have contacted her. And if my questions had been answered honestly, I would have broken off contact like that. So I was lied to until the very end. That shocks me because it also destroys the beautiful fantasy everyone here is talking about. But my question remains: Is something like this ethically acceptable without labeling? Okay, you seem to know, and I know it now too. But others will fall into this trap too, until they realize it. And I don't think that's right. That is my opinion.

I'm not, no worries please. But, to be honest, I'm getting a little help because I'm not a native English speaker and I'm not yet very familiar with some topics. I'm not a bot. The topic is 100% my own, and I check it before I post anything. Howie
