You know how ig people have an onlyfans…
What if musicians did that with their music sessions…
Im thinking instead of nude hotties…
It just be people in the process of making music…or showing off music.
Itd be like a myspace/youtube page that you would pay for to access…
So that you can watch people play with their synths, musical gear, and musical instruments.
That’s not dumb, but Patreon is pretty much that in a nutshell. If you make one.
I made one at one point, sunk a whole bunch of time into tutorials (many, many hours of content) and all sorts of goodies for subscribers and only the ‘free’ tier showed up. lol @ me
I have had a lot of luck doing similar things on itch.io, though. People will pay a few bucks for a video tutorial there, which is a lot better than just putting it on youtube for the trolls to ask stupid questions and get mad at you for not answering them about said stupid questions 
You could probably also combine NSFW dick swinging for both. I’m sure someone’s into it
A lot of people also have good luck with Gumroad, although I have no idea how to generate much of a following over there for some reason.
If you’ve got tutorials or even fun stuff to put up somewhere, I definitely recommend giving one of these a try. I can help with the dumb marketing and banners every site seems to want you to have
I have wondered on occasion how much non-porn related stuff there is on OnlyFans nowadays. Probably about 0.01% of the media that lives there…
I don’t think anybody has ever truthfully said (and meant) “I love OnlyFans for the great non-porn related content!” 
OnlyFans has stuff that isn’t porn?
All joking aside, my first gut instinct was to say that this already exists with things like Patreon, but I can kind of see where you’re coming from and what the appeal would be. Because yeah you can have monthly supporters on Patreon, you can have members only videos/streams on youtube. But your Patreon subscribers and your youtube subscribers can’t directly crossover, you have to upload/stream everything you do multiple places. And the net effect of that is you have a fragmented community now, where your Patreon subscribers don’t have the same conversations as your Youtube subscribers, so you put together a Discord because that’s free and then you have 3 communities to manage now.
So if you could have the tiered paid community features of Patreon, with the streaming/video capabilities of Youtube all in one place, I see the appeal. But seriously, paid youtube channel memberships aren’t a million miles from this, it’s just the people use Youtube as a video site and not a social media site, which it totally is.
Yeah, a channel where they have 10 million subscribers probably is never going to see and reply to your comment, even if you are a paid subscriber. On the flipside, a channel where it’s some guy’s hobby to upload like twice a year and never checks his comments isn’t going to have a great community either. BUT, there are small channels in like the 1k-20k subscriber range that don’t have large communities, do read and respond to every comment, and you get to know the people around them. That is where youtube thrives IMO, it’s just you are never going to hear about that stuff if you don’t go and dig for it.
OnlyNotes
I don’t know, I love it when I make some money from music but I enjoy it more when I see the look on people’s faces telling them it’s free.
And I suppose: patreon, gumroad, and as @White_Noise said OnlyFans, and even sites like PH have other content. (though the whole gist of PH is abusing sexploitation and so they don’t really like anything that’s not xxx.)
I guess, you could even do that physically by starting up a club and making people pay to enter.
Now I’m envisioning a live performance where the camera is just fixed on something like a Push / Maschine or a pad of some kind and the performer is using his junk to press the buttons and shit.
Thanks for that. lol
But maybe we can make some money for the label that way. Any volunteers? HAHAHA
FFS I’m joking, please for the love of god don’t do this.
Yeah put that usb cable into that midi output port…of your synth…
Hot stuff…thats like $300 worth of exclusive content on the market
I wonder what that would do to the resale value of said gear.
I’m enough of a sleazebag that I wouldn’t even mind being one of the few producers on OF (in a non-adult content fashion obviously), if there was some kind of weird niche area for non-adult stuff on there. I’m kind of curious as to whether I’m totally alone here or not.
It seems like people are driven away by the sleaze factor, but OF is likely a perfectly decent PPV service underneath. I’m still kind of thinking of signing up and seeing what their tiers are and what you can do with it, although it is a little weird to fork over ID and shit just to gamble with numbers.
Egg me on and I’ll do it
I did try Fiverr a little while back but the competition totally blew me out of the water. What people were offering for like $25 with excellent service and quick turnaround made me kind of question my abilities as a person in general. I know it’s technically not an OF / patreon derivative because it’s a little more ‘product’-focused instead of ‘content’, but it seems like there are some sites where the real professionals hang out and it’s a bit humbling. lol
Maybe if all of us who are into it start a weird club on OF, it could really take off. Imagine subverting the platform, even in a really small, controlled fashion. I think it would be hilarious
I don’t even think the “sleaze factor” is the issue. It’s more of a perception issue.
Would you go buy a frying pan in a shoe store if they sold them? So, between people who have no idea there can be OTHER things than porn on the platform and the ones that know but don’t see the point, OF is pretty much going to remain an adult site for a long time…
Let me save you some time & money
I don’t care much about what people think, so I can say that I did try OF during the pandemic. Seems like the only thing folks were talking about back then, so natural curiosity got the best of me. I subscribed (for free) to a couple porn stars I like to see what it was all about.
Turns out, while it’s a semi-decent way for the creator to protect their original content, it’s pretty lousy for users. Pretty much everything was under a paywall (“pay $10 to see this!, pay $20 to see that!”) and there are hardly any to no previews, so you would be paying randomly with no real idea what you’re going to get. After that, you can’t save the pics or videos (well, you can, using FireFox, but that’s not known by many folks); they are supposed to be viewed within the platform.
While some lesser known performers actually run their own stuff, most of the famous ones will keep sending you automated messages (“Hey babe, how are you today?”) to get you to simp/send money. I read somewhere that some even have teams doing that for them!
Since you had to have your own account on the platform, once I posted something along the lines of “Anybody interested in music content around here?”. As you can imagine, since I’m not a hot woman/porn actress, crickets were chirping. Some say they’re still chirping.
There you go - my experience.
Now, don’t get me wrong: you SHOULD support women who make their own content if you can. It’s a job and they’re just trying to survive, like the rest of us. The gold diggers are easy to spot & can be avoided.
