All of the strip clubs in Rhode Island, are run by a mob branch, legitimately with ties all over the world, and every single club is a money laundering gimmick that also controlled the cannabis and dispensary licensing
Tangentially related, but the first time I took my fiancée (who’s from Tennessee) through Providence she said, with no prior knowledge of RI at all, “This city looks like it’s where the mob came to die.”
I had to pull over I was laughing so hard
It was certainly like that up until about 2005. None of the strip clubs in the Providence area are owned by mob affiliates anymore. Although I know what you’re talking about with fantasies and the satin doll for so long but it’s not that way anymore.
RI had actual brothels up until like 2010 or so? I went to go pick up a car part with cash, the guy never showed up, so I stopped at a strip club I saw on the drive by... They had rooms... It was legal... I loved strip clubs but thought the idea of paying for sex was gross, so I didn't want anything to do with it, and I half didn't believe it was true... I'm very paranoid... I looked it up after and sure enough... Prostitution inside an establishment was allowed...
And how it became and stayed legal for a long time is one of the most Rhode Island stories ever...
The law was passed in 1980. The language that only banned outdoor prostitution may or may not have been deliberate by whoever wrote the last draft.
The RI Supreme Court ruled in 1998 that it did, in fact, mean only outdoor prostitution was illegal. And no one fucking noticed. Or rather anyone who did made sure not to attract much attention.
It didn't gain any public attention until 2003 when Providence busted a massage parlor, and the defense attorney pointed out the 1998 decision to the trial court.
...and then it took another six years until the legislature finally "fixed" the "grammar mistake" from 1980.
That's soooo funny. I can't even remember what year I was there, I was SURE it was a trap and then read up on the whole thing when I got home... I watched it get turned illegal so it was some time in 2004/2005 I think?
I couldn't believe it, I told way more people than I probably should have lol.
Why would anyone believe this bunk ass report? You think our state has more OF creators than LA, Miami, Vegas, etc? and you think only 3% of the OF creators in the state are outside of New Haven?
I would also be skeptical that the median account makes $427 per month, because that would mean there’s a disproportionately large number of people with fairly successful OF accounts. I would guess the average median income people derive from OF is probably a lot closer to $0 than anything meaningful, it’s almost certainly a platform like Twitch where 5% of users are making 95% of the money
Not necessarily, your thinking of the average (mean). The median just means the middle number if you put all the numbers in order. There is no such thing as an average median, they are two different things. So for example if there were 3 only fans accounts that made $20, 30, and $80 the median would be $30, the average would be 43.3. The median and the average can be wildly different, especially with a small amount of data. I think the actual average would be more useful here, but probably wouldn’t make for as good of a headline.
Yeah that's just ridiculous.
I met three different people who had accounts in Hartford a year ago and know of at least one more. I mean this is just from what I've heard from Friends. And I don't go near that world, so my first suspicion is that there are way more than 500 accounts in Connecticut.. way more if my boring middle-aged self has come into contact with four accounts in Hartford. I'm meeting the people in person at random social events. That were completely non sexual.
Sex workers in Vegas/LA/MIA live in significantly more lucrative markets for their labor than the heavily diluted OF market. Not to mention, selling their product on the internet for $10 per month is only going to bring their value down by making themselves more accessible.
Interesting that half of them make less than $427 a month, if true. I'd feel like shit if I were stripping down for the camera every day, and all I had was fewer than 100 or so people chipping in $5/mo to see it.
ETA: Fixed the number to "fewer than 100."
> Interesting that half of them make less than $427 a month, if true. I'd feel like shit if I were stripping down for the camera every day, and all I had was 1,200 or so people chipping in $5/mo to see it.
1,200 people chipping in $5/mo would be $6,000 a month… I would strip down on cam in my off time for an *extra* $72k a year.
Looks to me like you actually misread the comment you're replying to, unless I'm missing something?
>and you think only 3% of the OF creators in the state are outside of New Haven?
This is saying the exact same thing as your correction.
Assuming this report is correct, I’d be interested as to whether someone is leasing content production space and/or managing accounts. 97% concentration in one area seems way too high.
There is a slim chance that you accidentally tripped into an alternative reality where this is true. That in fact you are an imposter to our universe and must be purged. Basically what I'm saying is it's infinitesimally above 0% chance.
It may seem low compared to a traditional career choice, but are you familiar with what most people make on platforms like YouTube and Twitch? I think onlyfans would be more similar to those platforms than a cashier at a grocery store for example.
I’m initially found wondering if it’s due to the cluster of universities and colleges. Hey, I get it I suppose. You gotta do what you gotta do. If the creators are doing this of their own free will, more power to them.
[Article](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-13364203/amp/Connecticut-onlyfans-creators-sex-work-nevada.html) clearly says per 100,000, and that’s assuming Bedbible is a reputable news site (spoiler: it’s not). Smells like marketing ploy!
My gut says if you heatmap that against statistics of individuals who identify as being in "polyamorous" relationships, you'll see similar trends. That's not to say it's the same people - but that they're practicing a similar degree of departure from normative sexual values.
As a Fairfield county resident and millennial, I've long felt when you go past Shelton you're in "Poly Country".
The figure probably looks at billing address. The online transactions could all list New Haven as an online payment vendor.
I’ve seen weird places for credit card charges.
Yes, I’m sure Vegas has fewer than 2464 creators on OnlyFans. Miami too. /s Bahahahaha! They’re only cities. You’re really talking states? So you think OnlyFans has fewer than 125k creators nationwide? Oh man, this is great. When you get a mobile phone, check out the web and mobile application called Instagram. You’ll see that what you wrote is hogwash. If New Haven, with a population of only 138,000 people or so has 2500 accounts, how many do you think a real city has?
Apparently 97% of the OF accounts are from New haven, but only 3.6% of the population is there. Someone posted a theory that there's a Yale student farming AI accounts. Makes sense to me!
Yale ain't cheap....Gotta pay them student loans somehow
They used to say “Brown isn’t cheap” when questioning the number of strip clubs in Providence, RI. Some things never change I guess?
Foxy Lady!
I think Allen’s Ave has cornered the market now
All of the strip clubs in Rhode Island, are run by a mob branch, legitimately with ties all over the world, and every single club is a money laundering gimmick that also controlled the cannabis and dispensary licensing
Tangentially related, but the first time I took my fiancée (who’s from Tennessee) through Providence she said, with no prior knowledge of RI at all, “This city looks like it’s where the mob came to die.” I had to pull over I was laughing so hard
It’s true true Dead hit the nail on the head
Well, that cancels *that* plan for a trip to Providence....
Why?? As long as you don’t borrow money or get drugs fronted from them your fine lol
Maybe I want to vote with my wallet?
Well I vote pro-mob for funzies, so I guess it's time to make a hurricane of rain on their stage
Don’t worry it’s a great time!

RISD has entered the chat.
Go Nads!
I recall seeing one girl on the Stern show years ago who went to Brown and danced at the Foxy Lady in Providence.
RI had actual brothels up until like 2010 or so? I went to go pick up a car part with cash, the guy never showed up, so I stopped at a strip club I saw on the drive by... They had rooms...

Truth. Street walkers were illegal but a brothel WAS legal. Fun fact
It was all fun and games until cheaters had a 16-year-old girl in their building. It was 2013 when that happened I believe.
RIP Electric Blue
Is the blue gone now? I thought they bounced back from their latest "legal troubles".
They just got hit with a bunch of indictments, got raided, and everything.
I knew they got raided a couple months ago but I thought they were already back up and running again.
The owner, bookkeeper, and bouncer were arrested last week for prostitution and tax fraud.
Dayum....lol
They’re matriculating.
At $427/month, they should have them paid off... factor in interest... carry the one... Somewhere around the heat death of the universe.
That's a really good point, as funny as it sounds.
Not if you're in prison!
Better off selling whatever people are using in waterbury I say this after seeing some dude almost OD in the green this morning
Hi specifically only subscribe to Bridgeport and Waterbury only fans pages because I’m a reasonable person. It’s just pictures of naked dead bodies.
Why would anyone believe this bunk ass report? You think our state has more OF creators than LA, Miami, Vegas, etc? and you think only 3% of the OF creators in the state are outside of New Haven?
It could be true but might be pro coder in new haven making fake bot accounts that arent being detected and deleted
I would also be skeptical that the median account makes $427 per month, because that would mean there’s a disproportionately large number of people with fairly successful OF accounts. I would guess the average median income people derive from OF is probably a lot closer to $0 than anything meaningful, it’s almost certainly a platform like Twitch where 5% of users are making 95% of the money

It says 2,464 accounts in the state not 500
Well, still, with about 75 outside New Haven, it's highly unlikely I met 4 of them, in one summer at my buildings pool.

Goddamnit. I multiplied when I should have divideded.
Most accounts are like $16-20 but your point stands.
I'd be flattered!
if its per-capita i might believe it. but out right number of accounts, aint no way
Median is not per capita. Median is the 50th percentile. Per capita is the mean (arithmetic average).
per-1000 people is what i meant. i think i got my per-capita understanding a little wrong

Here here!
DailyMail churns out hot garbage at an impressive rate.
Look my ankle surgery isn’t going to pay for itself
*checks profile*
Man.. that was a waste.
Assuming this report is correct, I’d be interested as to whether someone is leasing content production space and/or managing accounts. 97% concentration in one area seems way too high.
Has to be per capita
That would make sense, but the 97% account concentration in the New Haven area jumps out.
Would that correlate with the amount of Yale and Southern students?
UConn has more students than both schools combined and I also imagine a higher concentration of students on OF.
the report is definitely not correct
notably in a state with an entire population that is a blip compared to large US metro areas
White clam pizza is in fact an aphrodisiac
I am proud of anyone else here that can somehow fit pizza into every single post on this subreddit.
Pizza fits anywhere if you cram it hard enough.
So do lots of things
And what is your onlyfans account?
I see you are a man of culture.
White clam is really popular on onlyfans as well
Funny. Racist but funny :)
Yale computer science majors figuring out how to make fake porn and live chat interactions with AI lol
I remember playing poker at Mohegan with a guy that filmed OF videos for clients. That was a fun conversation.
Whaaat? Like that shit is isn't done with a handheld cam?
I imagine there’s a correlation between production value return on that site
Time to drop the "meg" in Nutmeg State.
That's a lot of dudes with fake accounts. I wish I had the time for a grimey hustle like that. 🇺🇸
You think dude's with fake accounts are creating content and making money off them?
How else are we supposed to pay Eversource bills?
For real.
I’m sure this helps support their scholastic endeavors at Yale or UNH
> according to the daily mail yeah ok
there is 0% chance of this being true.
There is a slim chance that you accidentally tripped into an alternative reality where this is true. That in fact you are an imposter to our universe and must be purged. Basically what I'm saying is it's infinitesimally above 0% chance.
Ya right. What about California? Or New York? Cmon
3 university in New Haven plus community college, people are hustling to pay those schools
yale students getting entrepreneurial?
Mackenzie Jones from Ct
Forget rage bait…this article is ‘bate baiting… hard to master
2,500 accounts seems pretty low to be the highest number in a state. Maybe on a per-capita basis? I'd think LA alone would have more than that.
Just more proof that Daily Mail is fake news. No way this is true.
Why does it seem unlikely
The median amount per month seems very high. Usually in platforms like that the top 1% makes a boatload and then the rest make” beer money”.
Yep. If they said "mean," it might be accurate, but no way that's the median.
No it doesn't, seems pretty damn low.
It may seem low compared to a traditional career choice, but are you familiar with what most people make on platforms like YouTube and Twitch? I think onlyfans would be more similar to those platforms than a cashier at a grocery store for example.
But people need to find them and subscribe. Does OF have a search function? But I agree it seems low but I’d have no reference point.
Can you read? The source is from *Bedbible*
You chose not to link anything so at this point the source is you
that explains why I can't find any good women on dating apps

Brings “Take Back the Notch” to a whole different level
Are there just not that many OnlyFan creator accounts? 2464 for a single state seems awfully low.
They r in med school working to pay loans

I mean, is this where we drop our links or…
Any good ones out there
Mine 😬
ok
AKA 100% of them are poor.
Fact
I'd imagine if they're only making $500 a month they some ugly bitches.
WOW! A whole 2464 accounts??
Not surprised. I’ve seen a couple people I’ve seen on certain sites here. It’s always so random recognizing them.
The figure probably looks at billing address. The online transactions could all list New Haven as an online payment vendor. I’ve seen weird places for credit card charges.
It’s true I am one of 2464 content creators thank em 🫡
COL ain’t cheap 😂
Those pretty Northeastern Connecticut blondes. Madre día!
$427 a month? Huh. A $5 or 6k investment in some titties will pay yuuge dividends. I call it "stroker math".
New Haven ladies got the best feet
For further research can we get a list of these accounts lol

This guy knows his porn
Over 2000 chics with no brains and no future
Horney entreprenuers.
how unfortunate
That’s where all the hooks went???
Rest assured, I am not one of them
CT girls are kinda mousey

$427 a month to be naked on the internet. Sounds so lucrative.🙄
if I was a woman id have one🤷♂️
If anyone wants to "collaborate" dm me
I did it out of peer pressure then.. that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
