Unfortunately the case probably, there's more financial incentive to be an onlyfans camgirl than work in a place like Hooters but in terms of relationship status, you're MORE likely to be in a stable relationship if all you did was work at Hooters than be on Onlyfans.
But many women can't see the long term impact of short term gains so expect a lot more frustrated women as a result.
Also the reason why they vote left.
Just the reason they shouldn't vote honestly. If you can't project long term consequences of a decision then you have no business influencing said decision.
More importantly, they aren't expected to shoulder the consequences of their decisions. It is men who will be expected to deal with the downstream disasters of their decisions.
Dont mind me just signal boosting
"WHY?"
People keep saying "this is inevitable" but how is their competitor Twin Peaks doing? I didn't watch the video if he covered this but if twin peaks is doing fine then it proves Hooters specifically screwed up somewhere.. like hiring fatties and trannies.
Twin Peaks’ food is legitimately good and the beer is so cold it has ice crystals floating in it. I would go there if the waitresses were dressed as grandmothers.
Only Grans.
I disagree... while Twin Peaks' food is marginally better than Hooters ever was, it's not "good".
It’s one grade higher of Sysco Slop from what Hooters has. It is definitely not “good.”
that's too cold
Last I checked Twin Peaks was doing ok, but a bunch of other bikini bar restaurants had gone under as well. Most of these restaurants are situated in the south and mid west though so I don't really interact with them. The Pacific Northwest has a lot of bikini baristas though, and they are all sketchy as hell.
The bikini/nude barista thing is odd. Doesn't sound like it should be real
Americans really will eat anything....
Rofl, is this true, though?
Most OF THOTs make shit for money though. A couple of years ago, the average earnings were something like $100 a month. I bet it has more to do with everyone being fat and anti-social.
$108 a month according to the latest data I saw. Bear in mind that that number is skewed toward the highly successful ones. It's a logarithmic chart, the top percentile of women make virtually all the money. Most women make very little to none.
It would also likely be skewed to the bottom, too. Two peaks at either extreme, even.
I bet if you checked statistics on how much muscle people gained/weight people lost from exercise, it would look pretty abysmal, if you didn't filter out all the people who only exercised for a week then gave up. So I checked, and got this:
What's the average number of videos released per month? I bet it's low. For this data to be a meaningful comparison to hooters, which actually requires people to show up or get fired, it would have to do something like divide by number of videos released or otherwise control for women who didn't actually try. I bet the return per hour worked is better for onlyfans even at the lower end.
Edit: Thinking about it further, this is all nonsense. You can't take the average number of subscribers and multiply it by the average subscription fee, because there's no guarantee they're equally distributed. Maybe the popular women charge more and the average sub is higher. Maybe the cheaper women attract more subscribers and the average sub is lower.
Agreed. I have the sneaking suspicion OF is some sort of money laundering operation. The vast majority of thots on it don't make any money. I have heard a lot of women joke about how they should go on OF to make money to chastise the men in their life, so at this point OF might also be kept alive as yet another humiliation ritual for men.
And because women want the attention. Even if one makes $10 a month, the emotional payoff of even five followers hanging on to their every word and move is worth it to them.
I was a regular viewer on a Twitch stream where the male host played Jackbox games and let some viewers talk on the stream through their Discord setup. Over the course of a year, female viewers began showing up on the stream to talk. And they. Would. Not. Shut. Up. I just don't want to hear about why their job sucks for the 458th time when I'm trying to relax and have fun.
The women on OF buy into the hype that idiots like Asmongold, intentionally or not, sell that they can become millionaires just dangling their asses in front of a camera. If anything, I suspect it's humbling and humiliating when they barely pull any money or viewers.
A search of Hooters + transsexuals did turn up a couple of hits where the trenders were either working there or were sueing over not getting hired.
They just have to be everywhere, don't they.
Lol
I heard once that some foot fetish site made its money from the conveyor belt of women paying to participate and register thinking they’ll strike it rich with no risk as opposed to actual viewers paying for subs or whatever. Does OF have an upfront cost for “creators”?
Ah, there we go. The pyramid scheme. That would make sense.
100%. 26 million on messages? No fucking way. If it was just content I'd get it, but they're suggesting that all the money comes from personal interactions.
WTF even has that time? Even if you have a full on team around you you'd have to be slinging out messages all day.
Until I get a hidden camera "behind the scenes" expose on this, I have no idea how these whores are doing it and I doubt their explanations for it.
Bots, or team of people is some things some of them have admitted. It is a old game, Tate is supposed used in order to gain his fortune.
But it is the money maker, people loneliness is an all time high.
Probably just a matter of time. Negative reputation (despite the alleged quality of their food), easy access to porn, and 'better' opportunities for hot women elsewhere made this all but inevitable.
Also, hiring women based on attractiveness means you get sued to oblivion by ugly fatsos and leftists. So they end up with ugly fatsos that they cannot reject even if they wanted to.
If that were true there’s be none of these establishments.
IIRC Hooters got around hiring uggos by calling itself an "entertainment venue" and the Hooters girls "actors".
The quality of food has markedly improved in the last few years. Of all the chicken wing chains, their wings are near the top. They used to suck.
I'm surprised they lasted as long as they did. No one went there for the food and the waitresses dress modestly compared to the average thot on the street. Not to mention there was a story about them allowing trannies to work there.
You can't have a business model whose entire idea is "smack that cute girls butt when she walks by because GOD DAMN" in an era where you cannot do that legally anymore.
So no one is going to pay for slightly better food for a much worse experience than a stripper would provide.
The difference here is a have a modicum of respect for the Hooters waitress because she is actually doing a job, instead of just being a whore.
with internet porn as it is, I'm amazed stripper joints and sex-related entertainment venues that aren't brothels are still in business.
You can't motorboat a computer screen and smack its ass. I mean, you can: but it wouldn't be as fun.
Hooters couldn't stop itself from swallowing DEI drivel, so the only thing it did well, attractive women bringing you sub par food wasn't enough for it to stick around.
You'll just have to get your microwaved mozarella cheese sticks somewhere else.
I went to one of those once to watch a Wrestlemania. Eating at a restaurant was a lot cheaper than ordering a pay-per-view back then. Not true these days.
Bidenomics may have something to do with it.
That, and the way they do 'live premium events' these days. Used to be you'd have to pay your cable provider $50 to get access to one, now it's a part of an $8 monthly streaming subscription.
Not terribly surprised. The last time I went to a Hooters for a coworker's birthday lunch all the waitresses were pretty mid. Flabby, tatted and pierced everywhere and I'm pretty sure a couple of them were dudes LARPing as women.
Not unlike the airlines they used to have standards.
When eggs are ten dollars no one is going out to buy a kitschy experience
Whether fakeedgestreamer is right, I'm at the point where if the establishment targeted spend happy simps like they do the dissident right, we'd have an socioeconomic boom to dwarf the 1920s.
Digital rent seeking where the fantasy is more important than reality.
I think there is another reason for this reduction: most young men don't have a lot of good opinions of their female counterparts, and don't really go out anyways.
The food is pretty basic that ain't that great... simping over a waitress ain't enough to bring people in, specially when my area has so many Korean Fried Chicken/Wings that blow Hooters out the water.
