Thank you SO MUCH for being open to it 🫶🏼
I just took @SWR_data State of The Creator Survey. I love taking this every year and seeing the data of what’s going on in the adult industry. If you work in the adult industry, I definitely recommend taking it. It also raises funds for several sw organizations.

4/ Fetish creators also earn differently. Clip income matters about twice as much to them as subscription income. They average 5+ platforms, compared with 3 for vanilla creators…

Thanks so much to @clips4sale for sponsoring the post, which not only allowed us to go deeper into the data than usual, but helped us raise $1K for the @swaidvegas mutual aid fund.

2/ To keep a handful of superstar earners from skewing it, we dropped the top and bottom 5% of incomes. The gap held. Fetish creators: $74,052
Vanilla creators: $61,066 That's 21% more..

3/ Creators have noticed. 47% now sell some kind of kink or fetish content, up from 31% in 2022. The girl next door has a lot of competition. A good “giantess” has a lot less.

Full-time fetish creators earned a median of $60,000 last year. Full-time vanilla creators earned $50,000.. That's a 20% gap..

Ask performers what keeps them in this industry and many will say it's the people. Hear creators talk about community and why having people who understand your work makes all the difference. #FSCSpeakOut @EPAUnited

These net sentiment numbers come solely from creators on those platforms, who hold a positive rather than negative, view of the platform. At a time of increasing attacks, understanding who other queer and trans creators feel supported by is critical. swrdata.substack.com/p/is-th…
