nah, I don't think it's a scam... think about it... it's called onlyfans right?
As a fan (short for fanatic), you would be willing to pay any price just for your idol to acknowledge you. Some celebs/famous ppl would charge for pictures with them, autographs, etc. Wanna get close with Megan, Beyonce, or Iggy (I see snowbunnies in this thread... I like them too), or RiRi in the VIP at the nightclub? Gotta pay extra. Do you mind? Hell naw, not when comes to taking your shot. Another example, folks go deep in their wallets for some new Js... and Jordan don't even know their name...
Only difference between OF and real life is just that. OF gives virtual dopamine hits and the OF celebs ain't gotta meet up face to face and smell what burger their fan just had from Carl Jr's...
