I'm Quitting the Internet

I'm quitting the Internet. I don't get paid enough to put up with the bullshit I experience daily.

To make money from porn you have to really be out there grinding away, making a name for yourself if you want a solo site or to sell clips... If you just want to do actual scenes then that's one thing itself but anyone who follows @MadelynXMonroe on twitter has seen that even someone who does just scenes, and a fair bit of them, doesn't make a fuckton of cash. You get one or two scenes a week if you're pretty, so on average bitches are making fifty grand a year, some maybe more, some less but it's not like anyone's getting rich from doing scenes alone, there just aren't enough companies to shoot for. Not only are you making small change but the expense of the clothing and keeping up your appearance cuts into it drastically. You think what we wear doesn't matter? You bitch like a bunch of catty females when you see the same bra twice.


I also came to realize that most pornstars make the majority of their money stripping or escorting and neither are jobs I want to make a career out of, so why am I working so hard to build a name in porn?


And the bullshit I deal with daily! I had someone pull my name and billing address from iTunes from an email linked to my iPhone! What's wrong with you guys? And every fuckkkkkinggg day I have to hear what's wrong with the way I look. I just don't give enough fucks to take this **** from you uneducated sloths, sitting at your computers making these entitled demands as if your opinion matters. I don't CARE what hair color you prefer! Shocking! I know. I don't **** up in the morning and think "Oh ****, I wonder if mister-has-never-seen-a-scene-or-spent-money-on-a-camshow will like how I look today. Maybe I should dye my hair and get some plastic surgery to appease this fine young gentleman" you guys are fucking rude and that's just the fans! The haters are another breed altogether, congregating in your little forums trying to piece together where I live, where I get coffee, where I work out... For what?!!! What do you expect is going to happen? You're going to show up at my home door, like I don't have guns in the house, like I've ever lived alone, a shy timid female weighing 80 pounds (lol) and you're going to what? **** me? Propose? I'll see you and my panties will just drop? What the fuck is wrong with some of you?


I got into porn as a side hobby, I had a solo site. My personality is just to go hard and to throw myself into **** so opportunities came and I still have opportunities coming. The top agent agreed to try me out, I have companies waiting for me to swap out my drivers license so I can shoot... But it's at the point where I need to go full time or find a different direction in life to pour myself into and I just don't see myself putting up with the hassle of porn any longer. I cringe when I think of all of the time, money and effort I've put into this for nothing, when I could've had anything.


When I started this I had no idea either, I thought top pornstars were making half a mill a year, it's definitely the image... But it hasn't been like that for ten or fifteen years, back when feature dancing was still a thing and girls got paid top dollar to do tours.


So like I said, I'm just not making enough cash to put up with the bullshit.

Good bye Veronica Vice :******:

 

[squallumz]

she'll be back. another quaalude and she'll love me in the morning.

 

[D-rock]

Sometimes I would like to quit the Internet,...but then I wouldn't have anything left.



It also goes to show how hard it is to make a lot of money in porn. Only a few people can do so, and often it involves more luck than anything.

 

[288gto]

She should really lose some weight and have some plastic surgery.

 

[rivasky]

why am I working so hard to build a name in porn

She calls three scenes in six months "working hard"? More like "I didn't get booked, so I weazel out of the industry."

Being successful in the industry today involved more than just showing up at a scene and looking pretty. A lot of work can go into it. Work that often doesn't pay off. That's probably what she was talking about. I can see at a certain point it just not being worth the hassle anymore. The fact one doesn't get many scenes on top of that just compounds the issue. :dunno:

That's just mean lol

 

[assari]

I think she gave up too early.

If you would like to become a true porn star you need a good manager and quality film roles.

Never heard of her, don't find her particularly attractive and I'm curious why she couldn't make an exit from the industry quietly without a diva like "I'm better than this" rant.

She speaks about her fan base like they are scum, aren't they the ones that kept her in the job for whatever length of time she was able to stand it?

I'm having flashbacks to JBhams thread about models attitudes, she seems like a right peach. There are plenty of prettier fish in the sea, she won't be missed.

 

[assari]

She has a good attitude towards customer.

 

[raimmi]

Who? Never heard of her before.

Drama Queen!

"Maybe I should dye my hair and get some plastic surgery to appease this fine young gentleman"
Well, she did at least have a nose, a lip and a boobjob.

 

[Mr. Hyde]

This is like a salesman who can't take hearing "no."

There are always going to be people who run you down no matter what you do. You have to ignore the negative types and focus on the positive. I'm sure this girl had ****-tons of admirers, but I bet she hardly gave a **** about them...she preferred to focus on the naysayers.

Too bad, I kinda like her look.

Being successful in the industry today involved more than just showing up at a scene and looking pretty. A lot of work can go into it. Work that often doesn't pay off. :

I realize that competition is fierce in LA, yet a lot of fresh faces get booked for a number of shoots as long as they ARE pretty.

Not comparing the situation to Europe where a decent looking gal on a two-weeks stint in Budapest, will get booked for a shoot (solo, lez, b/g) every day.

 

[AndiLand]

If you actually read her post, her decision to quit has nothing to do with "not getting booked"... it's clearly more to do with being fed up over a constant barrage of ignorant remarks, not unlike some of the things said in this thread. What she's saying is that it's not worth putting up with the BS anymore for less than half a mil a year. She's entitled to her opinion... at the end of the day, it's her life and her choice to make. I wish her all the best!

 

[rivasky]

I don't care what she types. She didn't get booked. Three scenes in six months. That's the facts.

 

[LeyaFalcon]

I am glad she put that out there, we do NOT make a ton of money, money is alright though. I have said this many times, I did not get into porn for the money but for the attention and the fun of it, the fact that I can make a living doing what I enjoy and have a LITTLE extra to put away is great. Everyone is always "money money money" yes, I like money but money is not my motivation, its just a good little bonus. Porn is no get rich quick scheme, its a job but and enjoyable job. Id rather be doing this job that I love and getting paid less than to be getting paid more for a job that I was not passionate about and did not enjoy.

 

[Will E Worm]

fifty grand a year, some maybe more

Good luck making that at restaurant or retail store. :1orglaugh

She's just looking to make big money.


She will be back. Hard work isn't her forte.


Howard Stern was talking to Eric the midget and telling him that he has to overlook bad comments on the net.

That's what you have to do.

Unless it is libel, slander, harassment, or someone telling you they will **** you. Then you report them.

 

[Ari Dee]

Diva? Drama queen? I don't think so. At all.

I don't believe it's an issue with her getting booked either. She has a very large following, and shooting porn scenes isn't the only thing she does.

Honestly, she's one of the most well educated, intelligent, women I've ever come across in the industry.
I don't see anything dramatic or diva like about this exit or it's explanation. She's saying the job is stressful and the money isn't worth. Who hasn't worked a job like that?!

I'm just curious if the people saying she doesn't want to do hard work have.. IDK.. WORKED WITH HER?
If not, what the hell are you talking about? I'm pretty sure she was stripping, modeling, and going to law school full time for quite a while. I have thought 23847238 times throughout the years while following her on twitter or working with some of the same people, "wow this girl works her ass off and never ******".
