Very good article. As a man, I obviously haven't experienced the bulk of this personally, but it rings true with what I've seen. I've been saying for a while, for example, that most FTM's seem to have a desperate desire to be desexualized, while most MTF's seem to have a desperate desire to be sexualized (and more deeply, to be valued and desired). Obviously both are signs that something in how society treats both men and women since "sexual liberation" has gone horribly wrong.
One thing that could bear mentioning is that while Belle Delphine and those like her get flaunted in the media, most who go that path DON'T get rich. The most common OF payment per month is $0. The second most common is a few hundred. Survivorship bias creates delusions.
Another thing that this article doesn't address is aging. This may be because you're fairly young yourself, in which case congrats for figuring so much out so quickly, but the heavy attention women get from men takes place within a limited window. That window can be a different size depending on the woman and how well she takes care of herself, but very few manage to keep it open through their 40's. That's when women get to experience something more similar to men's existence, where they're judged by what they do or have done rather than what they are. So most of the women who have been riding this OF/e-girl/whatever-you-want-to-call-it wave haven't really experienced the brunt of the consequences of their life choices yet. When they do, that's when things are REALLY going to get interesting, as there's definitely going to be a major social shift, one way or another.
We've all seen it before, the attention-seeking young 24-year old hottie.
Even if you find her cute now, her act will be getting mighty old by the time she's 34. And it will have really worn thin when she's 44, especially as the old tricks no longer get her the same results that they once did.
That is only because lots of women would create an OF account out of curiosity, but never actually put anything on it (just like how people would create an email account for one-time use and then immediately forget about it).
If we only look at active OF accounts, i.e. accounts that are consciously being run like a business, it is very profitable in terms of the time and effort required.

Even taking that as given, the law of diminishing returns would indicate that the average payout would decline as more women joined OF.
