The Stripper Index tracks economic health through sex workers' earnings, and OnlyFans spending follows the same pattern. Someone tipped $300,000 on the platform, but bank statements show most creators see declining revenue as discretionary spending drops during economic stress.

The Wall Street Journal actually did an interesting piece years ago, and it was called, I think, the Stripper Index. And they, they can track the market and what's going to happen with the economy by how well strippers are doing.
They raided a stripper club the other day. ICE did. My husband sent me the video. He said, now why are you messing with them? They said, why are they messing with them girls? Like, they get paid under the table to offer just a little bit of entertainment.
What city?
Check. What city was that? It was a nice-rated strip club. Wow. Messing with underpaid table workers. You know they get paid off tips. She said, what?
That's wrong. That's wrong.
Now what are we husbands gonna do?
That's true.
I said, you're right, babe. Like, I gotta protest about this.
So the strippers are the first ones to feel it. And I would say that's OnlyFans people. I've seen it with OnlyFans as well because that's discretionary spending. I've had a few OnlyFans bankruptcies. And when I look through their bank statements, because, you know, during information.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, you know, okay, so, you know, my income's down a little bit. I was like, your income's not down. I see exactly what you see, the tips going over to the OnlyFans. They're falling in love.
Ruby Rose says sometimes she gets $300,000 tips, bro. Ain't no man gonna marry you.
I had a client paying $1,000 for pictures of feet. I thought that was like a joke. $1,000 a month, random month.
I was like, come on, pictures. Where do I sign up? Have pretty feet. Should I start a feet OnlyFans?
Hey, I don't blame anybody for doing that.
It will get me out of debt fast, I promise you. I don't feel like that's beneath me. It's themed.
Times are crazy right now.
Isn't it a form of entertainment? Because during the Great Depression, they said they saw the sex industry go up. Yeah. Movies go up, alcohol go up.
Oh, for sure. And that's how people escape the reality of their life. And people are into different things, whatever.
Yeah. No judgment here.
Whatever you're into, but just make sure you can afford it though. That's the one thing, like, you're like, truly, they're letting their health go. They're letting other things in their life go. They're letting their marriage go. They're letting it— and for what? And I guess that dopamine hit whenever your inbox gets a few pictures of feet. Like, I don't mean to laugh, but—
Chad, don't you laugh when you see my feet cross the internet.
