She is top tier. Anyone who can make money selling bathwater is top tier in my book.

In my book there are more important traits to a person other than their ability to make a quick buck.

In a capitalist society, having financial stability is one of the most important traits there is.

You can be very affluent and still have a bad image in the public eye of a capitalist society.

When people voice their disapproval of Belle Delphine it ain't relating to her making lots of money, but to the way she makes that money.

And continue to stigmatize sex-workers perpetuating a hypocritical morality that in reality is influenced less by some sort of moral framework, and more about being jealous that she got the looks, the hutzpah, and the big G's that the 80s morality police can only dream of.

I don't think the displayed dislike of Belle Delphine reflects upon any supposed stigamtisation of sex-work. People on the internet don't bat an eye at the existence of PornHub and show anger when hentai sites get shut down. If online pornography is widely approved but Belle Delphine isn't, supposed stigmatisation of sex work cannot be the cause of Delphine's disapproval.

> and more about being jealous

There are far more successful people in the entertainment industry than her, yet people don't appear to display hostility against them out of envy for their talents and wealth. The thing is that people differentiate in the (supposed) quality and merit of a product and the effort that the creator puts into it, independently of the wealth it generates for its creator. For this reason people laud talented musicians, authors or even online personas like PewDiePie, because they appreciate their works and/or consider them genuinely entertaining and likeable people.

By the logic that easy success breeds jealousy and spite Pewds would have to be one of the most hated personas on the internet, considering he made himself a millionaire by playing video games and making jokes in front of a camera, something that most people can only dream of. Turns out he's still widely popular, and I don't think people would gleefully cheer if his Youtube channel would be taken down, unlike with Delphine's Instragram.

Making ahegao faces into a camera and selling your risque pictures and bathwater may be a relatively easy and profitable endeavour, but don't expect any great praise for it from the wider public. If one wants to be jealous of a smart and successful enterpreneur there are probably far better ones than someone who built her entire fame around being fap material for "thirsty gamer boys".

I really don't see what the problem in how she makes money. She isn't hurting anyone or doing anything unethical. The only complaints I see are "she is taking advantage of lonely people" which makes no sense. Like saying McDonalds takes advantage of hungry people. She isn't tricking anyone or begging. Not that i'm aware of, at least.

>they basically do nothing

What do you mean they basically do nothing? Dress up, makeup, set up shoot location, take photos, edit photos, manage social media. Its a lot of work.
Try it yourself if you think its so easy.

Regardless of how much effort she puts in, her customers have decided to reward her work handsomely.

The only way to surmount her dominance of the thirsty gamer market is to flood Instagram with dozens of identical cosplaying e-girls.

Inshallah.

That's not that hard to do if you don't do anything else. With the amount of money she makes, it isn't that hard to toss a few buckaroos at someone to help her manage her shit if she can't handle it.

>That's not that hard to do if you don't do anything else.

relative to what? Easier than nuclear engineering? Sure. Easier than working some min wage job? No.

you're just gonna keep applying some weird ass logic to your bullshit to appear holy than thou, so im not gonna bother anymore.

I'm the one acting holier than thou? Thats you, by saying she doesn't work hard and isn't as good as other people.

Difficulty of work is relative, depending on what you measure it. Some categories to measure job dificulty would be:

Qualification
Delphine's work doesn't require any sort of qualification, unlike doctors, lawyers, engineers, teachers or any other field of work that demands years of academic study and a degree to fulfill it.

Physical demand
It certainly isn't physically taxing, unlike many min wage jobs. Sure she has to stay in shape to keep her looks, but it's not like it's backbreaking, musclestraining labour.

Mental demand
It may be mentally demanding to manage her online presence, staying in touch with her audience and constantly producing content to keep them interested, but I doubt that it's that stressful and time consuming that she's in danger of overworking or burnout.

Responsibility
Her work doesn't burden her with great responsibility either. Her acts and decisions do not decide over the fate of any great number of subordinate employees, vast sums of money or over lifes of other people, unlike upper managers in large enterprises, judges, doctors, military brass or high ranking politicians. Whatever mistakes she may do concern only her and her business. The stakes she's dealing with ain't very high.

Danger
Zero. Work-related accidents or death are nigh impossible in her field of occupation.

Competition
I do not know how competitive the e-thot scene is, so I can hardly judge on that part. While there may be swathes of e-thots inhabiting various platforms, very few reach such notoriety like Delphine, and it is evident that the market is far from oversaturated. It's not like she has to live in fear of being eclipsed and pushed out of business by her competitors any time soon.

Required skills
The only skills Delphine's work requires is knowing how to apply make-up, some basic knowledge of photo editing and social media savviness.

Luckily for her we live in a capitalist society where even somebody without any noteworthy qualifications or exceptional skills can freely start up a business and come to riches with nothing more than good looks, some charisma, entrepreneurial spirit and a scoop of luck. And of course a capitalist society where plenty of people possess enough disposable income that they can literally give it to some girl in return for some lewd pics and superficial attention over the internet.

@Nigel the treasure hunter
>Delphine's work doesn't require any sort of qualification

qualification as in some degree or something? Sure, no, but as in "a quality or accomplishment that makes someone suitable for a particular job or activity." yes, absolutely. Running a successful social media profile takes a lot skill and experience. Some companies charge hundreds or thousands of dollars to apply their experience in internet marketing for your website/company
You can't just hand anyone an instagram account, a camera, and photoshop for them to suddenly be successful.

>It certainly isn't physically taxing, unlike many min wage jobs.

Most min wage jobs just have you standing around and/or walk around the store. jobs like warehouse and construction work isn't min wage.

>but I doubt that it's that stressful and time consuming that she's in danger of overworking or burnout.

I just spend over 7 hours editing photos over the course of two days. Its very mentally exhausting. This assumes she edits her own photos though. Its probably a mix between her editing photos and having someone else do it, idk.

>it is evident that the market is far from oversaturated.

???? in what way is that evident? A lot of small time cosplayers trying to make it big buy from my shop, so I see a lot of them.
here have a examples and more
sexy cosplayers are a dime a dozen.

>It's not like she has to live in fear of being eclipsed and pushed out of business by her competitors any time soon.

Of course she does. Just like any content creator, if they don't keep up with current trends and start to get lazy, people will move to someone else. There is an endless amount of sexy cosplayers.

>The only skills Delphine's work requires is knowing how to apply make-up, some basic knowledge of photo editing and social media savviness.

Thats like saying basketball is just throwing a ball in a net. There is way more skill involved.
I feel like this is you right now

You have no experience in the field, so you think you know it all and its all easy.
