The newest influencers? Porn stars.

Sex sells. So does outrage. That's why these sex workers are making rage bait. In the past few months, UK and Australian-based OnlyFans creators like Bonnie Blue and Annie Knight made headlines for their extreme sex stunts, most notably for sleeping with over 100 men in one day. But in addition to these stunts, they also appear on controversial podcasts to gain traction, or do day in the life vlogs - much like your average everyday influencer. And they're making bank. So how did we get to this point? Brittany wanted to know more, and find out why this matters for those of us who don't consume this content. So, she sat down with New York Magazine writer Rebecca Jennings and writer and author Charlotte Shane to discuss the blurry lines of sex work, influencing, and rage bait. For handpicked podcast recommendations every week, subscribe to NPR’s Pod Club newsletter at npr.org/podclub.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
