TBH, I don't blame her in the least. It's hard enough for men. I can't imagine what it must be like for women to endure misogyny on top of what men go through in STEM.

If you've got it, flaunt it.
I hope she manages to set up an irrevocable trust that guarantees steady income for the rest of her life so someday she can quit sex work and just pursue art or something if she wants
Hell, maybe it'll turn out that sex work is her art and that is ok too
Good for her but I can't help but feel envious that paths and choices like this are basically exclusively only available to the opposite sex
you could argue that men have similar exclusive, lucrative paths that use their strength/athleticism and are also probably statistically similar rates of exclusivity within their sex. Like, not everyone will be a professional footballer just like not every onlyfans model makes livable income.
Not to mention, it's definitely possible for men to have successful careers in sex work. I expect there are far fewer successful men in sex work, and they probably need to be ok with having a mostly male clientele. But it's still possible.
it isn't. there's a lot of male OF models too, although their fans are probably mostly gay men. good news is, unlike performers from before online videos took off, you don't really have to be "gay for pay". OF models can get away with doing solo work as well.
Sex work is performance art.
But my Puritan beliefs are more important than her well being!!!

This is... so inefficient.
She could have become an engineer (or whatever she wants), made videos about it, and made a big difference in many people's lives, and had whatever personal life she wanted. Instead, she's producing 'entertainment' that's been replicated a bajillion times.
I an happy for her personally, but this is such a loss to society and a huge ding against the education/work pipeline. I assume she would've rather gone into her chosen field if it wasn't such a miserable grind. If it isn't 'worth the hardship' for someone so brilliant, hardworking, charismatic, and everything to go into STEM, then the system she's in is completely busted.
If it's such a loss to society, perhaps something should be done about society's economic structure and how it partitions rewards. Rather than throwing shade on someone for making an economically advantageous decision.
I've done cursory research on this person, and my understanding is that she claims she will still be teaching science but only wearing sexy tops on. I don't know how truthful that is but even some Olympic athletes said they are in Only fans but "only being sexy without showing", in order to supplement their income. I don't really fault people for this considering the worsening cost of living crisis.
The problem with sex work under capitalism isn't the worker, but the capitalism.
Capitalism is a completely inefficient and unsustainable grift based on serving privileged white wieners.
Plenty of Chinese, black, south american weiners.
There is no need to bring in race and divide us. We're all getting fucked by the 1% regardless of skin color.

I googled this story to, uh, fact check it, and found this article saying that her move to OF is fake news. Except, upon closer examination, it seems the article is AI slop and completely made up. How ironic.
So I'm reading this debunking, and
Zara smartly leveraged the viral moment to confront the misinformation head-on and promote her YouTube channel, where her actual content lies.
So I go to her YouTube channel https://youtube.com/@zara-dar and,
Description
STEM Gal and Model Austin, Texas.Message me:
https://ZaraDarz.com
Most recent video is https://youtu.be/_uEG0H4RXcA where she says she is making an OnlyFans (I'm not going to watch the full 10 minutes so unless this is an elaborate prank that's revealed in the end...)
Go to https://ZaraDarz.com which is listed as her website on her YouTube channel
STEM Gal | PhD Dropout | OnlyFans model
Go to the OnlyFans link https://onlyfans.com/zaradar/c3
If you are a sapiosexual, this page is for you 😉 (Please click “more info” below 🥹)
Texas-born and bred, engineer, Ph.D. dropout, and YouTuber. I'm a nerd with a passion for art, fitness, and reading.
On this page, I share with you my artistically and beautifully curated exclusive content which includes a level of nudity and my love for erotica 📸. I love pushing my boundaries with you 😉.
Also this Instagram page links to her website (the one mentioned on her YouTube) and is from at least as far back as December 2022 https://www.instagram.com/zara.darz/ which also mentions she is a 🌶️ Content Creator and links to an exclusive invite only Instagram page.
And I'm just rereading your comment and seeing that you said the debunk article is AI slop, I thought you were saying that article called others AI slop lmao.
Well, if anyone else misreads it they can also see this too now lol.
I watched the video and it is very convincing and honestly true on many levels. If you can earn much better money from being your own boss then why would you want to spend time with those assholes at work for less?
I am doing it myself just not as successful and not porn because I like privacy.
There is something strange about her and this whole thing though. I can’t help to think it’s all some kind of stunt or AI person idk. Something is uncanny. Maybe it is just the autism that radiates from her that throws me off and looks like AI.
We live in the times when it is increasingly hard to tell what is real. And also honestly if she was compsci phd and machine learning expert at this level 1 million is nothing vs what potentially she could make right now with that background and shrewd. There’s so much money in this right now, you just don’t drop to do porn when we have second internet revolution for better or worse. Something doesn’t add up.
She probably gets treated more respectfully by her OnlyFans viewers than her co-workers in her PhD program.
I personally never understood dropping out when something like this happeneds. Like bro now you got the money to have the degree and not worry about paying it off. Might as well have it just to have it
Academia is misogynist enough without an OF account. She's leaving a shitty job not just a low paying job.
Step one to becoming an Onlyfans star .... be young
Step two to becoming an Onlyfans star ... have natural beauty
OnlyFans is suspicious af considering it’s not blocked in US states with porn bans. Some weird small group of people did a lot of hard work to effectively create a monopoly over porn in some U.S. states, users and creators should beware. I wouldn’t be surprised if some of these onlyfans contents are marketing pieces.
Good for her! I'm sure it's not easy to achieve that kind of success on OnlyFans, so clearly she made some smart moves to get where she is.
Seen half a dozen posts like this recently. Always screams misogynistic outrage bait to me.
I'm fairly convinced posts like this are sponsored by these platforms to trick young women into joining, as they need an endless supply of new "content" when people get bored of the popular models. That fetish site "Feet Finder" did that a lot, they sponsored tens of thousands of TikTok creators to pretend they got rich selling their feet pictures, when in reality, the people joining the platform were never paid.
I might do this to get out of being a software developer, tbh,
