Many of our porn-"loves" try different business models, some even only donate pages or amazon lists for their admirers to buy them cloths and stuff.
Its alright, but what forum posters and LP users need is true new anal hardcore scenes with them. Otherwise its just payed of for free soft Twitter-porn. Keeping a flame of porn-"love" maybe but not fuelling it really.
Its all individual how long you can be without new LP food or at least something from other studios. Me, personally I need LP as only for nostalgia I may visit other porn providers. With my last porn-"love" Julia Red it lasted 2-3mt without a new LP scene and only now I learned gonzo had still many of her DAPs boxed. Fire extinguished after some time, than something outside happened, some step by her or another girl hitting my radar and really impressing me. I am very loyal I think, but without food we all starve. And its LP food, not patreon a.o. Girls convince themselves, too. Look at Kira Roller for instance, who wants her rants and life streams now she doesn't perform anymore? Interest goes down, donates go down and than with 50 Rubles you can't live suddenly. And now think Italy, or just Prague in Czech, not the cheapest town either. Its as it is. If porn-"lovers" starve, than usual fans are already jumped to another girl(s) and nonaffiliated users just consume and have a good time, too.
Thus girls have it in their hands, too. Not only studios!
