There are quite a few making a living from live-streaming in the Anglosphere as well. I'm amazed that men send money. (OK, maybe amazed is the wrong word.)

I remember reading a while back about some controversy that some of the female live-streamers were being reported to the IRS for unreported income, with the IRS sending audit notices to them.

One phenomenon across the animal kingdom is the nuptial gift, where giving expensive resources is used to prove fitness for mating: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuptial_gift

I first came across the concept in the delightful book "Dr Tatiana's Sex Advice to All Creation", which covers the evolutionary biology of reproduction in the form of an advice column with letters from birds, insects, etc: https://www.amazon.com/Dr-Tatianas-Sex-Advice-Creation/dp/08...

That's it. I forgot they were sexually explicit. Apparently those in TFA are not.

From what I recall from various forums and reddit threads it was not just users who generated sexually explicit content, but any streamer judged to be a “thot”.
