I was that guy. And at no point I thought of wasting $200 on some nude pictures or videos. The internet is full of them for free.

If you have a specific attachment to some celebrity in particular, there is a high chance that the internet is in fact not full of them, even for an infinite price.

And, if the pictures/vids have been leaked, there are still people who will pay for personalized content, in which the celebrity personally mentions the payer's name or has a conversation with them or etc.

But the internet isn't full of pictures that were taking specifically for you and accompanied by personal correspondence to you. the product isn't the pictures. The product is an experience, likely to do with power and not sex. The feeling of control. The feeling that you're able to tell someone what to do. The feeling that you're participating in taboo.

> like to do with power and not sex
