Ian and Jaedon are back with an in-depth discussion of the problem of online pornography. OnlyFans is a website similar to Patreon—where people can subscribe to paid "content creators" of various topics. Unlike Patreon, OnlyFans does not have a restriction on pornography and adult content which has lead to it becoming a major player in online pornography and leading to the uprising of the "stripper-influencer lifestyle". The primary subject of discussion is on the framing of this "stripper-influencer lifestyle" and the real problems that stem from people who both create and consume this content.

“"If you go to Nevada," he said, "you can gamble, drink, and attend all sorts of shows. But here's what you can't do: If you want to worship and you're the 51st person in line, sorry, you are out of luck. Houses of worship are limited to 50 attendees. The size of the building doesn't matter. Nor does it matter if you wear a mask and keep more than six feet away from everybody else. And it doesn't matter if the building is carefully sanitized before and after a service. The state's message is: Forget about worship and head for the slot machines, or maybe a Cirque du Soleil show."
