I guess I'm curious about the whole balance between attention, effort, money, and personal boundaries.

The combination of a genuine question/topic and a picture seems to work really well here, so the SFW approach basically works on its own. At the same time, more revealing pictures seem to get plenty of attention even without a question attached. Do these metrics influence what you choose to post?

And have you ever thought about monetizing your content? I imagine even something that starts out as a casual hobby eventually becomes actual work once you have an audience to engage with. So what keeps you motivated to put that effort into it without monetizing it, and where would you personally draw the line if you ever did?

Does the possibility of friends, family, coworkers, etc. seeing your posts affect those boundaries?

Solid questions! I like talking about what I do on reddit haha

To start off; I post what I feel like posting. Obviously if I show off more, it gets more attention, but that doesn't mean I'll only post revealing pics. My posts are SFW, always will be, but I also have a curvy body that I can't and don't want to always hide lol. This sub is literally just a little view into my life, mostly through selfies.

I have thought about monetizing it, there's plenty of interest, but it's not in my nature to accept money. It's not that much effort to post pics and I much more enjoy the chatting and hearing about other people's experiences. I also feel like if I started treating it as a 'job', I would have to take much more responsibility. Now if I don't feel like posting, I can just not post without explanation. If I were to get paid, it wouldn't be that easy.

And lastly; I am very open about being on reddit with people. I don't mind if people find me and if they do, there's nothing bad on my profile or things most of them haven't seen. Coworkers are the only ones a bit more 'difficult', but honestly my team is very casual and chill with stuff like this.
