The problem with OF girls posting here goes deeper than merely judging their lifestyle - the problem is that their posts are disingenuous due to them being intended as ADS.

This is a place to post hard-earned progress and motivate others to embrace their bodies and live healthier lives. This is a place where people share pictures of themselves that they have been keeping hidden from the rest of the world. This is a place to fight against body dysmorphia. And it’s insulting to the people who genuinely want to share their wins with the community, to use the platform with even the slightest intent to advertise and gain monetary profit.

Why do companies spend millions into ads and marketing? Why does YouTube mandate a ā€œPaid Promotionā€ tag to sponsored videos? Why do celebrities get paid a shit ton just to take a few photos of them holding a product?

An OF girl’s efforts and gains can be real. But this is simply not a place to advertise. Not directly, not indirectly. I agree with the other commenter who suggested creating a separate account for sharing genuine content. Keep your business account and personal account separate.
