As performers can we go ahead and say that no one who is preforming for a studio should be getting paid any less than 1k a scene I hear about some of these new models scene rates and how multiple well known studios are knowingly taken advantage of young performers #1Kornothing Joey Mills (@JoeyMillsXXX)
He clarified that he wasn't criticizing the models taking less money, but rather pointing out how studios might be exploiting their naivety. "If you're a performer making less than 1k this isnt me coming after you in any way," he said, "I just want everyone to realize what your worth instead of letting your studio decide for you."

A number of models responded to the tweet, sharing just how much (or little) they were paid when they started out in the industry, citing specific studios who underpaid their performers. "Back when I worked for Boycrush we were only paid 400-500 per scene," one guy replied while another said that as recently as last year, he only received $300 for his first scene.
"When I started out I was making $500 per scene," said Nic Sahara. "Now that I am more experienced, I feel like a model should make no less than 1k."
It was the second time in the same week that the gay porn industry was criticized by its actors for unfair practices. Just two days before, gay porn star Armond Rizzo called out a studio for paying its sexually submissive performers less than their dominant scene partners, essentially creating a wage gap between tops and bottoms .
This has never happened to me but theres a studio who is interested in me and what I found out about them is mind blowing. They pay bottoms way less than tops n there excuse the site is more top dominant, I dont give a fuck who are you to say that a bottom is worth less???? Armond Rizzo (@ArmondRizzoXXX)

Such inconsistent and inequal income is just one explanation for why so many porn stars are carving out their own niche on platforms like OnlyFans, where they can cultivate regular revenue streams through subscriptions in exchange for home-made content.
