Unfortunately, it's the best-curated collection of providers online. This forum provides a great library of knowledge and experience that others can share honestly and openly. When you compliment both, it can give you some empowerment.
But I will admit, the industry has changed, and providers mostly use RM as a conduit to promote their adult content on OF. They don't really have much incentive as they did 8 years ago to really pursue this profession.
With OF:
- They are in control of their image and the content they produce
- Engage with other hot guys who look like them
- Make good money
- Less need to travel, especially to remote areas to make a living
