While it isn't common knowledge how to identify agency-ran accounts in late-2024, the mainstream commercial sale of the tools and resources these entities use will undoubtedly make this knowledge more widespread in the next year or two. To summarize, looking at these accounts with a critical eye and understanding the implications would reasonable leave creators, especially new ones, realizing that their bastion for female empowerment is mostly just agencies, and most experienced creators seem to agree they're highly exploitative.

Every day when I put hours and hours of work in, I think about all the creators being exploited by agencies that are also exploiting low-wage countries, but investing a tenth of the time and energy for potentially ten times the profit. We all love capitalism, but it almost feels like creators aren't rewarded enough for putting in the work.

Some ideas to even the playing field:

1. Make logging in from multiple locations throttle for you page engagement, like instagram or tiktok would

2. Require Face ID to log in to your account to get rid of agencies and A.I all together

3. Increase the amount of times you have to verify randomly throughout the year

4. Make bot-like behavior require verification

5. Add a "last verified" tag that has the date the creator last verified

Ultimately, it's silly when I'm trying to bring somebody to my pages, and they're hesitant because these agencies give real, active, creators bad reputations. I've purposely subbed to agency accounts to see what their secrets are, and all it is is being online 24/7 with a chatter that probably doesn't speak your language, and won't respond to anything you say meaningfully, but will try to sell overpriced content that is lackluster hourly. It's forcing me to raise prices this coming fall, because I spend all this time competing with agencies, while potential customers are spending 5 times more for lackluster content that leaves them feeling scammed. The fact that some of these "creators" reach out to try and recruit more of us to their agency is even more sketchy. I'm sure plenty of us have dealt with the guy in our DM's that's so afraid you're going to scam him, but I get it now, because I've seen it firsthand so many times.

So, naturally, when this becomes more common knowledge, especially if The United States delves into the ethics of sex-work discussion in 2025 (which we're on-course for if you're paying attention) people are going to feel a certain kind of way. Men are going to feel validated in not paying for content, due to the scammy nature amplified by agencies, and women are going to feel less incentivized to compete. So, I guess to me, it seems like the best thing to do is reward actual creators more, because almost all the creators I know drop out. It's a tough industry, and it's hard to survive a year or two, but with agencies, it's almost impossible for newer creators as this problem spirals out of control across ALL social media and adult platforms.
