What do you do when you go from making north of $5,000 per scene, or $60,000 per month if you do just 3 scenes a week to a plebian $200 to maybe a thousand dollars a scene, where to even make a measly $30,000 a year

A platform called OnlyFans became a thing - which turned the industry completely upside down, cutting out almost all the middlemen, and putting the profits back in the hands of providers

This is the booming, genius, nutty economics of OnlyFans - a truly disruptive platform that merged the creator economy, with the you-know-what economy.

Instagram, along with YouTube, did something special that the world has never seen before. It allowed average everyday people to create a personal connection with their followers. To the point where you kinda feel like you’re “virtual friends” with your favorite YouTubers and Instagram influencers. OnlyFans was created as a natural bolt-on to Instagram’s free feed, as a subscription-only feed.

If standard YouTubers and Instagram influencers are kinda like your virtual friends, then you can think of OnlyFans models as kinda like your “virtual girlfriends”.

LIVE: Jury Selection Resumes in Derek Chauvin Murder Trial Over George Floyd Death WorldViralMedia 35 Views • 5 years ago

(Mar. 16) Watch live as potential jurors in Derek Chauvin’s murder trial return Tuesday, March 16, to continue a selection process in the former Minneapolis police officer's trial over the death of George Floyd. Five jurors have been seated after just two days of screening by attorneys and the Hennepin County judge, Peter Cahill, who had set aside at least three weeks to fill the panel.

An attorney for a former Minneapolis police officer charged in George Floyd's death asked the judge Monday to delay the trial, saying the announcement of a $27 million settlement for Floyd's family could make a fair trial impossible.

Defense attorney Eric Nelson also raised the possibility of renewing his previously unsuccessful motion to move Derek Chauvin's trial to another city.

"I am gravely concerned with the news that broke on Friday," Nelson said, adding that the announcement "has incredible potential to taint the jury pool."

Mayor Jacob Frey deferred questions about the timing of the settlement to City Attorney Jim Rowader, who declined to comment.

Representatives for both said they were following the judge's guidance to not comment on the criminal proceedings.

Prosecutor Steve Schleicher said the state had no control over Frey and the City Council, who announced Friday that Minneapolis had agreed to the settlement that Floyd family attorney Ben Crump called the largest pretrial settlement ever for a civil rights claim.

Absent a delay or change of venue, Nelson urged Hennepin County District Judge Peter Cahill to consider giving both sides extra strikes to remove potential jurors for possible bias, and to recall the seven jurors seated last week to ask if the settlement affected their view of the case.

But Schleicher said those jurors already promised they could decide the case based only on evidence presented at trial.

Cahill agreed to consider the request for a delay, but didn't think it would be appropriate to grant additional strikes to either side.

He said he likely would recall the seven previously seated jurors for further questioning though he already instructed members of the jury pool to avoid all news coverage of the case.

Attorneys must settle on 12 jurors to deliberate and two alternates. At least three weeks have been set aside for jury selection.

The first potential juror questioned Monday was quickly dismissed after volunteering that she'd heard about the settlement and presumed it meant the city didn't feel it would win the civil case.

"When I heard that, I almost gasped at the amount," she said, adding that she couldn't promise she could disregard it.

Floyd, a Black man, was declared dead on May 25 after Chauvin, who is white, pressed his knee against his neck for about nine minutes.

Floyd's death sparked sometimes violent protests in Minneapolis and beyond and led to a national reckoning on racial justice.

Chauvin is charged with second-degree murder, third-degree murder and manslaughter.

What Is CBD Oil And How Did It Become A $1 Billion Industry? WorldViralMedia 35 Views • 6 years ago

You might have noticed a lot of products lately that are infused with CBD. But what exactly is CBD? CBD stands for cannabidiol, and it's part of the cannabis plant from which we also get marijuana. We spoke with Martin A. Lee, author of "Smoke Signals: A Social History of Marijuana - Medical, Recreational and Scientific" and the director of Project CBD to find out what exactly CBD is.

--------------------------------------------------

Following is a transcript of the video:

Narrator: With all the weed trucks and imagery all over New York these days, you might think to yourself, "Hey, is marijuana legal now?"

Not quite.

What these companies are selling is actually something called CBD. It's found in everything from lollipops to lattes.

And business is booming.

CBD products are part of what is estimated to be a roughly one billion dollar industry in the United States. And it's perfectly legal.

So, what does CBD have that marijuana doesn't?

Martin Lee: The fact of the matter is we're kind of in the midst of a CBD craze right now.

Narrator: Martin Lee is the director of Project CBD, an educational platform that focuses on cannabis science and therapeutics.

Lee: CBD stands for cannabidiol. That's a component of the cannabis plant that has significant therapeutic properties, but it's not intoxicating. It doesn't get you high like THC.

Narrator: As it happens, not all cannabis plants are created equal. Take a look at these two varieties. One is marijuana, the other is hemp. One gets you high, the other doesn't. The key difference is what's on the inside.

Lee: THC and CBD are the main components of the cannabis plant.

Narrator: THC is what makes you feel high, and marijuana plants are loaded with it.

Dave Chappelle: I don't know about y'all, but I can't even move.

Narrator: Hemp, on the other hand, has hardly any THC at all. But what it lacks in THC it makes up for with higher amounts of CBD. Now, CBD won't get you high, but it does have a redeeming quality: it's legal. And at least according to the marketing, it has a relaxing effect. So since this stuff is all the rage, let's see how it's made.

So, once you have a cannabis plant, one simple way to make extract can be done in your own kitchen.

Lee: As simple as using olive oil or butter and heating the trim from the plant or a little bit of the green material from the plant. Obviously that's not very useful for mass industrial production, to be cooking up something in your kitchen with butter and cannabis.

Narrator: But the more common way involves a specialized, complex machine.

Lee: One very widespread way is using what's called a supercritical CO2 extraction. It's ground up to have the texture initially of like a coffee grind. And it's poured into vessels, literally, of a supercritical CO2 machine. It will stay in that machine for upwards to 24 hours under different pressures and temperatures at different times of the extraction process. And ultimately you'll end up with a thick, golden oil that's very waxy in texture.

Narrator: You can also extract it using ethanol and hydrocarbons.

You can find this oil in a number of different products these days.

Lee: It can be administered in various different forms. It might be ingested, it might be applied topically.

Narrator: They even have CBD oil products for your pets. I stopped by a cafe in New York which sells all sorts of CBD-infused products. I tried a CBD matcha latte and a CBD macaroon. These snacks tasted great, and I felt a little more relaxed after, but it was hard to tell if the CBD was actually doing anything for me or if it was all in my head.

Scientists are actually still trying to figure out exactly how CBD affects the body.

Lee: So, there really is a scientific basis for understanding why CBD can work, but we're still really a long way of mastering the hows.

Narrator: Still, CBD may have more benefits than just a relaxing afternoon. Some initial studies have shown that CBD can help with a number of different medical conditions. In fact, in June 2018, the FDA approved the first CBD drug, Epidiolex, which is used to treat epilepsy.

So, who knows?

Perhaps we'll be seeing CBD in more places than just cannabis-decorated vans in the future.
