Gia the Smutty Mystic’s mornings resemble those of many people who work from home: She wakes up around 6 in her sunny apartment in the East Bay region of California and grabs her phone. Inevitably, there’s a backlog of messages from customers, most of which she responds to before she gets up to water her plants and wash her face. If it’s a Friday, when she usually records most of her weekly content — JOI (jerk-off instruction) videos are one of her current specialties — she has to work around the screams of children playing in a nearby park and traffic noise from the intersection outside her window. During the rest of the week, she’s seated at her desk by noon, editing, posting and queuing her content, which ranges from safe-for-work dancing videos to explicit boy-girl clips. Much of what she produces is shared on Instagram, Reddit and Twitter. But by 6 p.m., she’s “in the DMs,” meaning her private messages on OnlyFans, a subscription-based platform that allows people to charge for access to the materials they share. She’ll be there until midnight, sexting with customers one-on-one.
