I had a suspicion that maybe he employs somebody because to the extent that I've ever got replies they're usually kind of non sequiturs and just a generic answering of a question with another question. But if that's true then you're not getting good value for money joe. For someone who purports to be a nice guy it's pretty shameful to trick people like this example. At least be an asshole about it
I‘m asking because there was a specific situation recently where one of my close friends, who follows his journey since the early beginnings messaged him on Instagram telling him about his concerns of him doing OF and selling himself under his worth..

He messaged him in a very friendly and respectful way (not expecting him to even reply) but he actually replied suprisingly fast and the only thing he had to say was „You‘re not even following me “ completely ignoring everything else my friend said. My friend replied again in a super respectful way, almost even apologizing for his honesty and told him how inspiring he always been to my friends own and his boyfriends personal journey of growing up gay in a conversative environment..

Long story.. but my friend and even his boyfriend (irdk how the hell Joe found out who his bf was) ended up being blocked by him..
So if it was really him he either must be a huge asshole with some big ass ego issues, or it was a social media manager with way too much time, who did not allow anyone to critizise his new way of making money.

Hard to say. Like I said I have not had a great interaction in DMs with him. Although if I was him I'm not sure I would take too kindly to a total stranger making judgments about my decisions regarding where and how I put out content.
 
OF needs to have a report button to report scammers
The Report button is at the top of every post, profile, and DM message. You can open a ticket with Customer Service too, I have done that several times. And/or you can email the help line

The bigger issue is if OF actually takes action or not. They don't unless it is really clear that someone is scamming, hence all the vague DM language and emoji that Joe uses

Take the caption "Unlock if you want me to let go of the towel", he doesn't say he actually IS GOING TO let go of the towel, that way if/when people complain, he can say he never promised them anything

This is why we all need to ask OF creators to clarify what the content contains. If they refuse to clarify then do not buy, and if they say “yes” to something you have asked then you have that as evidence that they lied and you have a clear cut way to get your money back
