A woman in Turkey has shaken social media by earning 178,000 Turkish lira per month by sharing only photos of her feet through a paid subscription system on Instagram. The woman, who hides her face, has sparked debates over "easy money and labor." While some have strongly criticized this situation as unfair, others have argued that it is purely a matter of supply and demand. This unusual source of income, which has divided social media, has become one of the most talked-about events of the day.
The extent of income obtained through social media in Turkey was once again brought to light by a recent striking incident. It sparked a major debate in the online world when it was revealed that a female user who activated the "subscription" system on Instagram earned 178,000 TL per month by only sharing photos and videos of her feet.
NO FACE, JUST FOOT PHOTOS
According to information obtained, the female user living in Turkey, who keeps her face or daily life hidden in her profile, opened Instagram's special subscription model offered to content creators for a very different niche audience. Promising "exclusive content" for a certain monthly fee, she began offering her subscribers only various angles of her feet in stills and short videos. Thanks to this unusual concept, the user, who quickly reached a considerable number of subscribers, was reported to have a monthly income of up to 178,000 TL.
"EASY MONEY OR A SUPPLY AND DEMAND ISSUE?"
This astronomical earnings picture that emerged has virtually divided users on social media platforms. Many people harshly criticized the situation, describing it as an "unimaginable easy way to make money." Prominent comments among the reactions included, "While people work day and night to make ends meet, earning this much money just with foot photos damages the sense of justice" and "The concept of labor is being hollowed out."
In response, another group defending the situation as a result of the free market opposed the criticism. These users stated that there was no coercion involved, that people were paying for this content of their own free will and according to their tastes, and expressed that the woman was merely smartly capitalizing on an existing "supply and demand" opportunity.
