But seriously, does anyone not have an onlyfans these days? It's probably not a good look for capitalism that seemingly 1/3 of the country has turned to sex work to make ends meet. Definitely not a dystopia.

It doesn't have anything technically to do with sex work, but I believe he got that term from the documentary Hypernormalization. Basically it's about how media and internet has shaped our lives into accepting a bizarre reality that is both real and seperate from the physical world.
I think it applies to the Onlyfans trend exactly how Doomposter says, the new constructed online reality normalizes the dangers of sex work. I hadn't really followed this trend outside of memes, but what you described in your long post seems spot on for the general hypernomalization of society. Especially the part about girls going on TikTok and lying about how easy it is, then more girls do that and it reinforces the trend. I'm sure others play it up because they don't want to be seen as losers who don't get paid much. Suddenly the "idea of Onlyfans" is completely separated from the actuality of Onlyfans.
