"Economic crises have always triggered new social models. However, what we're seeing today goes beyond any temporary readjustment. From OnlyFans mansions to all-female villages, we're witnessing the greatest wave of community experimentation since the 1960s, the decade that held the hippie dream up to the mirror of late capitalism and ultimately spawned L'Arche, Twin Oaks and the much-cited Arcosanti. Bop House is the viral bastion where content creators for OnlyFans an online platform where users pay for exclusive (mostly sexual) material live today."
"The collective that owns it claims to have earned $15 million in two months. The mansion functions as a nonstop film set. Psychologist Cristina Marin explains: People who seek out these types of extreme coexistence models are obviously looking for a change, as opposed to traditional models. The television background to these lifestyles is revealing. Rafa de Jaime Julia and Daniela Varela, two podcasters specializing in reality shows and popular culture, emphasize that it was Kid Nation that took reality TV to the limit."
Economic crises have historically spawned new social models, but current shifts exceed temporary readjustment. Communities now form around digital platforms and lifestyle experiments, from OnlyFans mansions to all-female villages. Bop House exemplifies a content-creator collective claiming $15 million in two months and operating as a nonstop film set.

The internet and social media make joining or forming such groups only a click away.
