He did a bait and switch, goading metaverse-stripper hopefuls to hop aboard his NFT project.Ĭan you make $1 million as an erotic dancer in the metaverse? Well, I’m not saying it’s totally impossible, but it’s definitely improbable.

According to the Daily Dot, the TikToker is a scammer who created the video to lure viewers into joining his Discord server. “There’s no way in hell that’s true.” After doing some research, my skepticism was justified. I was minding my own business, scrolling through TikTok, and suddenly, I spotted a viral video, attracting a whopping five million views: claimed that he made $1 million in a year as a “metaverse stripper.” Record scratch. You may be wondering, 'What's a metaverse stripper's income?' Before I dive into this topic, let me tell you what compelled me to explore the steamy side of the metaverse. I may have shook my hot dog buns for free, but as it turns out, there are erotic dancers who get tipped for their skills. If you think that VR-based erotic dancers have it easy, simply strapping on a headset and shake their bums, stick around because, let me tell you, materializing your frisky side in the metaverse is not the walk in the park you think it is.

I completely underestimated how much mental preparedness, balance and coordination (you need to appear to hold the pole while dancing), and communication skills (for dirty talk, of course) one needs to successfully execute a pole-dancing routine in the metaverse from start to finish.
