You can see something similar in the works on Snapchat, where hundreds of porn stars and even companies such as Redtube and Brazzers boast accounts. Clover's one of many stars charging for their Snapchat, be it a monthly, yearly or a lifetime fee. Although Snapchat's Terms of Service specifically prohibit the selling of Snaps without their written permission, this doesn't seem to have much force."I used to charge €10 a month or if you wanted to buy if for a year it was €45 – even if people find you on there without paying for it, you can block them." Many stars also have wish lists and some stars only allow you on their Snapchat if you buy something from their wishlist. These wishlists can contain anything from underwear to a car. Clover tells me, "probably the biggest donation I ever got was I had a guy send me a €4,500 cheque so I could buy a new car." Handy.However, many stars, including Clover, decide to keep their Snapchats free to access. "It's a good marketing tool," she says. "I try to keep a balance of porn industry stuff and everyday life because my fans like to see what goes on behind the scenes too. They wanna feel like you're the girl next door and not just one they're buying porn from, they can get that anywhere for free."My fans like to see what goes on behind the scenes. They want to feel like you're the girl next door, and not just one they're buying porn from; they can get that anywhere for free — porn actress Curious Clover
