Wilson’s Perspective on Sharing Content and Maintaining Authenticity
Wilson explained why she chose Passes, appreciating its focus on athletes and its policy against nudity, which aligns with her approach to content creation. Although she decided against offering explicit material, she enjoys sharing confident and engaging posts she refers to as the “thirsty content” that her social media followers often expect.
Well, I loved that Passes has a lot of athletes. And doesn’t allow nudity. So, I knew I was going to kind of cut out a lot of content that people might expect, that I wasn’t going to offer. But with that being said, I still love being sexy. And so… I’d like to say in Passes, I can post some of the ‘thirsty content’ you would call on social media. For people who… I know that’s what they want.
