You guys having issues with me posting ads is funny to me - because I don't have to post images of myself at ALL on the internet. But I do. You're viewing that shit for free. So what's it to you if it's an ad or not? It's a pic of my face either way, which is what you want, isn't it?? I get that you'd prob want a different kind of images, but this is what I'm choosing to put out there as a part of my online career, so. Accept that or move along.
Can't tell if this is arrogance or ignorance.
Your face, whilst appealing, isn't the primary appeal of your social media, it's the personality and lifestyle that is.
The point isn't that you're posting the occasional ad, that would be silly. It's when you treat your entire fan base as a commodity by repeatedly posting nothing BUT ads. At least consider diluting the content in between.
Don't mistake criticism for hate.

Hi. Some of you may be aware I monitor this forum because of an issue I've had with a stalker who's caused some issues for me over the years. It's weird because I see you all weighing-in on my life, work, and physical appearance in a way that suggests I should just accept that as part of being a public figure. Idk - I suppose there's truth to that, but live streaming has made me a little bolder so I feel compelled to chime-in every so often. AMA.
Sorry to hear you've had to deal with someone like that that has come from this forum.
For an INFJ that's always in control of things, I'm sure it's weird because there's a community on the internet that's about you that you can't control unlike Discord/twitter/insta etc.

Lastly, I know I don't share a lot of cleavage etc, lol. Being sexualised is a weird thing I don't think I'll ever be comfortable with and I have a love/hate relationship with my body as a result. It's hard to explain and something I don't expect any of you will ever understand. But there are so many other more beautiful women out there who willingly share more of themselves - so the fact that this forum even exists is weird. But whatever.
You find it weird that a forum exists to discuss public figures like yourself? Sure the odd poster can be cringy and excessive and that's unfortunate. But for the most part we're all just regular people, not stalkers.
You don't need to show cleavage, just being attractive is the benchmark to being sexualised. Cleavage just amplifies it, and there's no point in denying women are conscious of what cleavage does for men. And if you don't want to show any, I don't think anyone here actually cares (except for the above mentioned occasional cringe poster).

We men like to look.
It's as simple as that. And for me, the longevity of her stay on a TV series has made her a very common and "familiar' image. I actually miss that consistency. So yeah, Stephanie, with all the respect in the world, I am wanting to view whatever you put into the industry. Which is 95 percent the reason I am here.
Agree with all of this.
