So aside from camwhores doing their makeup for youtube and taking Instagram selfies, what's the use of a ring light?
Opinions?

Take the diffuser off and use the bare LEDs from up close while filming a slanty-eyed hooker giving your middling dick a mechanical blowjob. Success guaranteed.

beauty pictures, practical for when you have little space or you want to take pictures up close, also "draws" a circular reflex in the model's eyes that's usually considered good-looking

It's a light. It can illuminate things for you.
Most ring lights relatively suck for photography because they're not the "powerful strobe" type of light that is usually more useful for photography.
If you do have a powerful diffuse light source in ring shape, it can be used for a lot of shots, same as with most such lights.

No it doesn't.
It looks hawt.
If I can't masturbate to ringlight porn, does that make me a snob?

Porn is overproduced nowadays, especially with tones of make-up and studio lighting. Amateur is there for a reason.

Ring lights are the biggest newbie trap ever. they're fucking awful. And the catchlights look jarring and uncanny..
Ringlights look awful. And a lot of people use them for VLogging, which is arguably its worst use.

Camera-Specific Properties: Photographer Mason Aldridge Image-Specific Properties:
Ringlights have a place, but only for fairly specific shots or looks that you are actively trying to go for. They produce an odd look because the light is directly on the subject, as if the viewer is the source, and causes a lack of shadows that you are accustomed to seeing when you look at a subject.
It's pretty much down to taste, but I'd say that for video it just looks plain weird.
