Summary
OnlyFans has transformed from an obscure platform into a $1.3 billion social media empire blending adult content with the creator economy.
Initially porn-free, the platform shifted to explicit content in 2017, driving its growth during the pandemic.
Under CEO Keily Blair, OnlyFans markets itself as offering “ethical” porn and mainstream content, but critics argue it profits from exploitative practices while downplaying its reliance on adult performers.
Owner Leonid Radvinsky, a reclusive billionaire, has earned over $1 billion in dividends.
Concerns about moderation, safety, and the platform’s true impact persist.
I don’t subscribe to anyone on OnlyFans but I’m a big supporter of the site. If someone wants to earn extra money via sex work, it seems like the safest way to do it
On the contrary many women get trafficked into doing onlyfans.
Didn’t that swine Tate force his victims to perform on OnlyFans, and beat them if they didn’t meet quotas?
You’re not wrong unfortunately… There’s definitely a lot more OF could be doing to prevent stuff like that
Agreed. And it all gets leaked anyway, so why pay if you’re not porn picky 😇
As the great Killer Mike says
Is being a (visual) artist sex work?
If the art is sexual in nature, yes, it’s usually considered a form of sex work.
I don’t understand this type of person. Being offended from calling a person working in the sex industry a sex worker is crazy work.
“Visual” artist is some fine mental gymnastics
Put in more traditional terms (that I don’t normally use, but I’m trying to keep it simple for the simple-minded), yes, camwhores are whores.
They don’t seem to consider showing your naked body to be work or the person doing so to be an artist. You’re just “art” for people to look at, to them.
“You don’t pay the Mona Lisa, so why should you pay to see Lisa moan?”
Who said I was offended?
Is cereal soup?
Technically, yes, as long as you have your cereal with milk. It’s a breakfast soup!
Depends. Could cereal be a stew? Are soups and stews in the same umbrella?
What if I top my ice cream with golden grahams and let the ice cream melt. Will it turn into cereal soup?
I would say stews are a type of soup. I’d say it’s a soup but not a stew.
Indeed there are cold stews.
Great, now this is going to keep me up at night.
