OnlyFans

Christ, if I wasn’t fat this could be a change of career for me.

I hear you!
I was born in the wrong era (too old now) and damn my parents for raising me with morals and respect for myself! I work very hard and don’t have much to show for it, and these types are living the life of Riley conning pervs in basements with doctored pics!

 

[Swipeupyouguys]

Admire Me is a better platform.

My friend has made 5 figures in about a year on it.

I’d definitely give it a bash if I had the confidence!

It doesn’t need to be full nude and you don’t need to show your face.

Taking notes...

 

[Renegadedancer]

Well that sucks.

Not from October , no sucking allowed !

Only fans was celebrated on several radio stations and channels as a good news story with people making serious money. That's pretty bad reporting imo, feels like a pr read from only fans.

Yes the top 1% make good money, but they account for 90% of all money made (im guessing but it's in that vein). The vast majority make next to no money and have released content into the world that could come back to haunt them for the rest of their lives.

Christ, who'd pay to see them? Yuck!

'I quit the legal profession after I made it big on OnlyFans'

Jazmen Jafar is now one of the most-subscribed creators on the site

metro.co.uk

shouldn’t they be labelling these articles as ads?

 

[emm]

So is it only nude photos or porn ? Are girls/blokes wanking ? I also not sure I see the point of it. Do they do live shows ?

from what I understand people can literally upload anything? I have heard of people doing like online tutorials of cooking etc

 

[Calabria]

there’s a YouTuber called Nina Unrated and she said the other day that Trisha Paytas used her referral link to join Only Fans which meant Nina was getting 5% of whatever Trisha earned in a month.

Nina was earning $16,000 a MONTH off Trisha’s 5%. I can’t even do the maths of what Trisha was earning!

It seems to be everywhere and a lot of girls with any kind of social media following seem to be on it. I do think there is a dark side to it, i watched a BBC3 documentary and its not all 6 figure salaries, a lot of vulnerable girls are feeling pressured to get even more explicit and x rated in order to make some much needed cash.

It's not something I could ever do personally, and whilst I'm not anti-sex work, I think the lines are blurry and I'm not sure if I whole support some aspects of the industry as I think its ripe for exploitation and we're being sold a narrative about OF that isn't necessarily the case for everyone. And whilst I fully support the right for all women to have the right to do with their bodies as they wish, OF stays on the internet forever and young girls who get themselves wrapped up in this and then try to get careers in the future may struggle (whether thats right or wrong), we still live in a deeply patriarchal society and being a sex worker still has negative connotations.

Just my 2 cents anyway...

I think you're spot on. Just because not everyone is being exploited doesn't mean lots aren't. Also, I've read a lot of girls saying they're going on due to losing income because of covid, which doesn't suggest it's exactly first choice of career.

Yeah it can be anything. But it is most known for porn.

 

[Lala66]

Ok so iv been noticing a lot of Instagram thots/influencers & reality tv stars plugging there only fans accounts, what’s the deal with only fans is it similar to adult work? Where they sell sleazy pics?

 

[Yel]

I'm not gonna say "get a real job", but "get an alternative job" is a valid riposte I think.

I'm always suprised at the amount of people who chose an insecure gig then proceed to put all their eggs in one basket then bemoan when something affects it.

Just like the youtube "adpocalypse" people are complaining and equating it to a permie job and saying it's the same as an employer cutting your pay overnight. If you want a regular guaranted income you need to get a job with a contract.

It's all this wanting their cake and eating it too I can't get onboard with. I say this as a freelancer myself.

I wonder if only fans type stuff has had its peak? Apparently most of the money is made by a few famous / infamous people at the top and the rest don't make much. Maybe with so much competition now those at the top now won't be able to get those to transfer to a new platform?

 

[Sibz]

If the idea of being paid to strip off for a sad old perv while he stands there whacking one out disgusts you in real life, then don't do it online. It's no more dignified really! It is safer to be behind a screen than in person I guess, but it's still the same dirty sods looking at you no thanks

 

[ElChanguito]

The woman I know of who lives near me and has done OF for a couple of years now, she always said that she would never do escorting. But I’ve just had a sneaky look at her Adult Work profile and she is now taking in calls at her family home!! Her poor son and daughter. I despair, I really do. This is the path OnlyFans puts these women on.

 

[NightCircus]

I can’t get my head around men pay to subscribe to these things (it’s mainly men) when you can see pictures and videos of naked woman all over the Internet for free. I don’t get it

Agreed. That's my main thought on it as well. How have people gone back to being willing to pay for porn when it's just not remotely neccessary these days?

 

[Truth2010]

It’s a bit short sighted. Once a photo is out there on the internet, you can’t get it back. If you regret your decision to make a profile, you’re screwed.

It would take ages to build a following and get your name out there- imagine local idiots and people you went to school with knowing that you did only fans for the sake of 3 likes lol.
I’m glad women are taking charge of their bodies and having autonomy over it is a beautiful, empowering thing, just wish people made more informed choices.

 

[CrackingOwlSanctuary]

I feel like with Onlyfans earnings it's like gamblers: they only tell you about their big scores.

I think you're spot on. Just because not everyone is being exploited doesn't mean lots aren't. Also, I've read a lot of girls saying they're going on due to losing income because of covid, which doesn't suggest it's exactly first choice of career.

yeh along with Zoom and Amazon I bet onlyfans is one of the few industries thriving in Covid, I think for celebrities who can just easily make an income it is one thing, but I imagine a lot of the people on it are just very young and unaware of possible consequences of their actions. Initially I thought this was a lot better than, say a regular porn site as they are in control of their income etc, but I've also heard about the videos being leaked onto porn sites, which basically means they would start losing income and these exploitative porn sites are gaining

I am.

Not all it's cracked up to be. I was top 15% and wasn't hitting more than 800 quid a month so not sure where some people get their figures.

that's so interesting, it reminds me of the whole MLM scheme which seems to be ever more popular, especially now, with some people claiming they earn millions and most people earning almost nothing/losing money

 

[NeverEnough]

Yes.

Gaining financially and having body autonomy and the ultimate control over something men have and continue to forcibly take from women is a power move and progressive, it just feels uncomfortable because slut shaming is ingrained into all of us from an early age.

We’ve got a long way to go but this is a small step to taking our power back from men, especially in relation to our bodies and sex. Most people don’t think twice about the men running casting couches and bang buses driving about in Lamborghinis funded by the exploitation of women, but a girl buys her own home selling pictures of herself online and people seem to lose their minds. Power to her.

Interesting. But does body autonomy only apply to women with the right genetics to look beautiful scantily clad on stills and videos? (Inserted sex toys optional). And be beautiful enough for enough men to want to masturbate whilst watching them. (Let’s not be shy here, what do you think her “fans” are doing?).

Beautiful women making money off men isn’t new. It’s just what you call them that has changed over the years. Harem members, courtesans, Geisha, concubines, debutantes, free love girls, glamour models, camgirls, or now Onlyfans models.

Guess empowerment for the plump frumpy girls is liposuction, diet pills, lip fillers, hundreds of quids worth of make-up, photoshop, and enough lube to get the extra large dildo right up there.

Welcome to progress….
