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

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.
Christ, if I wasn’t fat this could be a change of career for me.
It’s part of a deliberate push (amongst other things) in the media to normalise porn (I don’t call it ‘sex work’ as I think that’s another normalisation tactic) IMO. There are articles in magazines (including Teen Vogue) that are singing it to its praises and sharing with its readership how they too can take their clothes off and give themselves up to the online world of wank. There used to be a name for that. Pimp.
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.

Someone with better maths skills than me could probably work this out but I just googled who she is out of interest and see she charges 24.99$ a month for her page. Taking into consideration the exchange rate between the dollar and the pound and the cut the website takes (just googled = 20%), how many people would have to subscribe for her to make 800,000 (pounds, not dollars) per month? Like I said I am tit at maths so perhaps it’s doable but maybe she charges for private “extras”. Which there is nothing wrong with if that’s what you want to do, but it is reminiscent of the all-too familiar tale how young girls start off doing glamour shots or a bit of stripping and end up going down dark paths they might not have envisioned.
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!
about 53,500 - in £, less 20%, it’s about £14.95 per sub
It’s the modern day equivalent of the old sex telephone lines, but with the added fun of always having your “youthful” indiscretions out there on the internet for everyone (including family, future employers, neighbours, that witch you don’t get along with at the school gates) to Google for the rest of time.
People are making a lot of noise about the girl power aspect but I don’t think people (women) are making that much cash unless they already have some celebrity first - even then you can’t stop everything getting recorded by the punter and shared online without the “content creator” getting paid (like Kerry Katona) It will probably end up the same way as free porn, a few fellas will be making money out of their ever revolving cast.
Main upside: at least it’s physically safer to the degree that the girls don’t have to stroll along an abandoned industrial estate looking for “work”, I guess.

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
And as for girl power..... please.... there’s no girl power involved here

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?
I fully agree.
I think it's the delusion these men probably have of "being closer to X (than others)".
Haven't been on OF (and won't be), but I suspect the platform is small compared to other platforms (IG, Twitter etc) and creates for these sad sacks a false sense of closeness.
And I hate how so many things are sold as "power" only for people to support questionable things.
There's no "power" in being in sex trade. Let's not kid ourselves.
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
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
Its so easy for someone to save the content off OnlyFans and post it to free to view sites so there is no point in paying really, unless you really want to be able to have a bit of messaging going on, and there is no other way then you might. But the creator is still only going to engage for the money they gain from it.
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
Yeah it can be anything. But it is most known for porn.
There's a lot of articles that examined the stats, and like MLMs, the vast majority of the girls are making feck all. There's a huge difference between gathering free followers on Insta, and getting paid to be 'pretty'.
One of the pieces I read was from a former porn producer who used to promote girls back in the 80s and 90s. He said the only way to grow and maintain the audience, i.e. subscription, to a girl's site was to keep escalating the content in terms nudity and then sex acts. Otherwise there's no reason for the audience to continue subscribing - you have to keep them hooked with a little more each month. In his opinion, same principle applied to OnlyFans.
Downside to that 'business model' is that it gives each girl only a limited shelf-life, as you inevitably hit the point where there's nowhere (legally) left to go, audience interest is lost, and then numbers and income starts dropping off. Plus there's always a new face, and competition is fierce.
Maybe if you're lucky, or already famous, you'll make some decent coin at it, but the vast majority won't, and as has already been pointed out, those pics of you and the prize cucumber will be floating around the internet forever more.
From where I'm sitting, OnlyFans makes sense as a career choice if you think you're going to be 20yo forever, otherwise it's a terrible decision.

I am a vocal supporter of s*x workers, but I still have my doubts about only fans. Not only because of young girls ‘giving it a try’ and there being life long consequences, but also because of the techniques that are publicised for them to gain an audience; ie. a girl/woman messged my 16 year old son on Instagram, as if she was as interested in getting to know him... but really she had a long conversation with him just to - in the end - turn round and try to persuade him to join her Onlyfans. Luckily, as soon as she first messaged him he clocked her and thought that was what she was going to do, and showed me her message and profile when she first messaged him and said ‘I bet she just wants me to sign up to her OF’. He went along with the conversation just to see if we were right... and we were. Luring teenagers in to view your s*x work, and taking advantage of the feelings that arise in the parasocial relationships between an influencer and their audience seems a bit ‘sleazy’ to me.
