What is only fans?

OnlyFans is a content subscription service where content creators can earn money from users who subscribe to their content ("fans"). It's particularly popular in the adult entertainment industry, but also hosts creators in other genres, such as fitness, music, and cooking.

Key features and aspects:

  • Subscription-Based Model: Creators set a monthly subscription price, and fans pay this fee to access their content.
  • Content Types: Content can include photos, videos, live streams, and direct messaging.
  • Creator Control: Creators have significant control over the content they produce and the price they charge.
  • Age Verification: OnlyFans has age verification processes in place for both creators and subscribers.
  • Payment Structure: OnlyFans takes a percentage of creators' earnings as commission.
  • Controversies: It has faced various controversies regarding content moderation, payment policies, and the platform's relationship with sex workers.
  • Privacy Considerations: Privacy is a significant concern, as content can potentially be leaked or shared without consent. The platform has privacy settings, but they are not foolproof.
  • Financial Aspects: Earning potential varies widely, and creators need to manage their finances, including taxes, effectively.
