OnlyFans is a subscription-based video and content platform based in London, founded in 2016 by Tim Stokely—its goal was to give creators the freedom to monetize their own content [turn0search31]. It is not free like platforms like XVideos or Pornhub—where subscribers pay through monthly subscriptions, tips, or pay-per-views, and OnlyFans passes 80% of the revenue to the creators [turn0search26].

As of 2023, OnlyFans had 3 million creators and 220 million registered users [turn0search26]. In 2023, the platform had revenue of $1.3 billion, a 20% increase from 2022 [turn0search26].

Although OnlyFans is primarily known for its adult content, it also supports other content—such as fitness, cooking, music, and comedy. In 2021, the company launched a Safe-for-Work streaming platform called OFTV, which brings more diversity [turn0search26].

2. What do people use OnlyFans for every day?

Many creators offer monthly subscriptions to send videos, photos, live streams, or private messages. Each creator can control their own content—this completeness and private view are the big attractions of OnlyFans [turn0search6].

b. Personal and direct interactions

On OnlyFans, subscribers can connect with content creators through direct messaging, pay-per-view messages, and live streams. These intimate connections are unmatched on other platforms—giving followers a real-life human connection [turn0search0].

c. Diverse Content

In addition to adult content, OnlyFans has a broad ‘creator ecosystem’ that includes fitness training, cooking, lifestyle videos, music, and comedy [turn0search1].

d. Freedom and Control

Creators make their own decisions—what to post, how to monetize, how much to charge—without any brand standards or advertising pressure. 80% of the revenue is their own (OnlyFans takes only 20%) [turn0search0].

e. COVID‑19: A platform for the times

OnlyFans’ popularity skyrocketed during the COVID‑19 pandemic. Many people came to OnlyFans to earn money economically or as an alternative to work. Some made $20,000 in their first month or significantly more after the lockdown [turn0news20], [turn0search26].

3. Why is OnlyFans so popular? – Main reasons (i) Direct personal contact

Platforms like Instagram or TikTok typically involve formal contact with followers, but on OnlyFans, subscribers get direct requests, messages, and live chats—a ‘pseudo-relationship’ feel [turn0reddit30].

“OnlyFans offers a closer, pseudo-relationship experience… the anticipation of upcoming events… more likely to receive a response…” —Reddit user comments [turn0reddit30]

(ii) Creative and financial independence

Content on OnlyFans is created with personal responsibility. “Subscription power”, “passive income”—the power of this closed financial structure draws many to the platform [turn0search1].

(iii) Diverse content and something for everyone

In addition to ‘adult content’, almost every niche is available on OnlyFans: fitness, cook, comedy, beauty. This diversity attracts a diverse audience [turn0search1], [turn0search3].

(iv) Commercial success

OnlyFans has paid out $20 billion to creators since 2016 [turn0news18].

The company is projected to generate $6.6 billion in revenue in 2023; the platform had revenue of $1.3B, pre-tax profit of $658M [turn0reddit27], [turn0search26].

(v) Celebrity and media attraction

Celebrity participation such as Bella Thorne, Blac Chyna—and others—has brought OnlyFans to the public. Bella Thorne earned $1M in just 24 hours, which has led to controversy over the content and platform [turn0search0], [turn0search28].

(vi) Manifesto and Platform Focus

OnlyFans CEO Ami Gan claims that OnlyFans is an inclusive platform that supports safe-for-work, has plans to expand internationally, and is strengthening its safety and moderation processes [turn0news21].

4. Challenges and criticisms (i) Full income for only a few KE-creators

According to Reddit or any analysis—many earn $1M+ annually, while only 0.01% do. Out of 3 million, only 16,000 earn $50K+ [turn0reddit33].

(ii) Social acceptance and content approval

OnlyFans is still known to many as an adult content platform; however, the rise of OFTV and other creators
