What’s a leak?

cheap people wanting content for free or prefer paying a dude who steals content instead of the actual content creator.

Ahhhh...sounds like the dude who goes into a cinema with a camcorder from back in the old days

Everyone has their own choice.

I prefer the adrenaline of the first meeting.

And after a meeting with an escort, seeing her again on OF is not for me, I prefer the live action too much.

If only they paid some dude.... They don't want to pay anything. It's sad that someone wouldn't want to compensate someone for the work they do.

Did you try using one of those browser plugins to download the content ? There are plenty that were removed from the Google Store due to them stealing the OF credentials.

You may want to make sure any accounts using that email and/or same password be changed ASAP.

Interesting article on the economics of Onlyfans:

It’s the Uber-isation of wanking; the logical conclusion to markets eating the world. Instead of monetising a spare room or a Prius you monetise your selfies.

OnlyFans have benefited massively from the coronavirus crisis. Search activity has doubled since the lockdown, and according to Alexa, their traffic has surged.

Even before the pandemic they were growing rapidly. They paid £641k corporation tax in 2018, which at an effective tax rate of 15% implies 2018 revenues of around £4m, or $5.5m. Today in 2020, their top users alone make this much money through their site.

With a couple of assumptions, it’s easy to estimate their yearly revenue today. And oh god is it big.

In 2019, they had over 60,000 content creators and 7m registered users. Extrapolating from the Google growth trends, it’s safe to say they have at least 10m users today. I calculated the average revenue per creator per month (about $250) and the average subscription fee (about $8.7) from my scraped data. Applying the 20% commission and assuming only half the users and creators are active, we end up with a lower bound of $90m, and an upper bound of $104m.

That’s an annual growth rate of between 304% and 334%. Absolute nuts.

The revenue of content creators follows a classic power law distribution. The top accounts make something like $100,000 a month (these aren’t in my sample). The median account makes $180 a month.

The top 1% of accounts make 33% of all the money. The top 10% of accounts make 73% of all the money. This isn’t the 80:20 rule; it’s the 80:14 rule.

The standard way to measure inequality of an economy is with a Gini Index. An index of 0 implies a communist utopia, a value of 1 implies a single greedy capitalist owns all the wealth. The Gini index of OnlyFans is 0.83. The most unequal society in the world, South Africa, has a Gini index of 0.68. OnlyFans is less equal than an ex-apartheid state.

OnlyFans is so unequal because chancers make accounts with zero fans, while big Instagram stars take their following with them. A large proportion of accounts have no fans at all, and the lion’s share of fans are shared by the top accounts.

If more girls are using OnlyFans these days, does that mean they're more open to making explicit content?

Are there any providers ok with helping me make a porn these days? We'd both show our faces or we'd both be masked.

I don't think so, I think given the resurgence of the pandemic, there are fewer clients, so the girls are putting their OnlyFans back on, just to make money.

OnlyFans: quick, easy money?

This is a question I ask myself.

Definitely not easy money. If you look at the average income on there, most creators make less than 200$ a month and are still expected to put content there every day. It sometimes take me hours to edit one video that I then sell for 10$ for example. Let's say I sell it 10-15 times, then I make 150$ on it. But I most likely spent 10h preparing it and such, which give me 15$/h. I find online work more demanding than in-person work, as you sometimes work for 0$. It is a good side hustle for me, but I wouldn't make the switch in a thousand years. And before you guys start posting about the celebrities that make millions on there, please know they are the exception and that most creators don't have that kind of following to begin with. Also, why do we always have to get back to ''easy money''?

^^^^^[
I think as with everything the ladies that put in a lot of effort and time and of course also are above average in looks will do well.
I don’t think there is any quick or easy money, luckily for some during this covid situation it is a lifeline for them and I am sure they are putting in a lot of effort to be able to survive as competition must have increased but luckily for them demand probably has also.

Personally I am not into pornography at all so only fans is of no interest to me.
I think that photograph of you in that red dress tops pornography stuff, I prefer to spend to be with someone in the flesh not on videos and photographs.

I prefer the real thing, I have subscribed to 2 only, 1 of which is to support a lady I like and see as often as I can. The other I never seen but was curious. I like the pics and vids, but aint nothin like the real thing.
So for me as far as new onlyfans content creators, not really interested. I can see how some may like to buy the subscription and get to see a little more about the lady before they make a appointment.

I was reluctant at first, just didn't really see the appeal to it. There's so much porn freely available and also prefer in-person, but...

I've subscribed to many over the last few months. As someone that enjoys amateur porn I really like the idea of seeing x-rated content from real "girls next door" especially during this covid period (its really changed my habits in how I consume porn). I really enjoy the selfie "on the fly" style recording. Its amazing what the quality of smartphones + great lighting can achieve. A sexy window into a girls intimacy is so fucking hot. Especially when you may know her Holly crap there is amazing content there and I'm glad performers have a platform which allows them to monitize their efforts.

I wish there was a way to know what level of content is available before subscribing. A girl that shows no nudity can really be dissapointing and it should be clear beforehand. The same with girls that have really short clips (<10 seconds) or worst that only sell custom vids and their subscription content are just ads. Some have taken the time to fully describe what they do/offer and I appreciate it greatly.

Some have really gone over the top in creating quality content using top of the line gear $$$. Gotta respect the comitment. Its all hard work and some are reaping from their work. Best equipment however does not mean good watchable content and I think many miss that mark. Many don't speak and its strange to me its as if they have nothing to say...also many are just glorified instagram accounts with average to low content quality - of course they decide what they want to offer and all that. But as a porn consumer (and everything that goes with it), I can tell when a girl can't or won't connect to what the viewer such as myself wants to see. Lot's of IG princess ego is to me very unatractive. Also had a case where I had to chargeback and Onlyfans reacted swiftly. I've read that some girls are upset by how they are debited for chargebacks, there should be a better dispute process in place but I think that would fuck shit up big time, especially with the more "sleezy" performers that are just trying to go for a cash grab - but at 3-20$ monthly nobody is going to fuss but still sucks because you just don't know if you'll like it. I'd like to say there's some kind of excitement for the risk... but I think its either YAY or @%^$#.

I'm curious to see how these sites affect the porn industry in the long run. Are they a stepping stone to commercial porn? Will the big producers run out of talent ? How much regret will stem from it in the next few years? How's MYM ?

-Stay safe all

Can someone explain to me what Onlyfans is all about? Is it a place for gilrs to sell views of themselves and uses by SPs and Sugar Babies to promote themselves?

Its a marketplace for people to generate revenues for the content they post. Not all is erotic (but much of it is). People aren't allowed to post anything related to sex work to their profile and can risk being banned if they do...

Revenues are generated by monthly subscriptions and custom/premium content which can be bought via tips (now capped between 50$-100$). Performers are responsible of their own marketing and tackling their own takedown notices if their content gets distributed without their consent.

I also find that OF is a way to "shop local", lol. Honestly, I mostly purchase Quebec/Montreal content, and occasionally RoC.

Some of the girls on onlyfans have "associates" (paid assistants/BF/gf) answer Dm's instead of them answering themselves. This happened to me recently with a relatively famous Porn Star. I asked in the dm's if she responded to them herself, which she responded yes. Then immediately tried to sell me a custom vid for $100 a minute but wanted the money upfront. She said she needed it immediately but the vid would be shot a later date (tba) when she had camera and crew available. Come to find out it was all a lie. I was never dealing with the REAL porn star at all. I did some investigating and found she had over 8000 onlyfans members. My dms were responded to in less than 10 mins each time. Nights that she was taking part in virtual award shows, shooting vids etc. If it smells fishy...it probably is, lol. Buyer beware

^^^^ I have seen ads of unlimited texting for an extremely high fee, very good chance she has assistance.
