Onlyfans

[Payyourwaymate]

We all know onlyfans seems the doom to guys that are not simps and punters like automation and AI is to us all  .

Here's two videos on those wondering how onlyfans works (How the girls interact with the platform) and how much these girls are making, very transparent.

If this keeps going on though these simps are going to mess it up for all men  .

[Golden Hind]

Most entertainment industries seem to have moved into a more subscription model with content more personalised so makes sense porn is now in this route. I also think less people are having sex these days, not sure on the stats, more an impression I get from reading online, most young guys struggle with online dating and older guys in sexless marriages, they want to get their kicks and some sort of connection, so they start to simp these girls online. Maybe makes sense to them to pay £30 a month to subscribe to a handful of onlyfan girls to get that. Coronavirus has probably accelerated this trend, I sometimes follow a personal finance forum, I've read a few posts of girls on there who were making small side income on it to now £5k+ a month since lock down and asking for tax advice.

It's not good for punters but realistically will have most impact on the top end of the market, girls with twitter/Instagram following as they can convert this to good income stream on onlyfans rather than fuck guys, won't impact the average hooker who would struggle to compete on the platform.

At least that's all my theory.

[DrGFreeman]

I have subscribed to girls onlyfans a couple of times
(for those who dont know onlyfans its an app where you subscribe to a girls feed to see her photos or videos)
there is supposed to be a trend where girls are selling porn direct to consumers, rather than through a studio

creators have been able to sell photos and videos through AW for 15 years, but I agree AW can feel a bit seedy
cam sites also allow you to tip models or buy their videos/photosets
big porn stars have their own websites and fan clubs
so I wonder if really onlyfans is something new, or something that was happening anyway but optimised for phones rather than PCs

[Chorley]

I subscribed to a couple of Onlyfans accounts out of curiosity. What a pile of shite! It's like a virtual Latina brothel. If you want anything half decent...... Eeees estra baby.  INeedless to say I didnt renew beyond the initial subscription.
Anyone that subscribes to them for the long-term is a mug and needs to get a life IMHO.

Patreon is very similar to Onlyfans, but a lot of dubious quality content out there so you have to choose careful.  A number of the girls "advertise" or promote themselves on YouTube.

[hampshirehog]

And you get the likes of Belle Delphine selling her content (and bathwater) on onlyfans, to horny 15 year olds jacking off in their bedrooms.

[Mr Sinister]

I've seen loads of leaked content and I'm not impressed by a lot of these girls that's guys simp over. Some girls look bored while doing it. Tik tok is low key soft porn if a girl has big tits or a big ass they parade it hard while doing their stupid dances also for girls to seek attention over, so many simps give it to them and donate.

I'd rather just date a civvy or fuck a wg straight.

Guys I know we all have our kinks but please stop simping.

I had to look up 'simping' :

It’s the type of person who, instead of trying to attract the opposite sex through being attractive and interesting, is more sycophantic and fawning.
also Sucker Idolizing Mediocre Pussy

onlyfans is not fawning or begging for attention from the girl

[rickyponting]

I wouldnt pay a penny for these syncophantic little millennial sluts ,and anyone that does,well each to their own i suppose.

[Cactus]

Lots of AW escorts use it and generally a subscription to their only fans is cheaper than a view of their private gallery, plus it’s also got vids, plus you get access for a month. If it’s under a fiver then it generally offers good value.

However, there are also some profiles of AW girls that are utter shite.

The website is absolutely crap on a phone, glitchy and often crashes when watching Videos. The search function is also absolutely dreadful, to the point it’s actually unusable. Escorts generally advertise on twitter if they have an OF account, that’s the better way to search.

I don’t tip, or buy anything out with the standard, just use it as an alternative to AW PG/vids.

[Ashleydowns_milf]

It’s decimated the PORN industry in the U.K. I don’t know of hardly any companies shooting here much now. The clever porn ladies like Georgie Lyall did a few scenes from Brazzers then opened only fans and released their first anal on the only fans sight. Creating a massive surge to their sights.

Lots of escorts I know are earning so much money on only fans they have stopped escorting or put their rates super high. Ava Grace for example now £500 an hour to escort.

If you believe e-thots who are obviously just trying to promote their shit as usual (YouTube videos? Seriously, that's your source?) then I've got a bridge I'd like to sell you. 

Also, automation and AI is the future whether we like it or not ... the question is how we adapt to it in the end. 

[Mr Sinister]

onlyfans is not fawning or begging for attention from the girl

You're paying for her attention which is still simping, why pay for such shit when there's free porn everywhere?

As long as you can attract or pay for pussy in the flesh why waste your money on it?

[DrGFreeman]

I didn't come here to promote onlyfans - only to comment, as I had subscribed to girls feeds twice

I think onlyfans are positioning themselves as a paid-for extension of social media
if you follow a girl on insta or snapchat or twitter, you may also go onto onlyfans for explicit content
i think the difference is supposed to be that on onlyfans you get to interact with the creator and what they are selling is more personalised or intimate

onlyfans is currently a thing, so there is buzz about it
I'd be surprised if it changes escorting, as cam work has been around for decades and yet girls still escort
escorts who also do porn have always been expensive

you need for forget this 'simping' rubbish - were not on tiktok

I haven't paid for a porn site in years
I have twice paid for onlyfans, I also occasionally do cams and phonesex
the difference from pornhub is the interaction with the girl

Yes, they are girls who have started to earn 7 figures a year
 
I think onlyfans works for established sex workers who have a following on social media. 
 
You need to have a fan base to market your clips to. So for some new girls, they’ll still have to do the traditional porn grind, at least until they build up enough fans to do it on their own.
 

[Mr Sinister]

Nah its all simping, not trying to embroil an argument with you. From my point of view this is what it is, I understand certain men have to go down that path due to age, poor health, physicality etc.

Yes I thought the idea of copying fake taxi and incorporating it into only fans was genius on her part. And good luck to any girls earning 20k a month from posting pics and videos. They look like they were having good fun shooting it as well.

[DrGFreeman]

so I follow this girl on chaturbate and IG :
External Link/Members Only

she must make 2-3k in USD every time she's online
her biggest single tip was $22k
she must be making incredible money, like 500k per year

but this is on a cam site   (she has an onlyfans as well of course)
my point is that girls are making lots of money selling their porn direct to consumers on a variety of platforms and have been for years
I just dont get whats special or new about onlyfans

That word has lost it's meaning, my friend was called a simp because he said he would do anything for his girlfriend.

It's funny seeing some punters call others that pay for onlyfans/porn simps when they themselves are paying for sex.

Punters aren't attracting women using theirs looks or personality, they're paying for it, paying for something millions of women give up for free.

I don't pay for onlyfans/camming but I'm not judging anyone, you can spend your money how you like, nothing wrong with it.

I wouldn't criticise anyone who chooses to pay for onlyfans or camming, each to their own. However there's a world of difference in paying to watch someone on a screen do something that is available all over the net for free and paying to have sex with a fit young woman who you could never pull in a million years. There just isn't any comparison between the two.

Also, automation and AI is the future whether we like it or not ... the question is how we adapt to it in the end. 

Believe me, I thought the same as you that it was bullshit.... but I have seen enough girls put evidence of earnings figures and stats that I really believe them now (As long as they have a large enough social following it really is possible, you only need 500+ people if you have a 5 figure IG account at at least $10 and you will clear 5K a month minimum and that is not including the money made through messages). The girl in the first video link was not an onlyfans girl (The one asking the questions). She was a stripper and had a video where she said, $5000 was a "slow month for her" before she started making money off youtube and is now hoping to become a landlord flush with cash  .

Onlyfans really is a gold rush. I am interested and concerned at the same time where this phenomena will lead to.

[Payyourwaymate]

I'll add more sources of income where I can see some.

This one hopped on Onlyfans early though I think.

Kaya explained: "I set-up my OnlyFans account on a bit of whim. I just thought I'd give it a go - I never thought it would change my life in the way it has.

"In my first year I made £255,000 and now I earn about £30,000 every month - I'm in the top one percent of OnlyFans earners in the world."

"A student has quit her job after earning £15,000 in just two weeks by selling nude photographs of herself online.

Lenny Holmes, 21, from Leeds, signed up to photo-sharing website Onlyfans just a fortnight ago, with 1,500 subscribers paying her £10 a month each to share naked pictures via the site."

"'I was already posting lingerie photos on Twitter and people were telling me I could make so much money.

'One of my friends was making £3k per week and those numbers are just ridiculous.

'Because I already had a following online, I was able to charge £14.99 per month for subscription whereas some girls have to start lower.

'It was so appealing hearing how much money my friends were making and I find it so empowering and enjoyable.

'I thought older men would be rude and demanding but they are really polite and respectful."

Paige earns £15,000 to £20,000 a month uploading sexy videos and pictures to OnlyFans. It's because of high earners like her that, during lockdown, a time in which many are newly low on money, lots of us have had the thought: 'Might start selling photos of my feet online.'

Given that Paige has over two years of experience on the platform, I ask if she has any advice for those starting out. "You're honestly working 24/7," she says. "You're working, like, seven jobs at once. You're a photographer, lighting coordinator, set designer, editor, admin assistant, promoter, accountant. Sometimes you might forget to sleep. Sometimes you might forget to eat."

"Tommy Rose, who makes about £1,200 a month on OnlyFans, has noticed a change in the sort of content her fans are looking for since the lockdown was put in place. "A lot of consumers genuinely just want to talk," she says. "A lot of us are now stuck indoors alone with very little communication, and the general idea of intimacy is so close yet so far. Being able to just sext with someone or have them send you nudes in a girlfriend-experience type way has definitely rocketed for me."

I ask Tommy if she has any advice for beginners. "There is no going back," she says. "Sex work lasts forever, and I think a lot of people don't realise that it can impact their other jobs when going back to work, your future, and how your family and friends see you. There is so much stigma around the sex worker community, and I'm glad it's finally getting its 'break', as it were, but people need to consider that there are consequences for actions if people aren't supportive, and you need to be able to deal with that mentally before embarking on this."

New workers intel

"James: Like most people, our financial situation was deteriorating, so we started it as a way of keeping ourselves afloat. I work freelance as a dancer, so a lot of the work I had planned has been cancelled.
Ethan: I was working at a gym, but now, because of the pandemic, I've been furloughed, so 80 percent of my former wages have to cover all of our costs – and we live in London, so life is quite expensive.

How's it been going so far?
James: Since we started the account in mid-April we've got over 300 paying subscribers, and they pay $9.99 (£8.03) a month to see our content. We started the account on the 27th of March, and in four days we made $1,500 (£1,205). From mid-April to now we made another $1,000 (£803). That's just what we get after OnlyFans takes a commission of 20 percent. All together we've made nearly $3,000 (£2,411) in less than three weeks.
Ethan: I was on a decent wage before at the gym, but if you consider the hours I was working before I'm definitely earning more than what I would in my normal job.
James: You can do a lot less for the same pay. It's the easiest money I've ever made."

Someone on hard times with onlyfans

Since reopening your account, have you noticed a difference in what it's like making a living from OnlyFans?
It's got harder, actually. People have a lot more time on their hands, so I find that I'm getting badgered more. I get messages like, "When are you going to be uploading more content? Are you going to post videos?" I've messaged a couple of old subscribers asking if they want to go onto my account again, and they've asked if they can see some free content to get an idea of what they're paying for, or just said they can't afford it. Everyone's so skint at the minute, it's difficult. I've found, though, that the fans I have this time around are a lot more loyal and supportive.

What have you been doing to try and get more subscribers?
I'm putting on a lot more promotions. I never used to do that before, and I've dropped the price for the next ten members that sign up, and things like that.

How much money are you making on OnlyFans at the minute?
Last month I made about $250 (£201). When I had an account last time I was earning about double that, so it's quite a substantial cut.

These are excerpts from the article. Quite varied incomes to be honest.

"The biggest celebrity on the site is WA’s Jem Wolfie. The 28-year-old has 2.5 million Instagram followers.

But her real success is a growing stable of viewers on OnlyFans willing to pay a monthly fee to watch her life play out.

“Jem currently has the highest number of fans, with around 10,000 fans paying $15 per month to view her content,” OnlyFans founder and chief executive Tim Stokely said.

“Because the content is exclusive compared to that on her Instagram, Jem has earned over $2 million since joining in August.”

"The UK-based site, allows sex workers, pornstars, influencers and ordinary members of the public to share pictures and videos directly with subscribers. The company says it has 44 million users worldwide.

OnlyFans already takes 20% in commission and fees from performers' earnings.

The potential for huge income has encouraged some people to leave their jobs to become full-time content creators, with some performers claiming they can make up to £30,000 per month. The company says that its official figures show that higher earners on the platform can make $250-500k a month."

This one is hidden behind a paywall but just before it cuts it states enough info that it says she makes between 19k-22k a month and "It has completely and utterly changed my life... The money is incredible..."

Surely this is enough intel for anyone who still doubts that this Onlyfans phenomena where girls are making serious £££££ is not a joke?

 

[sparkus]

It's bad news in terms of WGs with particular assets e.g. massive chebs or hewge butts who can rake it on there and thus give up escorting.  Their choice obviously but it's going to leave punters with either run of the mill WGs or ones with assets who'd not pass muster on there.

I met and reviewed a cammer recently who was offering a rare escorting appointment, she said she prefers camming and will probably only offer up escorting appointments to her regulars on cam in future.  So onlyfans may end up a similar kind of funnel for punters.

[sparkus]

Let’s be blunt about this, you have to be some kind of sad cunt to keep paying money for this.

I suppose a lot of blokes will see it as 'porn +' and it not coming with the stigma of sex buying.  Plus the delusion they have some kind of 'connection' with the content creator, like those creepy Japanese middle aged male fans who stand in line for an big bucks autograph from their favourite teen photo model at meet and greets.

One of the motivations of men who cam is that they don't have to perform themselves or be 'judged' on that, this seems the same.

There's gonna be some children who find the inheritance cupboard bare in the future thanks to this idiocy.

[NightKid]

Onlyfans really is a gold rush. I am interested and concerned at the same time where this phenomena will lead to.

It's not a gold rush, it's a bubble - just like the surge with Bitcoin a few years back. In this case, what's fuelling said surge is primarily people having spare time on their hands and not many other options whilst isolating at home (I don't think much porn is being shot atm) hence the demand shift and why some are resorting to stuff like this.

Therefore, as it is with trends, it'll die down again once things go back to normal.

Yeah this is it as already seen recently wg with assets are moving onto onlyfans which is a shame for punters, cannot begrudge the girl for wanting to make money elsewhere.

The only thing is guys chucking money at subscriptions, hoping they could meet the girl not knowing she used to escorts and no longer does it. Distorts the market.

Not every girl is going to be successful, not easy to break into the top earner bracket unless you have followers and maybe guys will wake up to not paying for this.

It's for others to choose how they spend their money, not you.

A girl I've seen a couple of times (and had a great time with - and yes, I was fucking her hard  ) has been unavailable to me for the past three months. So yes, I signed up to her Onlyfans for a month and yes, I jacked off to it. Big deal.

I'm seeing her in two weeks' time, when I will enjoy smashing her back doors in again (she likes it that way too).

WTF is a 'simp' anyway?

[David1970]

I suppose they should call it Onlyfools as only a fool would spend money on that shit.

You seem to have a downer on it?

For me personally, I saw a WG a couple of times and had a hot time doing it. I've saved £hundreds over the last 3mths with not seeing her or anyone else, so for me, having a month's access to an interactive service where I could influence the content suited me just fine. It filled a gap, cheaply.

I should imagine some Onlyfans girls are crap, just like there are some crap WGs who give a shit service.

But to just label guys who sign up to look as simps is wide of the mark, and also somewhat offensive IMO.

Say's who? You're painting this false narrative that guys are paying for onlyfans because they want to meet the girls. It's porn, just porn. Let's say Riley Ried is your fav pornstar, you can just pay for her onlyfans and get custom content, it works out much cheaper than a regular sub on a porn site.

To me it sounds like you're upset that girls have found yet another way to make money without having to fuck.

[rhub9]

Yes, I agree with you there. Yes, there is a chance it may die down once things eventually go back to normal. It will be interesting to see what happens .Will all these women that have managed to rake it in need an army of financial advisers and accountants or will they blow it all?  Time will tell on that one.
