    Seize the day. Only Fans is booming during lockdown. I would make hay while the sun shines.

    Jasus they'll be after you with pitch forks now saying that you are trying to intice this poster to OF. :)

    I think some of the other posters here are a little green eyed that someone could be making a few pound in a fairly unconventional manner

    If I was biologically gifted & a female I'd probably be trying to make a few pound too on OF but I'm not so I have to go down the conventional route ;)

    No no, I have been informed no one could possibly be jealous of someone in the sex industry by YellowLead .

    You are mixing up posters :) show me the post where i said this? I said I am not jealous. I said more power to you.

    I think a different poster might have said that nobody would be? I’m not sure or arsed to go back looking though.

    Not believing that a nurse during a pandemic is making thousands a month on the side... is not the same as jealousy.

    Disbelieving, jealousy - two different things.

    Some people prefer to keep their bits private for themselves and partners. Others are happy to get paid to get their bits out - and if they want to do so, good luck to them. Nothing wrong at all with making money off having a good body - it makes sense if you're not shy and don't mind the possibility of people whom you know having a look. Have a plan B for when older though, and bear in mind if you have another job that's more traditional/conservative, that it may cause a conflict in the eyes of that employer.

    Jeez, nothing above is judgemental or jealous or moralising. It's just reality. Some people seem upset at responses that are simply not "yeah go for it - do whatever you want to do, nothing that's harming nobody else has consequences." It would be great if that's how things were but things unfortunately don't always work that way.

    Who could have seen this coming. Shame on everybody in the thread advising someone to quit a permanent job for this

    OnlyFans bans sexually-explicit videos and porn | The Independent

    OnlyFans is banning pornography posts, it has said. The subscription platform has become famous in large part because it allows adult content creators to share videos with relatively few restrictions. But such videos will now be banned, in a decision OnlyFans said it had taken to “ensure the long-term sustainability of the platform”, it told The Independent.

    Onlyfans was full of kids flashing fake ID's and Onlyfans was like, yes you can enter, like some dodgy bouncer at a nightclub.

    Only fans may be stopping this content but it will only navigate to another platform (there are many).


    OP should be good to go until her looks fade.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,487 ✭✭✭floorpie


    OnlyFans had their branding cracked in media though, wherein people who publish on it weren't seen as making porn. Somehow. I think publishing porn from seedy corners of the internet wont be so appealing to, e.g., people who have a permanent position as a nurse.

    Also, although OP was using GMail, Snapchat, and various payment providers, selling porn isn't allowed on any of these.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,205 ✭✭✭cruizer101


    🤔 I thought all onlyfans was just porn, what other content are people selling on it?

    I think I can nearly hear the keyboard clickity clack of developers furiously trying to create a clone.

    It will just be replaced by a new site, or some other existing site will expand to fill the gap.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,487 ✭✭✭floorpie


    It was meant for fans of anybody (e.g. Floyd Mayweather is on it), they just had lax rules for porn, including ignoring underage posters: OnlyFans: How it handles illegal sex videos - BBC investigation - BBC News, and so this proliferated.

    A new site can replace it but will come up against the exact same issue. No payment processors or banks want to deal with porn and related issues, and no venture funds want to invest. This applies even to sites with strict verification. You'd think that if there's a market for something online, it'll keep popping up to meet the demands, but it's not necessarily so. For example torrenting was driven underground by government and ISP-level regulation

    I think this is exactly what people didn't get about the whole matter, but also how it is basically run not unlike a pyramid scheme with referral fees. The whistleblower moderator was pointing out he has basically no moderation authority over the accounts that brought them in the most money. I don't want to speculate but I wonder if those people I suspect are bringing in a lot of new sign ups so both OnlyFans and those account holders are both raking in the cash that way.

    Also most likely why the a lot of the marketing from other account holders is about getting others to sign up and acting like one can make loads of money - so those account holders can enjoy the spoils of those at the bottom of the pyramid. After all, if one was "creating" an product I wouldn't want someone making a practically identical product to me which my "customers" could flock to. But - one sure would if one didn't have to make anything and enjoy getting a cut of all the people one referred.

    If one just wants to sell sexy pics of oneself then to me, just like with running any online shop... it makes the most sense to completely controm everything from your website to collecting payments (particularly when one is raking actual money not a few euro here and there and wants to "build a brand"). But OnlyFans makes a lot more sense if when reading articles about it, you remember it's not too far away from being a pyramid scheme.
