OnlyFans is a content sharing platform based in London. Creators can use it to offer videos, photos and even one-on-one chat opportunities for a fee. It’s popular in the adult entertainment industry. The New York Times even ran a story in early 2019 that claimed OnlyFans had changed sex work forever, calling OnlyFans “the paywall of pornography.” But OnlyFans is used by all kinds of creators.

 

OnlyFans was founded by Timothy Stokely and is a website with no official apps. It currently has around 50 million users and 450,000 creators.

 

Who uses OnlyFans?

Models, musicians, actors, fitness experts and influencers use OnlyFans to generate income. They can receive money directly from fans on a monthly basis or from tips and the pay-per-view feature.

Actress Bella Thorne also claimed to have earned over $2 million on OnlyFans in one week.
