How Adult Content Platform OnlyFans Transformed Porn
- OnlyFans, founded in 2016, is a content subscription platform used by over four million creators sharing adult material with more than 300 million fans worldwide.
- The platform grew rapidly due to demand for direct-to-fan pornographic content, rejecting about two-thirds of 187,305 applications in May to maintain quality control.
- OnlyFans paid creators $5.3 billion in the year ending November 2023, achieving an operating margin of about 50%, which is higher than tech giants like Alphabet and Meta.
- Bonnie Blue, a notable creator, earned up to $250,000 monthly and spent most of her time managing messages and administrative tasks, illustrating the platform's lucrative but demanding nature.
- The platform’s success has reshaped online porn distribution but also raised concerns about young viewers' exposure and the social stigma faced by creators like Margaret McDonagh, who was shunned by her community for modelling on OnlyFans.
