What is OnlyFans?

OnlyFans is a content subscription service platform where creators can share content directly with their subscribers, who pay monthly fees to access it. The platform launched in 2016.

The site became known for adult content creators, though it also hosts other types of content like fitness training, cooking tutorials, and music. Creators set their subscription prices and keep 80% of the revenue, while OnlyFans takes a 20% commission.

The platform requires creators to verify their identity and age (18+) before they can post content. Subscribers must also verify they are adults. The site has strict rules about content and prohibits illegal material.

Beyond adult content, many musicians, artists, chefs, fitness trainers, and other content creators use OnlyFans to share exclusive content with dedicated fans and build direct relationships with their audience. This can include behind-the-scenes footage, tutorials, recipes, workout routines, and more.

The platform gained significant attention in 2020 when many people turned to content creation as an income source. Notable celebrities and influencers have also joined the platform to share exclusive non-adult content with fans.

OnlyFans emphasizes content creator safety and rights, with features like watermarking to prevent unauthorized sharing of content. The site processes payments securely and allows creators to set their own boundaries about what content they share.
