Whats up with all that Mainstream promo of " OnlyFan " these days ?

[Brian mike]

Whats the words on the street? Are they going to get rid of Adults?

Speculation ON

[Brian mike]

ONLY FANS could be taking a step away from adult content in an attempt to raise new investments.

The adult website with over 120 million users allows people to sign up for a monthly subscription of content from their favourite creators.



Famous celebrities who use the site include Bella Thorne, Cardi B, Megan Barton Hanson and Kerry Katona.

A lot of content creators on the platform charge fans for explicit images and videos of themselves.

OnlyFans is reportedly seeking new funding of over $1billion (£717million), according to Bloomberg.

The British startup is said to be working with an advisor who could widen its pool of investors.



This could involve making OnlyFans a more mainstream platform and taking a step away from its pornographic reputation.

Some people already use the platform for things other than explicit content.

Cardi B charges fans $4.99 a month for content like behind the scenes of her music videos and Q&As.

This!

And They are on a " Pornhub " Situation in the UK recently:



British subscription site OnlyFans is failing to prevent underage users from selling and appearing in explicit videos, a BBC investigation has found.

Under-18s have used fake identification to set up accounts, and police say a 14-year-old used a grandmother's passport.

The UK's most senior police officer for child protection also says children are being "exploited" on the platform.

OnlyFans says its age verification systems go over and above regulatory requirements.

The platform has more than a million "creators" who share video clips, photos and messages directly with subscribers for a monthly fee.

In return for hosting the material, OnlyFans takes a 20% share of all payments.

Warning: Story contains adult themes and language

There is a range of content on the site but it is best known for pornography, and requires users to be over 18.

OnlyFans was a big winner during the pandemic, exploding in popularity as much of the world was housebound. The social media platform has grown nearly 10-fold since 2019, and now has more than 120 million users.

Some creators have become millionaires from their accounts, yet for most it has been a lifeline or a second income during the pandemic.

But BBC News has investigated concerns that under-18s are selling explicit videos on the site, despite it being illegal for individuals to post or share indecent images of children.

As part of our investigation, we found that one 17-year-old from a suburb in the south-east of England had sold videos of herself masturbating and playing with sex toys, while an under-18 participated in graphic videos hosted on an adult account in Nevada, US, in breach of the company's terms and conditions.

We were also able to set up an account for an underage creator, by using a 26-year-old's identification, showing how the site's age-verification process could be cheated.

OnlyFans says it has now shut down the accounts. But BBC News has also heard from child protection experts across the UK and US, spoken to dozens of police forces and schools, and obtained anonymised extracts from Childline counsellor notes, about underage experiences on OnlyFans. The notes included one girl who told counsellors she had accessed the site when she was just 13.

These sources told BBC News about a number of serious cases:

Schools have shared anonymous reports of pupils using the site, including a 16-year-old who boasted to her careers adviser about the amount of money she made on the site, and showed off her "exuberant" spending on Instagram.
Underage creators and users of the site include victims of prior sexual abuse and those with mental health issues and suicidal thoughts, according to Childline counsellor notes.
UK police forces say children have complained about their images being uploaded to the site without consent, and one 17-year-old reported being blackmailed.
Missing children are appearing in OnlyFans videos, according to a US watchdog, which also says it has received reports of child sexual exploitation.
"It is increasingly clear that OnlyFans is being used by children," says chief constable Simon Bailey, the UK's child protection lead.

"The company is not doing enough to put in place the safeguards that prevent children exploiting the opportunity to generate money, but also for children to be exploited."

In a statement, OnlyFans says it could not respond specifically to the anonymous reports we were told about without the account details.

It says its efforts to stop children accessing its site limits the likelihood of them being exposed to blackmail or exploitation, and if it is notified about these behaviours it takes swift action and disables accounts.




It started with feet photos
Leah, 17, was able to set up an account using a fake driving licence and sell explicit videos.

She told her mum Caitlyn about being on OnlyFans, on the way to Tesco's near their home in south-east England in January.

That week Leah's bank account had been frozen after she received a payment of more than £5,000 from selling explicit videos on the site, Caitlyn says.

Caitlyn says she was as shocked as "any parent" would be. "I don't understand why people are paying so much money for this," she told the BBC.

Leah had "big issues" growing up and missed a lot of education, Caitlyn says. Naked photographs of her were once shared around school without her consent.

She told her mum she originally intended to only post pictures of her feet after making money selling them on Snapchat. But this soon escalated to explicit videos of her masturbating and playing with sex toys.

In tweets advertising her OnlyFans account - some of which include teaser videos - people call her "beautiful" and "sexy", and ask if she would meet up.

"Post a pussy shot and I'll subscribe," is another typical response.

Caitlyn says she doesn't approve of her daughter using the site, but can see why people go on it, given how much money can be made.

Leah used most of the money to buy presents for her boyfriend, including more than £1,000 on designer clothes. They have since broken up.

In a statement, OnlyFans said that Leah's ability to access the site was an "oversight", and her fake driving licence did not trigger a red flag. It said her account was approved during a transition "from one effective ID and age verification system to a new exceptionally effective" one.

Leah's age was directly reported to OnlyFans by an anonymous social media account in late January. The company says this led to a moderator reviewing the account and double-checking her ID. As it appeared legitimate, no further action was taken.

Caitlyn says it was stated "everywhere" on other online accounts that her daughter was 17. There is no obligation for a website to investigate, but OnlyFans told the BBC it checks social media when verifying accounts.

Leah stopped posting on OnlyFans, but her account remained active on the site four months later, with more than 50 archived pictures and videos. She had logged on as recently as late April.

After being contacted by BBC News, OnlyFans shut down her page. It says it has also refunded all active subscriptions to her account. But images from her account have already been leaked all across the internet.

Leah's now anxious about leaving the house for fear of being recognised, her mum says. Her plans to go to college have been delayed.

"She won't go out at all, really," Caitlyn says. "She doesn't want to be seen."

Grandmother's passport
BBC News also heard of other cases of underage children gaining access to OnlyFans.

Hertfordshire Police told us that a 14-year-old girl had managed to use her grandmother's passport and bank details to sell explicit images. They say she then redirected money from that account to her own.

OnlyFans says the account was "fraudulent" and involved the help of others. The site says it is assisting police and has since updated its age-verification system to "further reduce the chance" of this happening again.

But BBC News tested the site's "new exceptionally effective" system in April. While a fake ID did not work, we were able to set up an OnlyFans account for a 17-year-old by using her 26-year-old sister's passport. The girl never had access to the account.

... if you'd be OF, I think you'd want to try that move... but you'd be also making a white label of OF and migrate all porn and fans to this new platform...
Imo they're ambitious, but they won't sacrifice their original source of success...

[DukeSkywalker]

Only fans was always mainstream. Until it wasn’t. I seen an add on youtube, of all places.

Yeah, I've never paid it much attention but also thought it was just a mainstream site that allowed adult stuff, like Twitter or Reddit do and Tumblr used to (or maybe still does again), especially when it was referred to in a Beyonce song.

A weird blurring of porn and mainstream, IMO, especially if kids are using it. (Weird that it hasn't been cracked down on already.)

[amber-nd]

It makes sense. Less risk becoming mainstream. With all of the people going after PornHub, OnlyFans could have been next. Plus they will probably start to sale ad space on the site to big brands.

There are better options for adult performers out there like ItsMii.com

[King Mark]

Onlyfans has always been for adult and mainstream. People have been making bank selling access to tutorials and such on there since the beginning.

Infact, if you ever signed up you'd know that.

InFact they ask Each of my models to access their Facebook account as a screening process (Very Weird TBH).
Passport & Canadian Government ID not enough for "OF" LOL.
OF course, models did refuse because of their family and friend links in their personal facebook page.
Thats Why they are working from IsMyGirl

Under-18s have used fake identification to set up accounts

This is kinda sad, really.


Why were these underage users creating an account by uploading fake ids? Because they knew they didn't have the legal age to be allowed on the platform. So they put some thought into it, trying to figure out a way on how to cheat the system, even though they knew exactly that what they were doing is illegal.

They never cared about the fact they were doing something illegal, they rather wanted to commit a crime in order to earn some cash... again, illegally... also, while being complete hypocrites for not giving a single fuck about what consequences their actions might have for a platform/company, so I guess you can add being selfish to the list as well.

One might assume that those who commit an actual crime are usually the criminals in a story, yet, somehow, rules of logic don't often seem to apply to news media websites these days, because of course, OF is the "big bad guy" in the article, and not these poor (hypocrite) girls which committed fraud for their own benefits.


Journalist know damn well that clickbait articles generate 10x more revenue... Any adult company makes an easy target, as they would likely get very little sympathy and support from the "masses", which makes them a perfect scapegoat. They are exploiting and taking advantage of the public image of an adult company by simply swapping victim roles here, just to turn it into an (easier to sell) clickbait article.
Basically, news media like that are fucking a company without their consent, and exploit them for one reason only - their own financial benefits (in ad revenue). I guess that makes them kinda modern day "pimps".

Then things get worse when "The Church People" start getting involved by using those same type of "clickbait articles" as an excuse to exploit that company even further, for their own personal gains, hoping to score "a free ticket to Heaven" by saving people that don't even want or need to be saved in the first place. Makes them kinda pimps too, just not the smartest ones.


OF isn't perfect, I mean, they did screw over affiliates big time, so one might call it Karma, but whether you like a certain company or not, I would seriously be worried if eventually OF does decide that sacrificing most of their entire revenue outweighs the risk of keeping adult content on...
