OnlyFans Won't Make You Rich

But it might get you murdered

Jul 16, 2024

“Oh I know someone who makes a fortune on OnlyFans!” she squeaked with excitement.

“Oh really?” came my sardonic reply. “Someone you know personally? How much does she say she makes?”

I was chatting to a young woman in her 20s, and I had a strong suspicion that her acquaintance was trying to groom her into joining Only Fans.

Further probing revealed that the “friend” making these claims had remained rather vague on the numbers.

And who can blame her for fudging the figures:

The average OnlyFans account makes $180 per month — and that’s before taxes.
The average OnlyFans subscription is $7.20 — of which the “creator” keeps $5.76.
The average OnlyFans “creator” has 21 fans

So peddling their flesh on Only Fans earns enough to keep most “creators” in lattes.

But they can earn a commission for recruiting.

“For each creator you refer, you will earn 5% of their total income for the first 12 months of their activity. Once the referred creator starts earning, you start earning automatically.”

Thus, though you’ll almost certainly make little to nothing on OnlyFans, if you can snare others into signing up with your referral, you might make something out of the desperation of others.

And what about the other perks and benefits?

“There is no way of preventing this. It is practically inevitable. I have heard story after story of people’s content being leaked, shared, and even sold to other porn sites without the creator’s consent or knowledge…Not to mention, it is only a matter of time before co-workers, friends, or family members end up seeing something you never intended them to see.”

The Dark Side of OnlyFans - Moral Revolution

Only Fans considerately allows you to delete your account and content at any time, but since this is the internet that simply doesn’t matter — once your face and body are online to be leered over and laughed at, consider them online forever

There’s a strong possibility you will end up on porn sites free of charge
You will know, for the rest of your life, that your family, children, partners, friends and employers could stumble across you grinding and humping for pennies
You will definitely meet men who wish to degrade, humiliate and harm you
And if you’re really unlucky, you may even be stalked or murdered

One of the horrifying consequences of existing as a woman is male predation. Add young and attractive to that and it’s a non stop feverish festival of the debauched and deranged.

It should be obvious that if you court attention on this site, your fanbase will be greasy sleazebags who think of women as a series of holes and jiggly bits.

But nobody deserves the fate of Mercedes Morr.

Morr, 33, was found dead on Sunday by her father Mark Gagnier. Her killer was Kevin Alexander Accorto, 34, a Florida…www.dailymail.co.uk

It’s not definitely stated that the vicious coward who slaughtered Mercedes was a deranged Only Fans admirer, but it’s the assumption. After her horrific assault and murder, her assailant committed suicide.

Murder is not the only thing to fear though, if you escape that fate they may simply move into your attic and take photos of your genitals while you sleep.

And even when not planning to murder you, or playing at Hider in the House, the charming subscribers of OnlyFans consider it their right to degrade and humiliate you.

After all, they’re paying nearly 8 dollars a month for a subscription. They’ve got to get their money’s worth.

One women explains:

“You will be pressured to perform acts you probably never knew existed by people who are caught deep in the throes of intense sexual addiction- people you would never even want to spend one second with outside of the context of OnlyFans. You will get called names and be vilely criticized. It’s not just harassment, it’s abuse.”

And another ex creator had this to say:

“My subscribers pushed my boundaries, sent degrading messages, and treated me like an object…

I saw other creators talking about how being an OnlyFans creator was empowering and a way to be in charge of your own life. That all sounded good to me. But the reality of what actually happened was nothing like that…

It was obvious that they saw me as an object for their pleasure and not as a person. It was awful being constantly sexualized to such a dehumanizing level.”

And she was one of the financial success stories.

My subscribers pushed my boundaries, sent degrading messages…

And finally, if you’re trying to convince yourself that everyone on OnlyFans is over 18, think again.

“An extensive investigation by the BBC yielded story after story of kids under 18 joining the platform and using it to generate and sell Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM).”

So let’s stop pretending that Only Fans is far superior to everyday porn sites, a reasonable career choice, or a magic ticket.

Everything comes with a cost, and the cost of hawking your body online can be a steep one.

And if you’ve already fallen for the hype, and are busy trying to recruit other naive young women, you’d do well to reflect.

It’s true that misery loves company — but perhaps even misery doesn’t have to cash in on the desperation of its friends.
