Summary
OnlyFans has transformed from an obscure platform into a $1.3 billion social media empire blending adult content with the creator economy.
Initially porn-free, the platform shifted to explicit content in 2017, driving its growth during the pandemic.
Under CEO Keily Blair, OnlyFans markets itself as offering “ethical” porn and mainstream content, but critics argue it profits from exploitative practices while downplaying its reliance on adult performers.
Owner Leonid Radvinsky, a reclusive billionaire, has earned over $1 billion in dividends.
Concerns about moderation, safety, and the platform’s true impact persist.
I occasionally throw folks a month or two sub when I appreciate their posting free content here or wherever. My roundabout way of supporting small platforms like Lemmy or Mastodon by making sure content creators are encouraged to continue posting.
Weirdly, perhaps, I don’t watch any of it to get off. I just appreciate what they are putting out into the world. It generally turns out the content made to retain subscribers is very different from the content to entice them in the first place and I enjoy the latter much more.
I was on Instagram the other day and saw an account called “cakes on cakes” where she makes these incredibly well decorated cakes, like top-top-tier cakes, and then at the end she sits on them. Turns out she has an OnlyFans where people pay to watch her “wash off all the frosting” as the tagline goes.
To be honest I want a non-sitting version of the account so I can follow, like, and share the content without my friends thinking I’m just out here with a food fetish.
If your friends judge you for having a food fetish that’s a terrible sign. Everyone is into some kind of weird shit when it comes to sex and a food fetish is a pretty harmless fetish to have.
As long as you’re not nonconsenually rubbing it in peoples’ faces if someone digs into your internet presence and feels offended that’s their fucking problem.
Obviously if you wear a shirt printed with “Shove it in my cake hole dommy mommy” to work or to an event where there may be people who haven’t previously been aware of and expressed clear consent to be included in your fetish then you’re an asshole (fuck people who openly wear bondage gear on the subway and the like) - but someone peeping does so at their own risk.
