It's kinda scary how finance and payment processing companies can just destroy a company and a whole bunch of people's livelihoods by themselves just because they decide they don't like what they sell, and have no oversight whatsoever preventing them from doing this.
Tinfoil hat time: giant capital wants more labor doing menial jobs rather than making enough to not need a minimum wage job because of OF and are willing to tear down what they're invested in to do so. They won't stop shutting up about the "labor shortage" as is.
I absolutely think there’s an element to this. We see OnlyFans and think of the people on our lives who have turned to it as a source of income. Rich fucks see OnlyFans and think of the article they read about how many workers are supposedly quitting their jobs to pursue sex work
Everyone’s doing OF instead of working at Wendy’s so we have to kill it
I’ve read the average OF creator only makes like $200. I love a conspiracy as much as anyone but idk if that’s what’s going on here.

Yeah I’ve read that if you look at the time people put in to their patreons, most creators are probably earning less than minimum wage. It’s definitely not the get rich quick that some people believe it to be, even if you get the occasional Bella Thorne to prop up that narrative.
That’s probably what is going on, to some degree. But imo that creates a realistic picture of the typical OF content creator experience.
I envision there’s many people who signed up and didn’t post anything. Or they posted for a while but never got more than like $100/ month. I haven’t looked at the numbers but if it’s similar to patreon, for every one popular creator I’d bet there’s like 60 accounts that went nowhere.

90% of people made an OF and then abandoned it, driving down the average. For the remainder, it's a real job for half of them. I'd say sex work represents a significant abdication from the traditional labor market.
Correct. Texas and other states are raising minimum age to work in strip clubs from 18 to 21.
Eh, I’m pretty sure the population of people not hot enough to make it only OnlyFans is big enough to keep capital supplied with labor.
