    So only fans isn't the "liberation" radlibs say it is? I'm shocked I tell you, absolutely shocked!

    Seriously I've had radlibs tell me that only fans is giving the "means of production to the workers" and other stuff. Just because it's less exploitative than other forms of sex work does not mean it's revolutionary

      it’s closer to doing that and generally a material improvement for me and other sex workers, yeah. It’s also still a capitalist monster like every other big tech company.

        Yeah it's a material improvement over other forms of sex work. As an outsider though, it seems like they're constantly trying to kick sex workers off the platform, every few months there some big controversy that makes it onto mainstream news and then a ton of people talk about moving over to different platforms, to the point that even me, who doesn't watch porn and use much social media, sees it all over social media.

          they have been and it’s bullshit that they’d then turn around and do this to everyone they were also throwing out

          :desolate:

          these sites need to be worker owned and operated.

            Yeah it seems to me that they just want to burn though users and don't care about the long term welfare of the people that actually make the site profitable.

            It's tough out there for sex workers online, I think even over a year ago most NSFW subreddits on :reddit-logo: banned people with an only fans immediately. I don't know what the situation is now, probably worse.

        I don't think anything like real liberation is possible for sex workers under capitalism. In a vague sense I don't like the idea of sex work, but I know I have to fight anything opposing sex work because any crackdowns will hurt workers doing nothing terribly wrong, not the people I actually want behind bars.

        I mean they've always been pretty bad, like only the top 1% of creators earn any decent money and they sell this dream of making it big to everyone. I think the average only fans account has only earned like 200-300USD over it's lifetime.

          a lot of accounts are barely used or people decide it’s not for them. do you have a source on that statistic? I’d love to read about how they got that number

            So I was unable to find a source for that one, probably really outdated information.

            https://earthweb.com/onlyfans-statistics/

            According to this the average monthly earnings is 150USD per month from 21 subscribers, without tips.

            The rest of the article sounds like bs though, especially the part about no screenshots. If that was true, there wouldn't be so many complaints about content being leaked.
