What is OnlyFans and how does it work: history and evolution of a controversial social network

Post by Abdur14 »

ANDIn recent times we have heard a lot about OnlyFans , a social network for adults that has gained some relevance, mainly due to the erotic content uploaded by some well-known faces on television.


As it relates to erotic or pornographic content, the debate is open, so before making an assessment of the platform in question and the type of publications that are popular on it, we wanted to analyze in detail what it consists of, who its typical users are and whether, beyond the erotic, it can be a useful tool for other types of profiles (musicians, artists, etc.).

Brief history of OnlyFans
OnlyFans was born back in 2016 as a social network that honduras number data served as a meeting point between fashion influencers and followers . Its creator, the British Tim Stokely , initially proposed it as a premium content platform, through which users paid to see the posts of their "idols" .

However, in 2018, the social network was acquired (75%) by Leonid Radvinsky , owner of the live sex website MyFreeCams , and the site changed course and became what it is today, an adult platform , where content creators share erotic or sexual images or videos, these being the main attraction of the network.

In 2021, Stokely stepped down from her role as CEO of the company, and the role was taken over by Ami Gan , the former director of communications and marketing. OnlyFans' current CEO is Keily Blair , the former director of strategy and operations, who took over the role after Gan's resignation.
