OnlyFans is an online platform and app created in 2016 where users can pay for private content (photos, videos, and live streams) with a monthly subscription. Content is mainly created by YouTubers, fitness trainers, models, content creators, and public figures in order to monetize their profession. However, OnlyFans is primarily known for hosting adult content creators. Users can post NSFW videos and photos to their accounts, which are protected by a paywall. To gain access to the content, an individual must pay a monthly subscription fee that ranges anywhere between $4.99 and $49.99.

The platform is used primarily by sex workers who produce pornography, but it also hosts the work of other content creators, such as physical fitness experts and musicians. OnlyFans takes a 20% cut of the earnings.
It is important to note that OnlyFans has a minimum age limit of 18 years or older according to their policy. However, there have been cases of minors accessing the platform by using the ID of an older friend to sign up. OnlyFans is not free of privacy risks, and there have been cases of creators’ content being screen-shot, recorded, or hacked on the site.
