OnlyFans

OnlyFans is a subscription-based content platform founded in November 2016 by Timothy Stokely. It allows content creators to monetize their work by offering exclusive content to paying subscribers. Creators can set monthly subscription fees for access to their photos, videos, and live streams, with the platform taking a commission of about 20% from their earnings.

Initially catering to a wide range of creators, including fitness instructors and musicians, OnlyFans gained significant recognition for adult content, attracting many adult entertainers and models. The platform hosts over 2.1 million content creators and has more than 210 million registered users worldwide. It provides flexible monetization options, including monthly subscriptions and one-time tips, making it accessible for creators from various fields. Key developments include changes in leadership and ownership, with Amrapali Gan and Keily Blair serving as CEOs in recent years.
