I just want to say it's a fucking shame that there are so many scammers on OF. It makes once willing consumers jaded and second guess supporting other content creators
It's not even just people "new" to you that are a risk, either. I recently re-subscribed to a model I absolutely ADORED, and had been a member of his Onlyfans a couple of years back when I could afford it. I never stopped supporting him on his other social media's, and even went as far as encouraging others to check him out. Hell, when I re-subscribed, I posted on Twitter about how excited I was about it and how I thought his price point was so reasonable with the new discount he was offering.
... little did I know that I was basing all of that on my memory of what his account once WAS. Not what it had become. Long story short, he completely removed the vast majority of his content from his account. There was absolutely no video available now -- none, just images. Keep in mind that he had dozens of them when I was last subscribed, all of them pretty high quality, and many pretty lengthy. None now.
Also, it was apparent within minutes of re-subbing that he's using an agency. He's permanently online, answers every message in seconds, constant deluge of messages and advertisements for his own content and most tellingly, the content of other OnlyFans creators. I'd spoken to this fellow in the past, and the person (or people) I interacted with on this account were NOT him.
I questioned him about it and the agent played dumb, so I played along a bit and asked him about one of the videos I remember watching 30 times -- a favorite of mine. Where did it go?
"Which one was it?" He wanted to know. I found the only remnant of it remaining on his account -- a single still screenshot. He sent me a message with a link to the video, NOW LOCKED, with an unlock fee of something like $39. This was a five minute video. "Enjoy, dear!"
It was then that I realized what he'd really done -- he'd retroactively converted his basic, absolutely oldest content into PPVs, and expensive ones at that. He was aggressively upselling day and night, and I honestly couldn't tell if he'd made anything new within two years.
TLDR -- I feel like he either sold the account outright to an agency, or gave up on producing and managing it himself. The desire to make money and move on with one's life, especially while young, I definitely get ... it's tough for me to condemn someone for that. One thing I cannot forgive him for, however, is the practice of trying to fake out a customer with paid agents pretending to be him. It couldn't work on me, because I knew the real him.
