Is Onlyfans Dying?

Why do people continue paying for porn through OnlyFans when getting scammed is almost guaranteed?

That’s an interesting question. From my perspective, some people might continue using platforms like OnlyFans because they value these sites' personal interaction and exclusivity. It’s not just about the content but also the connection with creators. While scams are a risk, many users might feel the benefits outweigh the potential downsides.

I wouldn’t say OnlyFans is precisely dying, but it’s going through some changes. The platform has had its share of ups and downs; lately, it seems people are exploring other options or shifting their focus.

Because it’s not. You can look up a creator on here or similar forums and most of the time find out within five minutes if their page is worth paying for. Just do your research and you won’t get scammed

It’s not the end of the road, though—just a bit of a shake-up. For creators and fans, there are still opportunities to connect and thrive.

I definitely think Onlyfans is dying and will not be relevant in two years. They HAD a good business model but their greed is going to make them irrelevant. My main reasons why (other than agencies):

-Leaks, a lot of guys who would be willing to do onlyfans won’t for fear that they’ll get leaked and have their nudes online. Onlyfans never did enough to protect creators. And it’s much more common knowledge than in like 2021 that your stuff will get leaked.

-No new creators, this kinda goes hand in hand with leaks but a lot of new guys aren’t making onlyfans this year. I remember in past years that young guys, particularly guys starting college, starting onlyfans once they turned 18. Right now it’s the same creators doing to same things, so I won’t be spending my money on repetitive things and I know most won’t either.

-Difficult to start an onlyfans, I’ve heard from creators that getting verified and starting an onlyfans creator account is actually a pain and hard to do. Other than showing their ID they have to link their social media platforms and do extra things to get verified which can take months. It’s not this difficult on other platforms like Fansly or Chaturbate that do it almost instantly. This hurts the amount of new creators.

-Banning and mistreating creators, they ban a lot of creators who then move to different platforms with their audience. Many creators moved to Fansly and Fansly is starting to grow rapidly. I feel like this year Fansly grew more than previous years. Also creators hate onlyfans too, it’s not a good thing when the producers and consumers on your platform hate you.

-Creators using money transfers, most or every creator I buy from nowadays pretty much only sell using cash app. I’ve noticed starting this year everybody is now doing it. The 25% cut from sales is how Onlyfans makes money so this is really really hurting them.

-Lack of growth, once a guy starts an account it’s really hard to actually grow without an agency. This was always a problem and onlyfans never fixed it, so now the vast majority of accounts are agency ran.

Bundle all these issues with the exponential growth of agencies and it’s starting to cause a lot of trouble. I spent a significant amount less on the website than I did in previous years and it seems like many people are too.

Agree and the articles out there that message contacts & replies are not authentic will also drive users both for females and males.

Not being prudish but— I’d like it to. Or at least do better at the age limit of who can create. Over the last year or so, I’m seeing more and more young people walking across the high school graduation stage and straight into an onlyfans account that’s being promoted on TwiX.

Yes, the legal age to do porn is 18+ and plenty of 18-20 y/o have followed the same path via a known studio, but it’s like having an OFF/JFF/Fansly is being touted as the only new alternative to a traditional 9 to 5, or even a part time something somewhere, based on this influx.

I know sites like this are here to stay, and I’ve definitely supported my fair share of creators, but I’m just a little troubled by the thought of what effects stuff like this will create for many in a decade or so.

You hit the bull's eye with the leaks! Although it's a very complex aspect, on one side, it disrupts the idea of OnlyFans being a private platform where you can "secretly" share your content without the overexposure of traditional porn, and imo this is what attracted so many young, attractive and hot people to the platform in the beginning, I doubt most of those hot guys would partake in traditional studio porn if onlyfans didn't exist, there they could just share whatever they felt comfortable in sharing, not show their full faces (many creators in the early days did not), it always felt like a temporary job, where they could get a lot of money showing their assets, and eventually close their profiles and the content would vanish and they would go back to their regular lives and no one would ever know they had done porn, but onlyfans quick and massive growth disrupted this logic.

On the other side, leaks have always existed and will always exist, and wether they like it or not, it's what brings them attention, exposure and possibly more subscribers, or do they thing their fame spreads mouth to mouth? "Did you check this new creator at OnlyFans? He cums so much omfg you should definitely subscribe to him" lol (perhaps at some gay groups but it's not relevant).

I don't know how it goes in other countries, but here in Brazil what I've noticed among content creators is definitely a discouragement thanks to the leaks (which are bound to happen since we are poor and even 5$ in reais is crazy expensive to spend in porn unless you have a lot of money to spare). Specially when it comes to the straight guys, they are terrified of their content leaking and the repercussions in their personal lives when it comes to friends, family, girlfriends and future job opportunities, and even more so with the hot ones from favelas thanks to the religious stigma. So what I've noticed is: the ones in the top have reached a point where they just can't go back anymore and pretend they didn't do it because everyone already knows (and they love the $$$) so they just continue doing it; the ones not that popular just close their accounts, delete their content and vanish, and there's very very few new ones joining it.
