OnlyFans videos now defaulting to DRM/streaming

I was bored. So I turned on my old windows laptop and followed some of the methods you can find on Google.

And I finally got it to working… Huge shout out to sim0n00ps!

I didn’t know what I was doing half the time. But I can download content again!

I rejoined Marshall Price OF who has DRM turned on and I’ve been able to download all his latest DRM videos. It’s a process and can take like 10mins for a video to start downloading.

You need to be a little tech savvy… But there is a work around you guys!

Please map out the steps for us in a user friendly way the average lay person could grasp.

GitHub - sim0n00ps/OF-DL: C# console app to download all of the media from Onlyfans accounts with DRM video downloading support

...and folks can watch the tutorial video here: OF DL Tutorial.mp4

It's a process to get things going but it does work. I can now download DRM videos from OF. This maybe the only solution. I don't see an extension being available anytime soon that will be able to just allow us to download content as before. There's more processes involved just to get a video.
 
i guess onlyfans is loosing many many subscribers and customers if it keeps going on like that with all these creators putting DRM on.....i certianly wont follow them again

According to them their profits are up. However, if anything DRM is starting to hurt the tube sites. You are starting to see alot of older porn videos from about 10 years ago being the top trending videos on tube sites. Because people can't download the new stuff.

Honestly, I think alot of the top performers on OF were complaining. Because if we are to be honest. As soon as the top female creators on OF post a video on their page it was downloaded an on tube sites within 30 mins to an hour... and by the end of the day would have thousands and thousands of views.

@maxking094
@mst8neigh (said he would turn DRM off, but still see vids in DRM. All vids but 2 are in DRM)
@gabritwink (DRM on and All PPV vids, no full vids on wall)


******** @evansterlingxxx ****(NO DRM -- Massive shooter, sexy as hell, and a good OF to subscribe to!!! I LOVE HIS OFS!! And he is really personable and easy to chat with, I highly recommend his OFs.
 
I feel like once they get DRM usage to a particular percentage... they are gonna roll out something for photos.
If they do that I think even moreso they may be at serious risk of overmilking it and killing the goose that lays the golden egg.

@tradesmancock also has DRM enabled, which is a shame because his videos are hot

But if I had known about DRM I wouldn't have signed to his OF.

I found this method very technical and complicated...
I wasn't able to. It's not possible that it would be that difficult to create a browser extension or an app that simplifies this entire process with just a few clicks

I assume creating an app that is intended to help people violate copyright law is not going to appeal to most developers

It frustrates me to no end that 99% of OF models refuse to listen to their customers and accuse you of stealing their content whenever you complain about DRM. DRM is illogical and undoubtedly taking money out of their pockets, but they can't (or won't) think hard enough about it to realize that.

A simple hypothetical can illustrate this. Say you have 200 subscribers a month at $10/month without DRM, but your content gets leaked. You are making $2,000/month from subscription fees (plus whatever revenue you bring in from customs, PPVs, selling underwear, etc.).

But you are pissed off that people are getting your leaked content for free, so you turn on DRM. I think its pretty clear by now that turning on DRM will lose you subscribers. Lets be conservative and say you only lose 20 subscribers (in reality, it is very likely much more than that). Now you are only making $1,800/month plus you lose any extra revenue those 20 subscribers would spend.

But maybe the people that were previously stealing your content will now subscribe because they can't get it for free anymore? LMAO ... not a chance. You are throwing away money by turning on DRM. You are paying at least $200/month (in reality, much more) for the peace of mind that comes from knowing that people aren't sharing your content for free. Plus, no one other than your subscribers even knows you exist because you are too fucking lazy to market anything and your content can't be easily shared.

No to mention the fact that the DRM doesn't even really stop those that are dead set on saving your content anyways. So you are only punishing your loyal fans by giving them a much, much worse experience on your site and preventing anyone that simply wants to download your content for their own private consumption (and not share it).

Sorry for the rant ... this just really pisses me off and has completely ruined OF IMO. I thought models would figure this out sooner rather than later, but they are too stubborn and full of themselves to even consider stuff like this.

tl;dr: DRM sucks!
