TheIndonesia.id - Onlyfans is an increasingly popular media platform used to sell adult content online. However, in the beginning, OnlyFans was not meant to be a medium for sexual content. So, what are OnlyFans?
What Is OnlyFans?
OnlyFans was created in 2016 by Timothy Stokley. The platform has 31 million users worldwide and 500 thousand content creators.
Basically, OnlyFans is a paid service for subscribing to exclusive content from creators, photos, videos, and live streams. However, most creators actually use it to sell adult content.
This is related to OnlyFans' policy which allows its creators to upload 'adult' content such as photos, videos, and sex chat.
OnlyFans allows its users to upload content containing “NSFW” or “Not Safe For Work”. Thus, OnlyFans users can display adult-only photos and videos with limited access for their fans. For the background information, NFSW refers to 'mature' content that should not be consumed by the public.
How OnlyFans works?
OnlyFans works like other social media in which the users can create their accounts and profile. Users can upload photo and video content to get followers.
However, because OnlyFans is limited, it requires special access to be able to view adult content. Access is obtained by paying an amount of money according to the package offered by the creator. Conversely, creators can also earn income through limited content purchased by fans.
OnlyFans' latest policy regarding pornography
Recently, OnlyFans plans to implement a new policy regarding adult content. As of October 1st, 2021, OnlyFans has a ban on its users uploading sexually explicit content.
The policy change was made due to pressure from banking partners and related payment providers. This is also related to OnlyFans' plan to attract funding from outside investors with a target valuation of more than US $1 billion.
OnlyFans founder, Tim Stokely said that OnlyFans was "complicated" to deal with the banking institutions. Like it or not, they were forced to issue a policy plan to ban sexual & pornographic content.
Even though there has been a ban, there are no details about what kind of content will not be allowed to appear on OnlyFans.
This policy is likely to affect creators. Many sex workers, musicians, and celebrities seek income through this platform.
The latest news says OnlyFans postponed the plan to limit pornographic content.
