OnlyFans is a subscription-based content platform where creators can share exclusive photos, videos, and other content with their subscribers behind a paywall. Creators set their own monthly subscription price (usually between $4.99 to $49.99), and fans pay to access their private feed. Besides subscriptions, creators can earn money through tips, pay-per-view content, private messages, and livestreams. The platform allows direct, personal interaction between creators and fans without algorithms controlling visibility. Creators keep 80% of their earnings, while OnlyFans takes 20% as a fee. Privacy is maintained for subscribers, who can stay anonymous with discreet payments, and creators have complete control over their content and earnings.
