Overall not a fan personally anymore, but can see why they do it. There is a whale out there that will make it worthwhile otherwise they wouldn't do it.

That being said there are other accounts that don't do this and are worth it.

Porn fans often complain when they can't see what is available in the members section of a porn site so why would anyone be okay with joining an "OF" page when they don't know what their money is going to get them? In my experience whenever a site hides it's content to potential customers then it means the content isn't any good. The way "OF" works is that they trick (fool) people into believing that they are going to get some amazing stuff from their favorite performer. This is reinforced by the performers hyping their "OF" page.

I lived through the precursor to "OF". Anyone remember what it was like about 15 to 20 years ago when just about every performer had her own porn site and just how crappy the content was? If you don't then I do and I spent a shitload of cash on those sites until I realised that it didn't matter the cost. It was never worth the price. Not once.

[Link]

You've said that multiple times and then ignored the fact that there are performers out there that do exactly what you're saying. The platform is only as good as the performers that use it, and if you actually pay attention before you sign up, 9 times out of 10 you get exactly what you should expect.

[Link]

For the performers it's great economics (esp given that so many people "fell for it", even if temporarily), but for consumers it's definitely the worst new trend going.

As a business owner myself, I'll forever advocate for taking control of the circumstances around your work and getting the biggest cut you can. However, the product on onlyfans has never been nearly up to spec to justify the amount of money that it ostensibly generates, not to speak of the performers it's taken away from doing professional studio produced scenes, both partially and entirely.

Only claiming to speak for myself here, but there's zero practical difference to me between seeing that "catch me on onlyfans from now on" tweet and a retirement announcement.

It never materialised and I wasted a lot of money until I chose to apply my above rule. The good news I can see is that you can fool someone once and maybe you can fool them twice but at some point they can't be fooled anymore and I think that is what will happen to most performers "Only Fans" page. People will stop buying those useless "OF" pages and the platform will die from lack of income.

[Link]

I absolutely believe that if a product is good or worth paying for you'll be able to see it up front and it'll sell itself.

[Link]

When I think of the "onlyfan" phrase, I think of "only a fan of" or "true fan of", so I'm thinking the #1 pornstar who you love the most you'll be okay with giving you any type of content no matter how mediocre it is. The problem is we don't watch porn for only our #1 favorite, we watching porn for hundreds of pornstars, and I'm sure we'd want to subscribe to multiple pornstars who have onlyfans accounts and a lot of those aren't worth it.

[Link]

But it's the same content a lot of the time. At least from the professional performers I follow, their manyvids videos and their onlyfans videos are literally the same content being sold on separate platforms.

[Link]

Which is a big part of why it costs like double/triple the price. Manyvids stuff is like $15-30 per video as opposed to mostly Onlyfans subs being $10-15 a month, which can include multiple videos. I keep saying that "as long as you actually do a bit of research and don't just sign up because you like the performer, you'll be fine on Onlyfans" and I haven't really seen any proof that this isn't the case.

And truthfully, the only reason I care at all is because I get a little tired of seeing the idea that "Onlyfans and other model-centric platforms are ruining the industry because they're taking girls away from shooting mainstream productions", which I don't actually think is a bad thing for one, and I don't think is all that true for two. Most of the women that only shoot for those platforms don't actually have much of an interest in shooting for mainstream companies (because, you know, it's never been easier to shoot for them if you have a generally attractive body type) and are the type of performers that would have been in and out of the industry within a few scenes if these platforms didn't exist. With these platforms, they can keep putting out content for months/years instead of shooting a handful of scenes and disappearing. And the popular performers that have "left"? They're the ones that would have, a lot of the time, stopped producing scenes anyway, either to "take their talents private", or to start up their own subscription website and only shoot for it anyway. Or, at best, they would have signed a contract with someone and we'd get like 6-10 scenes of them a year. Because of all these platforms, we're getting more content than we ever have, and people are getting upset because they know it exists and can't figure out a cheap enough way to get access to it.

[Link]

Personally I don't mind the 'amateur' video quality and think that breaking out of the mainstream mold is where the industry is headed anyway - but many people feel otherwise. The other strike against most OF sites I've seen, and this is what soured me on them, is the tendency to post videos that are only a few minutes long (at best.)

Yes, you can wait for each piece of the entire clip to post and edit them together, but it's a flagrant method to draw longer subs, no other reason I can think of.

That's dishonest in my opinion. It's a new platform so perhaps these are just the early growing pains, but it's painful.

[Link]

It's always laughable when people come up with these conspiracy theories and absolutely no definitive or irrefutable proof as if everybody is so naive to blindly believe them.

[Link]

But this for those stars who are superactive , those struggling don't have such luxury , so 75% is not believeable

[Link]

Just my 2 cents. Tried some others, but cancelled after a month.

[Link]

First of all like someone said here, not only do u have to pay what ever the subscription fee is monthly but most pornstars will charge u $15-$25 to unlock content they do.

Secondly it doesn't seem like most of these porn stars care what u want, i requested a custom video from someone ( not gonna mention any names) so she asks me how much i would like to tip her? Since i'm new i really don't know how much i should be giving her anyway so i said $15 she got all rude and said she would block me for saying that. The bitch thinks i guess i should buy her a house for a custom video , but i was nice about it and said ok how much would u like?

Onlyfans is for money hungry porn stars who think fans should be their bank account , steal ur money and probably spend it on drugs and don't care what u want, you're better off going to porn hub ,it's no wonder some people pirate porn of their favorite stars since you're better off, stay away.

[Link]

Anyways she got back to me on the pricing and it turns out she wants $200 for a custom vid, now would u pay that for any porn star on only fans? You are better off getting a hooker, but to each their own.

[Link]

Don't know what you expected in the custom video, but by definition it is custom, so ideally you'd be the only one getting the video. The actor would have to take time to record the video, edit and upload. Let's assume this all takes one hour. So basically you'd be willing to pay $15 hourly wage to a sex worker. Interesting...

(and this has nothing to do with onlyfans)

[Link]

I'm aware that the odd 5-minute self-shot smartphone video might not be worth your hard earned money (which is what this thread consensus basically is)

[Link]

I have paid a significant amount of money for custom content, albeit not through OF.

Each to their own indeed. You can watch the custom video many times with the single fee unlike hiring a hooker but different strokes and all that.
