Fansly's FYP is dead for everyone... Has anyone else noticed this? 🚨 80% drop in views! 🚨

Post Body

I want to share this because I've been frustrated for a week, and no one at Fansly seems to be taking responsibility for explaining what's going on: The FYP has changed for everyone! This change has been evident since the beginning of this month. I already noticed a drop in September, but this month has been drastic. They can't keep saying the algorithm hasn't been affected because the drop in views is widespread.

 In all the Telegram groups with hundreds of thousands of content creators, everyone is saying the same thing. It doesn't matter if you're new or have been around for a while, or if your ranking is 0% or 6%. Whether you were getting 10 or 200 fans a day... we're all seeing how the FYP is collapsing, and it's getting worse every day.

 What's the goal here? Nobody explains it. I suppose Fansly is implementing a strategy they haven't communicated to the creators because they know many of us would migrate to other platforms. After all, fans don't spend money on Fansly; they spend it on us, the creators. We are the real product, and Fansly is just the platform.

 I have two theories: either something in their system isn't working, and they're delaying the communication until they fix it, or they're changing their strategy to compete more directly with OF, demanding more external promotion from us. It’s strange that six months ago, 26K fans decided to follow me, spending 16K per month, and suddenly, my content isn't attractive anymore. It doesn't make sense.

 The only useful response I received was from Kevin, who suggested:

 Post less. He told me, "Do just one video a day and put all your energy into making it go viral. You're posting too much similar content daily, and that reduces its appeal and lowers its potential in the algorithm." 

While that makes sense, I followed his advice for a week, but my FYP collapsed even further. After reducing the number of posts, my daily views dropped 80% overall, with 60% of that drop happening after following Kevin's suggestion.

I keep a daily record of followers, subscribers, sales, and views on both of my accounts because I'm very methodical. This doesn't add up.

Fansly has every right to change the rules, but they should communicate that to us so we can decide if we want to continue working here or not.

Has anyone else noticed the same, or does anyone have a different opinion?

Mine tanked end of june/July and I couldn't break 100, went from 1500 to under 100. August i saw a steady incline. And now I'm just hovering from 150-200. But I'm getting follower like crazy again after crickets.

Lol. I also followed Kevin's advice of reducing my fyp posts from 3xday with a mix of photos and videos, to one video a day...and my views COLLAPSED a further 90% that week.

The joke is that now there's a site pop-up recommending you only post videos to the FYP. 🫠

Like many others I also experienced a drastic drop in views in early/mid summer, from 6k or so to now 100-200 a day. It's pretty devastating.

Also - although my content is niche, it's extremely high quality. Most of my subscribers are on a $25 or $50 tier because my content is consistent, engaging, and unique. So I think it's BS to say "make better content" when, when I actually got views, subscribers were rolling in!

Well, I’m glad that I’m not going crazy because I noticed this at the end of August and thought it was just me and I was doing something wrong. Now I’m seeing it’s an on-going problem with everyone makes me feel less alone. I got extremely frustrated with my post getting virtually no traffic that I just gave up altogether. Like what’s the point of a For You page if it’s not doing its job. That was the whole benefit of Fansly over OF was there FYP that had an algorithm that promoted your content. I hope they figure it out before they start losing a lot more creators.
