Ok so I'm finally posting this because it pissed me off too much to talk about much before but I really think OnlyFans is awful.

In 2020 I joined the site because I had nothing else to and was bored and wanted to see how long I could last (I make fetish content that onlyfans was for sure going to ban me for)

I lasted 3 months and in that time I made it to the top 5%.

Does anyone talk about how being in the top 5% still has you making slave wages? It was like 1000 bucks! Great money for screwing around but terrible money for people just doing onlyfans.

And 100% of the fans I got there were brought there by me and were existing fans who were already spending money on my content. Nobody was brought to me from onlyfans traffic.

I did well for 2 reasons:

1. I have a huge catalogue of content already made. 100s of full length porn movies. I never made any content FOR onlyfans
2. I already had an existing fan base that spent money on my content and was happy to go do it anywhere I suggested

Since onlyfans is so famous among non-sex workers, it's always the first place people go (and only place usually!) to start experimenting with online sex work. That's never going to work, those people have neither of the things I had to be 'successful' there. And even if they did, they'd be making dirt for the amount of time they put in.

I'm sure some people get lucky and only do onlyfans and get famous doing advertising for their onlyfans, but I really don't think that's something that happens.

THE ADVICE:

If you do not have existing fans and content, go somewhere that generates traffic towards your page so you can build a fan base. I used ExtraLunchMoney (this was like 8 years ago) and I did custom videos to figure out what I liked and build a collection of content to resell.

If you have existing fans and content and want a convenient place to monetize it, go for onlyfans and put only as much time as feels worth it for 1000 per month.

Am I crazy? Someone tell me I'm misunderstanding, I feel awful for everyone on this platform.

PS: Does anyone know any girls based in Romania who have accounts that have been successfully opened and received pay? Some friends of mine all experienced problems and I think they just don't approve these girls. Maybe because of the stereotypes? I hope this is not true but I've seen it anecdotally.
