OnlyFans is an internet content subscription service based in London, United Kingdom. It was launched in 2016.
Similar, to the likes of Patreon and SubscribeStar, OnlyFans allows content creators to place their content and videos behind a subscription based paywall. Content on the platform is user-generated and monetized via monthly subscriptions, tips, and/or pay-per-view. The website grew massively in terms of popularity during the COVID-19 pandemic, receiving a 75% growth in its user base during this time period.; as of May 2023, OnlyFans had more than three million registered creators and 220 million registered users.
Despite originally being intended as a SFW platform for all forms of content creation, OnlyFans gained a reputation for attracting content creators in the form of models, strippers, sex workers, and amateur pornography creation. As of 2024, 98% of all content on OnlyFans is considered adult content.
