What is Onlyfans?

What do you get if you can have influencers and explicit pay-per-view content in the same place? Social media with paid nudes? Well, yes and no. A sponsorship site for adult-content creators? Yes and no.

What you get is OnlyFans, and people are still figuring out the morality around it.

This site is only four years old, and it grew wildly in 2020, now counting more than 90 million users and a million content creators. It is the latest disruption in the social media landscape, but also in the adult entertainment industry.

That’s right, if you are younger than 18, you can’t get in, so that leaves around 30% of TikTok users out. But still, celebrities are making millions, influencers and some regular folks are making a living out of it, and consumers are, well, spending money on it.

So, is everyone getting naked in OnlyFans? Let’s find out and try to understand what’s with the hype and the controversy. Welcome to Company Forensics.
