About OnlyFans
OnlyFans is a subscription-based content platform headquartered in London, England. Launched in 2016, the platform allows content creators to monetise their work by offering exclusive content directly to their subscribers, or "fans", in exchange for a monthly fee. OnlyFans takes a 20% commission on all earnings, with the remaining 80% going to the creator.
Although it initially gained traction as a general content-sharing platform, OnlyFans became widely associated with adult content, particularly explicit material created and shared by sex workers, independent models, and porn stars.
OnlyFans also hosts a growing number of creators in non-explicit categories such as fitness coaching, cooking tutorials, music, comedy, art, and sports commentary, highlighting its versatility beyond adult entertainment.
