Technology always helps to make revolutions much faster, sometimes even drastically. The discovery and use of electricity, fuels, electronics… All of this has brought great advances, but surely we have to stop at one of those most recent inventions to understand the great turning point that has supposed. We speak, of course, of the Internet, which is nothing more than the consequence of the technological and electronic advances of recent decades. An open window to a new virtual world that is gaining more and more ground on the “real” world. A place where we can be entertained, informed and communicate with others, wherever they are. Share our experiences on social networks, become world stars or even sell our intimacy, generating a real fortune. The Internet brings out the best and the worst of human beings and puts them in front of us, so that we cannot stop looking.
The net has also been a very important revolution for the whole world of culture. Neither music, nor art nor cinema are the same since one can download any audiovisual content through this tool. So much so that we have even completely changed our life habits. Before we used to call to find out what was happening to our friends, now we just have to send them a message. We stayed up until so many waiting to see that series that we liked so much, and that now we can see on demand, at any time. We even currently flirt over the Internet, through apps and so on. All these changes have had a notable impact on our lives and we can notice them on a daily basis. The revolution has also reached the world of porn, which has seen how its industry had to change every decade to adapt to everything new that was emerging. Now movies are no longer shot, only scenes, and porn actresses can become real influencers. But if there is a revolution that is marking pornographic content in recent times, that is the appearance of Onlyfans.
A new sexual platform
Surely you have heard about this new platform, a social network created a few years ago as a way to connect content creators with their followers. Something similar to Patreon, only in a much simpler way… and with a very explicit touch, as we have seen over time. And it is that Onlyfans is not really born as an explicit sex platform, not even erotic. Any creator, whatever they do, can be part of this community, and in fact there is much more than erotic actresses and models. However, this content has been taken over practically with the entire platform, engulfing what Onlyfans means today. Having an account on this platform is synonymous with creating adult content, be it more or less explicit. And that is something that, although it is controversial, allows users to know very well what they are going to find.
Erotic models with millionaire earnings
Onlyfans is a kind of Spotify of porn, since it has managed to get rid of all the intermediaries in the actress-consumer relationship. Today, any girl can open an account on the platform and create content on her own. Without production companies, without studios, only with their own mobile or with a more or less professional camera. By uploading this content, the girls can earn a lot of money, through subscriptions, always for the same amount, that they put on their profiles. The more subscribers they have, of course, the higher the earnings. But the work remains the same: upload erotic content, be it for 10 or 10,000 people.
Onlyfans soon began to fill up with girls who worked in the eroticism industry and porn. Models and actresses who were looking for an alternative to the usual work with production companies, and have found a direct path to higher earnings. In fact, the most popular 1% of the platform may be earning close to 100,000 euros a year thanks to this content. The most popular girls, such as Amouranth or Mia Khalifa, far exceed these figures and are capable of obtaining even millions of dollars a year. And everything in a simple way, from home, on their own and deciding at all times what they record, how they show it and how they expand it. A job that undoubtedly has a lot of effort behind it, but that is worth it for the fortune that they are capable of earning. If you have a subscription to your content worth $20, and you only have 1,000 subscribers, the amount you earn per month is stratospheric, including the platform’s own commission.
An intuitive and very accessible design
Although people come to Onlyfans through the social networks of the girls who are promoted here, part of the success of the platform lies in its design. In fact, this could not be simpler, giving full prominence to images and videos. The text is minimized even in the descriptions of the models, and the background is a radiant white. For not having, there is not even filter for searches. Only one option to log in and another to manage our account, in addition to the technical support option. Nothing more. Whoever comes to this platform always does so through an external link, because they have met the girl on some social network and want to see her racier content. In this way, the user finds what he is looking for from the first moment.
There are no categories, no filters, it’s as if there were no Onlyfans main page… Or rather, as if it was almost never visited, because it exists. If we enter through Onlyfans.com, the first thing we must do is log in or create our account. For this we must be of legal age, because the content of the accounts is sensitive. Once inside we will run into the profiles that we have already visited, and some related. There are no highlights, no advanced search… The platform knows very well that visitors come “from outside”, and does everything possible to convince users to stay… paying, of course.
The new era of porn… and prostitution?
Onlyfans has brought about a brutal change in the creation of pornography and erotic content. Something that many are still trying to assimilate, because it shows that users are willing to pay to see this type of content. It is about offering them something of quality, something exclusive and intimate, where they can have a closer relationship with their favorite erotic model. And it’s not just about uploading photos or videos, but also chatting exclusively with subscribers, sending them special gifts, even offering them special rates for personalized videos… According to a recent research article, some Onlyfans girls have also considered the have sex with your subscribers in exchange for a significant amount of money. Is this prostitution? The thin line that separates it from porn is becoming more and more blurred…
