Navigating Public Opinion: Running an Edgy Business
summary
OnlyFans says it hosts 3 million creators and 220 million fans, has paid out over $10 billion, and runs an 80/20 revenue split where creators keep 80%. The platform uses AI plus a large human moderation team to review every piece of content, requires 9–10 ID checks and tracks device IPs, works with an independent monitorship, and reversed a proposed adult-content ban after creator backlash. Built products include a safe-for-work streaming app (OF TV), an e-commerce integration with Spring, and continuous verification and law-enforcement-ready data; growth continues with no ad model.
