OnlyFans is getting out of the pornography business.

The company will prohibit users from posting any sexually explicit conduct, starting in October. Creators will still be allowed to post nude photos and videos, provided they’re consistent with OnlyFans’ policy, the company said Thursday.

The changes are needed because of mounting pressure from banking partners and payment providers, according to the company.

“In order to ensure the long-term sustainability of our platform, and the continue to host an inclusive community of creators and fans, we must evolve our content guidelines,” OnlyFans said.

OnlyFans has attracted more than 130 million users by giving online creators a platform to charge their fans for photos and videos. Many of its most-popular creators post nude photos and videos, and it has been praised for giving sex workers a safer place to do their jobs.

But sex work still has a stigma. And OnlyFans is trying to raise money from outside investors at a valuation of more than $1 billion. The company handled more than $2 billion in sales last year, and is on pace to more than double that this year. It keeps 20% of that figure.

Send me simps bucks if old.

I have never been on there but my understanding was that OF was primarily a porn platform and them banning porn would be analogous to pornhub banning porn. Is there any other use case for that site other than this?

isnt nudity sexually explicit?

 

[West Texas CEO]

This is funny.

But another platform will spring up somewhere.

 

[badblue]

Step 1) Build business based on porn.
Step 2) Become popular because of that.
Step 3) Ban porn.
Step 4) ???
Step 5) Slowly die off while trying to stay relevant as the MAJORITY of the user base goes else where.

The Tumblr model. Bought for $1.1 billion in 2013, banned porn in 2018, sold for less than $3 million in 2019.

Apparently not. It seems that explicit stuff like masturbation and sex was always against the ToS but OF played dumb because $$$. Now that they are trying to expand and need investment they need to enforce the rules.

People don't see the bigger picture here. Payment providers and investors are doing this. Onlyfans doesn't have a choice.

 

[CherryFalls]

Im not sure making selling yourself easy, quick, and accessible for young girls is a positive for society.

 

[Pagusas]

hahahaha.... hahahahaa..... like I want to know what happened in that board meeting. Surely someone was like "you know if we do this we're all losing our jobs in 6 months.... right?"

I commend them for knowing this and standing by principle.... (after they likely have already been made rich from their exploits sense launch..)

Welp, someone will fill that gap quick

Edit, I'm late to the party DELETE

Always the pathetic payment providers.

 

[bati]

If OF goes no-porn they might as well sell the domain and become irrelevant.

 

[Hari Seldon]

They should probably sell to pornhub rather than try to attract legit buisness to a site known for porn.

 

[Sgt.Asher]

Time to start "individual devotees".

 

[TransTrender]

I have never been on there but my understanding was that OF was primarily a porn platform and them banning porn would be analogous to pornhub banning porn. Is there any other use case for that site other than this?

Right?

I don't get it.

But next up:
Twitch allows porn!

 

[thefool]

Simp economy is disgusting.

 

[Nikodemos]

Now that is what experts call a "thoroughly retarded move".

 

[HawksWinStanley]

 

[TGO]

I guess you can expect a lot of Pornstars that have gone Onlyfans only to return to the usual channels, and probably expect a flood of new pornstars as well.

 

[YCoCg]

They've made their multiple millions thanks to Sex Workers, they know it's a sinking ship once they ban porn but hey ho, onto the next platform.

 

[T8SC]

So those girls who recently got into it within the last year and have now got porn videos all over the Internet .. will need to go find a normal job with normal income but still have their pics/vids all over the Internet.


... I foresee some serious mental health/suicide stories cropping up over the next few years.

 

[Kimahri]

And just like that, millions of young girls and every employee of onlyfans will soon be out of a job, forced to live on the streets. Sad.

 

[haxan7]

Wtf are they thinking. Hoes ain’t got no loyalty. Them hoes gonna find a new platform

Haven't been on Twitch lately, have you?

 

[ForAcademicPurposes]

 

[triplestation]

now legalize hookers

 

[Jaysen]

In other news Only Fans is closing down.

 

[PleaseDontBanMe]

this is odd


this is like KFC banning chicken

 

[TransTrender]

Haven't been on Twitch lately, have you?

Hah, no I haven't, but I've seen the memes.

My joke was along the vein of 'now Twitch will allow fully explicit penetrating porn' instead of....whatever the fuck it is that's happening over there right now

 

[Ulysses 31]

Some clown at OF management:

 

[Armorian]

now legalize hookers

This is the way.

It's so stupid that in US it's illegal, this only creates black market with slave/traffick sex workers.

 

[AlteredForms]

There goes most of the community.

 

[Sub_Level]

Porn is still allowed tho?

Creators will still be allowed to post nude photos and videos

They're probably just saying no fucking. If I had to guess, at least half the explicit content on Onlyfans is softcore already anyway.

As for alternatives, there's already sites like LoyalFans and FanCentro. Thats not an issue.

 

[Maiden Voyage]

I’ve never been on there but isn’t porn the entire point of the platform???

 

[Fbh]

Weird move.
Kinda have to wonder, why do payment providers even care? If I'm offering a payment service and I get a small cut from every transaction, the hell do I care what is being bought? (as long as it is legal)

I imagine they are making a distinction between softcore pics of girls just posing nude vs sex, masturbation, blowjobs, etc.
