What do pop star Lily Allen, Olympic gold medal-winning diver Jack Laugher, tennis <br> <br> player Nick Kyrgios and 25-year-old Bonnie Blue from Nottingham, who has filmed herself having sex with hundreds of 18-year-old students (and sometimes their dads, too), <br> <br> all have in common?<br> <br> <br> <br> Yes, you guessed it. They are all ‘creatives' on OnlyFans,<br> <br> the adults-only online content provider founded <br> <br> in 2016 by a young Essex businessman called Tim Stokely, which is now one of the <br> <br> most visited (and lucrative) websites in the world.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Just last month, Lily Allen caused a stir by revealing that she makes more <br> <br> money charging $10 (£8) - the site works in dollars - for pictures of her feet <br> <br> on her OnlyFans account labelled ‘La Dolca Feeta' than she does from her 7.5million monthly listeners on Spotify.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> But Lily's content is tame in comparison to much of the content on the site, the sort company <br> <br> execs refer to as ‘spicy'. Everything from cheeky shots of bottoms peeking out of bubble baths, blondes stirring vats of steaming pasta in G-strings, hot men waxing cars in their pants, right through <br> <br> the sex spectrum to twosomes, threesomes, sixsomes and hardcore pornographic videos.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> But also because, thanks to the allure of OnlyFans and the astonishing sums that a teeny number of the platform's 4.1million creatives are raking <br> <br> in, more and more young women (and it is mostly young women) who <br> <br> would never have considered it before are suddenly happy <br> <br> to join in and sell photos of, well, pretty much anything,<br> <br> to pay rent, settle credit card bills or splash out <br> <br> on nice holidays. Basically, a flashier life all round.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> ‘We feel empowered. We have agency. It's completely up to <br> <br> me if I take my top off or not,' says one 21-year-old girl, who joined a year ago <br> <br> and makes enough in a week to cover a year's student rent at Sheffield University <br> <br> and prefers not to give her name.<br> <br> <br> <br> ‘And I am happy to do it because for once I make the <br> <br> rules, in the safety of my home and they're paying me to do it.<br> <br> It's a mug's game, but I am not the mug.'<br> <br> <br> <br> For the benefit of those readers who are not among the site's 305million users, OnlyFans <br> <br> offers creators a platform where they can charge their fans a subscription fee ranging from $4.99 to $49.99 a month to look at their content, contact them (or more often access their <br> <br> ‘chatter' - more of which later) and access often more explicit,<br> <br> personalised, ‘à la carte' content through ‘tips'.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <strong><u>OnlyFans model Bonnie Blue has filmed herself having sex with hundreds of 18-year-olds</u></strong><br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <b>Rapper Cardi B is said to make $9million (£7.1million) a month from the site</b><br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Actress Bella Thorne, a former Disney child star, made a record-breaking <br> <br> $1million (£800,000) in 24 hours<br> <br> <br> <br> ‘Pay $10 to unlock this video'. ‘Click here for more spicy content'.<br> <br> <br> <br> ‘The more you pay, the more you see'. You get the <br> <br> gist.<br> <br> <br> <br> In 2023, the site generated a record $6.6billion (£5.2billion), of which the company takes a straight 20 per cent - much less than YouTube - and the rest <br> <br> goes to the ‘performers'.<br> <br> <br> <br> It is unlike Instagram or other social media sites in that nothing <br> <br> is suggested - instead, you have to search for, and then subscribe <br> <br> to, individual accounts to see much more than profile pictures.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Which is a good thing, because while some of the content is anodyne, much is highly sexual and many people on the site can bob freely from one to another.<br> <br> Perhaps a cookery hack one day, modelling new boots the next, then graduate to a few cheeky cleavage <br> <br> and bikini shots and more, as the money becomes more tempting.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <b>Every week, it seems, we hear of someone who <br> <br> has made millions.</b><br> <br> <br> <br> Last month it was announced that American influencer Corinna Kopf had retired from the site,<br> <br> aged 28, after making $67million (£53million). In her best month, <br> <br> she reportedly earned more than $2million (£1.6million).<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <b>Rapper Cardi B is said to earn more than $9million (£7.1million) a month from the site.</b><br> <br> <br> <br> Meanwhile, Darcie Rattles was an out-of-work bricklayer with £6,000 in credit card bills and debts when she joined OnlyFans in 2022.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> ‘I was thinking: how the hell am I going to get to next week?<br> <br> <br> <br> How am I going to pay my credit cards?' she says in an online interview.<br> <br> <br> <br> ‘I'm young, I've got a good body and I've got a lot of followers.<br> <br> It is what any girl would turn to. It had been in the back <br> <br> of mind for two years, but then I did it.'<br> <br> <br> <br> Within two days of launching, she had earned <br> <br> enough to pay off her debts. Today, Darcie, who comes <br> <br> across as likeable, down-to-earth and has no qualms <br> <br> about what she shares, claims to earn more than £250,000 a year.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <u><strong>Pop singer Lily Allen has discovered a niche market...</strong></u><br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> ... she sells pictures of her feet for £8 and makes more money from her account labelled 'La Dolca Feeta' <br> <br> than she does from her 7.5million monthly listeners on Spotify<br> <br> <br> <br> <b>‘It doesn't matter to me whether I get my feet out, or my other bits out,' <br> <br> she says.</b><br> <br> <br> <br> Though it does tend to be the other bits, because <br> <br> Darcie's content promises very few clothes and, for those who pay extra, ‘a naughty <br> <br> side to me you've never seen before'.<br> <br> <br> <br> But even Darcie seems like the girl next door compared to Lily Phillips, <br> <br> a British model who earned £2,000 in her first 24 hours on the site and <br> <br> recently went viral for sleeping with 101 <br> <br> men over a 14-hour period. She has since announced she <br> <br> is planning to set a record of having sex with 1,000 men in 24 <br> <br> hours.<br> <br> <br> <br> And Bonnie Blue, a beautiful blonde with a golden tan and astonishingly white teeth, <br> <br> who has worked her way round Derby, Nottingham, Cancun and Australia, sleeping with university students.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> On one night during Nottingham Trent freshers' week - after publicising her stunt by wearing a sandwich board that read:<br> <br> ‘Bonk me for free and let me film it' - she had boys queuing <br> <br> up from 6pm until five in the morning.<br> <br> <br> <br> ‘I got through them all,' she said proudly in one interview in which she reminds us that, thanks to OnlyFans, she has already banked more than £3 million - for which she was applauded by her followers for her entrepreneurship.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> But all that is chicken feed when you consider the £370 million dividend that company owner <br> <br> paid himself last year.<br> <br> <br> <br> And these days that's Leonid Radvinsky, who bought a majority stake from Tim Stokely in 2018,<br> <br> two years after he started the business with the help <br> <br> of a loan from his father.<br> <br> <br> <br> It was the Covid-era lockdowns that thrust OnlyFans into the stratosphere.<br> <br> Everyone shut up at home, nothing to do. In 2020, it generated revenues of $2.23billion (£1.8billion).<br> <br> By 2021, it was up to $4.8billion (£3.8billion).<br> <br> <br> <br> There was a brief hiatus in October of that year <br> <br> when they tried banning sexually explicit content but that lasted <br> <br> about ten minutes before they switched back.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> There have been plenty of scandals along the way. A BBC <br> <br> investigation back in 2021 revealed that children were not just accessing the material online by foxing the <br> <br> age verification process but were also selling explicit videos on the website.<br> <br> Leah, 17, had used a fake driving licence to set up an OnlyFans account where she made £5,000 uploading revealing videos of herself.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> There have also been claims of OnlyFans creators using public gyms and spaces to make adult content.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <strong>Recently there has been more concerns that the <br> <br> company is not doing enough to protect minors.</strong><br> <br> <br> <br> OnlyFans, however, prefers to portray itself as a force for <br> <br> good, with supporters arguing that it empowers people by allowing them to <br> <br> sell content - over which they have full control - directly to consumers.<br> <br> And many of the Gen Z generation seem to agree. ‘It's fine.<br> <br> It's empowering. It's taking control,' they cry, pointing out that the <br> <br> site has loads of moderators and a tight security system to ensure <br> <br> that all users are over 18.<br> <br> <br> <br> <b>And they say, anyway, that OnlyFans isn't just about sex.</b><br> <br> <br> <br> Of course, they're right. It has long been awash <br> <br> with pneumatic reality TV stars and the likes of Lottie Moss, <br> <br> Kerry Katona and Katie Price, who are happy to tease their followers with a few cheeky peeks in skimpy <br> <br> bikinis.<br> <br> <br> <br> I spend an afternoon browsing the site and, while it is not all ‘spicy' content as the company executives <br> <br> like to call it, everything is dripping with sauce and promise.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> The big lips, the push-up bras, even the way a pretty Spanish chef is holding her paella pan. Company executives have been pushing hard <br> <br> to make the platform more mainstream - offering contracts and <br> <br> financial incentives to encourage musicians, sports stars, <br> <br> cooks, anyone really, to come on and share a bit of exclusive - or niche - content.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Really, anything that people will pay to look at - glimpses <br> <br> backstage at concerts. Celebrities in the bath.<br> <br> <br> <br> During the 2024 Olympic Games, a raft of athletes jumped on the OnlyFans bandwagon to <br> <br> share pictures of their beautifully toned bodies.<br> <br> <br> <br> Along with Jack Laugher, Team NZ rower Robbie Manson uses <br> <br> the site to share ‘exclusive content that tastefully <br> <br> explores the boundaries, including artistic portrayals of nudity' for $14.99 a month.<br> <br> <br> <br> British speedskater<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <b>Olympic diver Jack Laugher is among a number of sports stars using OnlyFans</b><br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <u><b>Reality TV star Kerry Katona has also teased followers with content</b></u><br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Lottie Moss  has also taken to the adults-only online content provider that was founded in 2016 and is <br> <br> used by 4.1 million creatives<br> <br> <br> <br> <b>Elise Christie turned to the site when she found herself in financial difficulties.</b><br> <br> <br> <br> <b>All of which seems to be working well for them, but it can be rather murkier for others.</b><br> <br> <br> <br> Not least because, in less than a decade, OnlyFans has spawned an entire support industry of ‘sugar daddies' who support performers financially <br> <br> and ‘chatters' who work for them. ‘Sugar daddies' tend to be older male businessmen who ‘invest' in promising creatives.<br> <br> In what are referred to rather murkily as ‘mutually beneficial deals', they <br> <br> invest in branding and marketing and videography <br> <br> to boost traffic.<br> <br> <br> <br> Chatters are different. For the real stars, the traffic is <br> <br> so high and the interaction with followers so demanding that if they had <br> <br> to do it all themselves, there's no way they would ever have time to put their pyjamas back on.<br> <br> <br> <br> So ‘chatters' - a sort of online 21st-century <br> <br> Cyrano de Bergerac - do that for them. Keeping them engaged, online, needy and most <br> <br> of all, spending, spending, spending for more <br> <br> and more content.<br> <br> <br> <br> Which means, of course, that the whole thing is a total scam.<br> <br> The poor daft subscriber thinks he's really making a connection with ‘Racy Tracey <br> <br> from Twickenham', but is more likely chatting to a middle-aged <br> <br> father of three from the Philippines.<br> <br> <br> <br> He will have learnt everything about Tracey - <br> <br> her favourite colour, favourite animal and favourite position - have studied <br> <br> a script that reminds him ‘it's all about selling, selling, selling', <br> <br> and will be being paid $4 an hour for his efforts. Or <br> <br> the subscriber could just be talking to an AI bot - which <br> <br> perhaps is more appealing.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Read More<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> EXCLUSIVE<br> <br> <br> <br> <u><b>A year after split, I've had a baby and got engaged,<br> <br> writes Mother Pukka ANNA WHITEHOUSE</b></u><br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Chatters can be dangerous. As Alanya, a paralegal from Scotland, discovered when she learned <br> <br> that one of her most enthusiastic followers had travelled to her home town to find her, encouraged by her chatter.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <b><u>‘My chatter told him that I loved <br> <br> him. I would never, ever have said that,' she said.</u></b><br> <br> <br> <br> But, sadly, chatters, sugar daddies and stalkers <br> <br> are not a problem for most creatives. Almost all of whom are still struggling to make any proper money, however many clothes they take off.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> They will never know the clout of Cardi B, or Lily Allen, or former Disney child star Bella <br> <br> Thorne, who famously made a record- breaking $1million (£800,000) <br> <br> in 24 hours when she joined in August 2020. (Though initially there <br> <br> was some confusion as to whether she would be appearing nude or not.<br> <br> She did not - which caused quite a rumpus.)<br> <br> <br> <br> Because, unlike celebrities who can redirect their <br> <br> existing social media followers to their OnlyFans accounts, most people find it hard to grab attention without doing something, well, grabby.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> So, despite all the tales of golden riches, the average earnings of an OnlyFans creative is still <br> <br> just $150 (£118) a month and, with the market now so flooded, is only likely to go one <br> <br> way.<br> <br> <br> <br> And it's easy to see how, if you're a young woman who has convinced yourself that you're in control, empowered and mistress of your own destiny,<br> <br> you could find yourself moving inevitably and inexorably up (or perhaps <br> <br> down) the scale, revealing more and more.<br> <br> <br> <br> Until, before you know it, like Bonnie Blue and Lily Phillips, you've kept <br> <br> nothing back for yourself.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> OnlyFansJack LaugherLily AllenNottingham<br> <br> <br> <br> my web-site :: <a href="https://Www.Pdc.edu/?URL=https://pugh-monahan-3.technetbloggers.de/khwaamngaamaehngkaar-amlaa-d-kaimngaansphthiielaaeruue-ngraaw">คําติดพวงหรีด</a>
