  I’m fairly convinced posts like this are sponsored by these platforms to trick young women into joining, as they need an endless supply of new “content” when people get bored of the popular models. That fetish site “Feet Finder” did that a lot, they sponsored tens of thousands of TikTok creators to pretend they got rich selling their feet pictures, when in reality, the people joining the platform were never paid.

    Yeah, the money those few lucky ones make is chicken shit compared to what the platform owner makes.

      My partner was in the top 99% of performers on onlyfans for several years (according to onlyfans’ metrics, which actually are surprisingly accurate since it involves reporting financial information). At the peak she was making about $100/month. The number of people who actually make any substantial amount of money on that platform is shockingly low.

        You probably meant top 1%.

      The owner is a billionaire, so literally 1000x as much of her.

    Yeah exactly, the person that can actually make $1 million on the platform is rare, and often artificial (companies tweak the algorithm to make some users extra successful for these kinds of headlines and promotions). They’re just marketing and luring talent.

  Especially since it isn’t true.
