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.
Comment on I got into the wrong career lol

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%.

Sigh… No, I actually meant to write 99th percentile. Which is also wrong, and is entirely symptomatic of me being ‘an idiot’.

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