They aren't selling tiddies. They're selling limited access to a parasocial relationship.

A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Found him
Support your local sex workers!
What a coincidence, they all live within a mile of me!
They can make you cum with this one weird trick!
My OnlyFans model isn't like other models. Mine takes the time to talk to ME one on one.
OnlyFans is the farm-to-table restaurant of ethical porn consumption, imo.
Love me some cruelty free, fair trade, free range porn.
Hidden seems to be better.
I’m at my happiest when I’m making a video like putting a strawberry in my butt and pushing it out
Find a job you love and you'll never work a day in your life
First time hearing about it, but it sounds cool.
First time hearing about it
not surprising, given the incredibly stupid name...
Free porn is watching other people fetishes. Only fans is getting it fresh from the source personalized for you.
What do you mean personalised? Do people pay while making specific requests? Hard to believe given how much the biggest stars are getting paid.
Smaller stars have a small enough reach that they can cater to their smaller audience. Some more popular stars have tiers where if you pay enough they have 1:1 sessions with you and interact with you. I mean where on earth will you find someone to enact your fetish of pissing on a BiG O MegaDeaus covered in peanut butter in a dominant position wearing a purple strap on? /S
Showtime!
cast in the name of god ye guilty
If I give you another $75 will you start monologuing about tomatoes? Double if you'll do it while dressed as a giant tomato.
Oh my, yes.
unless you're swedish, where it's illegal to make requests on of.
That sounds like the most unenforceable law in the history of laws.
it's gonna start counting as prostitution, which is legal to practice but illegal to buy. of only counts when it's personalised, apparently. i have no idea how they think they're gonna do it.
Are you aware of the amount of free porn on the internet? No matter how weird the weirdest thing you can imagine, there's at least one website dedicated to it.
But what if your kink is personal attention?
Jokes on them, my kink is being left alone by absolutely everyone
Don't ignore me I'll cum
Don’t Hug Me, I’m Scared: Season Two
And how do you think that free stuff is made? They aren't doing it for free. Bang bros does have a paid for service. Many OF actors give free videos for "exposure"
Same reason strip clubs exist - some people need the social aspect. They want someone to pretend to be into them, rather than just get off.
The poor alloromantic bastards.
Not OF, but I am subscribed to an independent local porn company. They're ethical, they are authentic, they creative. I want them to thrive, I want more of those in the world
Coomers who are deluded into thinking it's the ethical way to consume porn as if onlyfans and others like it haven't been targeting and exploiting young women who feel they have no other option.
It's a job, dude. Same as any other. The vast majority of us are going to have to sell our bodies as labor in some way to survive. Choosing to make your money from OnlyFans is no more nefarious than making your money from McDonalds.
Nah McDonald's is worse. Lube washes off; fry smell, not so much.
The pornstars aren't the problem it's onlyfans that is the problems.
Yeah I never understood that one either. It’s shocking to me that enough people are willing to not just pay for porn, but pay directly for porn from one individual source that its become a viable and massive industry. Part of me thinks the numbers that these only fans stars claim MUST be inflated and they have money from family or something. But I’m basing that on vibes and nothing else so who knows.
I'd guess it's more that on onlyfans you can convince yourself that you're getting personal attention from the artist. It's a combination of creepiness with maybe a bit of loneliness.
On April 1, 2021, six days after her eighteenth birthday, Bregoli opened an OnlyFans account, earning over $1 million in revenue in the first six hours, including over $757,000 from subscriptions, $267,000 from message payments, and $5,000 in tips. She later demonstrated evidence of earnings of more than $50 million, which was initially met with skepticism. By September 2024, Bhad Bhabie earned $1,489,374 per month on OnlyFans and remained the highest paid creator on the platform, however by September 2025 she had fallen to 4th highest paid creator, earning upwards of $1.3 million a month.
Yes, it's a parasocial relationship. Basically, the consumers of this content are sort of getting a subscription girlfriend experience, which I guess is very appealing to men that lack the ability to attract women in the real world. It's kind of like men who go to strip clubs.
Yeah when you put it that way it makes sense. I’ve never been a strip club guy myself so I guess I just don’t get it.
That’s fucked up for so many reasons.
What you're seeing as "big stars" are really just the biggest outliers. I don't know how reliable of a source it is, but from here it says that the average person on onlyfans makes $180 per month, and that 75% of all the creators make less than $100 per month.
Another source I found that's a little more recent says that they're earning slightly more than that, but not by much.
That probably also factors in the creators that aren’t there for porn though right?
Just this evening had a coworker make fun of himself, he spent 279 bucks on a lifetime subscription to youporn.
We were all like, why would you even?
Because he's watched all the free videos ;(
Dumbest shit ever.
