First Things First: OnlyFans Was Never an App
Let’s clear this up: OnlyFans is a website, not an app. Repeat after me: web. site. 📢 The confusion’s understandable — everyone talked about it like it was the next Instagram. But no, it’s a browser-based platform that rode the pandemic wave by offering creators a way to monetize anything, from fitness to… well, you know.
The Pandemic Boom: Empowerment or Exploitation?
When OnlyFans exploded in 2020, it was framed as a feminist revolution. “Women can control their bodies and bank accounts!” 🤑 And sure, some did — like the 1% of creators earning five figures. But let’s not ignore the men who thrived here too! Male fitness influencers, chefs, and even comedians cashed in. Yet media headlines focused almost exclusively on women, reinforcing stereotypes.
The real story? Economic desperation. With college debt soaring and minimum wage stuck in the 1970s, people — especially Gen Z — saw OnlyFans as a lifeline. Why grind for $7.25/hour when you could post content and maybe pay rent?
“It wasn’t about ‘empowerment.’ It was about survival.” 💔
Forbes 400 Paradox: How the Owner Got Rich While the Platform ‘Died’
Fun fact: OnlyFans’ CEO just landed on the Forbes 400 list. How? Simple: the platform takes a 20% cut from all creators. Even as hype fades, the top 0.1% (think Bella Thorne, Blac Chyna) still rake in millions. Meanwhile, the average creator now earns $180/month — barely gas money.
The takeaway? OnlyFans’ success was never about creator wealth. It’s a corporate cash cow built on systemic inequality.
The Real Villain: Shame, Not Sex Work
Let’s stop shaming creators. The problem isn’t sex work — it’s a society that shuns open conversations about labor and value. Nurses and teachers save lives but earn peanuts. Meanwhile, hedge fund managers get applause for moving numbers on a screen. 💸
OnlyFans became a scapegoat for our collective guilt. Instead of asking, “Why are young people turning to this?” we blamed them for “ruining their futures.” But when college costs $100K and entry-level jobs demand 5 years of experience, what’s the alternative?
The Decline: Hype vs. Reality
At its peak, OnlyFans promised “easy money.” Influencers flaunted Lamborghinis, but most creators struggled. Algorithms buried newcomers, and consumers realized paying $15/month for a stranger’s selfies wasn’t sustainable. Post-pandemic, the novelty wore off.
Key stats:
- 90% of creators earn < $1k/month
- Subscriber retention dropped 40% since 2021
- Top earners are mostly established celebrities
The platform didn’t “die” — it just stopped lying.

Why I’m Relieved (And You Should Be Too)
I’m glad the fantasy’s over. Why?
- Teens Aren’t Racing to Join
Girls used to count down to 18 to start an OF. Now, they’re pursuing coding, art, and trades. The “get rich quick” illusion has shattered. - Social Media Is (Slightly) Less NSFW
Remember when every viral tweet had 10 OF links in the replies? Now, my feed’s back to memes and DIY projects. Bless. 🙌 - We’re Talking About Systemic Issues
Instead of blaming OnlyFans, we’re finally discussing student debt, stagnant wages, and mental health. That’s progress.
Final Thoughts from Rundelya
OnlyFans wasn’t the problem — it was a symptom. A symptom of a world where we value profit over people, where “hustle culture” replaces safety nets, and where we’d rather shame individuals than fix broken systems.
To the creators still thriving: Get your bag, kings and queens! 👑 To everyone else: Let’s fight for a world where no one feels forced to monetize their body just to survive.
