As previewed by Bloomberg (here the original news) OnlyFans has in fact decided to say enough to sexually explicit content starting from next October of this year. The choice, as stated in the official communication, would have been made to ensure the sustainability of the platform and continue to host an inclusive community of creators and fans. This would consequently have forced the company to revise the content guidelines, as creators will still bea> able to post nude photos and videos, but provided they are respectful with the platform's new policy. The decision would also have been made following growing pressure from banking partners, as well as payment service providers: in 2020 alone, OnlyFans handled more than $ 2 billion in sales, a number that is set to double. by the end of 2021.
Launched in 2016, OnlyFans has always allowed all content creators to earn money thanks to the number of users subscribed to their channel. The change expected during the month of October will therefore be a heavy boulder for those who have learned to transform a passion into a real job over time, given the number of content creators able to earn considerable amounts. The idea, therefore, is that OnlyFans wants to shake off the subscription platform label focused exclusively on adult content, but that it can now also embrace a generalist audience (as also confirmed by the recent launch of a new app always by OnlyFans and free of nudity and sexually explicit content).
