I’m curious to know how Onlyfans has managed to thrive in the era of online free content and piracy.

I mean, why would anyone want to pay for pron when it is readily accessible or available?

And how has Onlyfans content somehow managed to escape being pirated (or has it being ripped and shared online too)? If it is being shared or is readily available, do most people not know they can also source this content free?

I suppose I’m just curious to understand the pron ecosystem and how onlyfans content has somehow circumvented the perceived pitfalls of piracy.

      Exactly, people aren’t paying for pics, they’re paying to interact with the models

          Not really, have you met people? Sometimes the distance of an internet connection is required to interact socially without crippling anxiety. At least here girls are getting paid to help these people instead of them going out and trying it in the outside.

        And you’d need to convince the customer to share the pics to have a parasocial relationnship together.
        If you’d ask for the pics based on “fuck the talent/artist. Let’s share those pics for everyone” they’d very likely respond with “fuck off”.
