#2I'm a mod on Reddit and in a few of the subreddits I moderate I see a steady stream of accounts promoting online sex work, like onlyfans. None of these subreddits welcome promotion or advertising... or for that matter NSFW content.
However, so many of these accounts advertise their sex work by posting content that ostensibly complies with the community rules but which somehow encourages other users to look at their user profile to find the NSFW content and then become shockingly objectionable when their content is removed, that we've been obliged to implement a blanket ban on all of that sort of account and now use a bot to find it.
I can't believe I've been subjected to the level of abuse I'm getting from people who are on average making less than $145 a month.

That's two or three weeks of groceries if you're on a budget. It can make a huge difference for some people -- especially the type of people who don't feel like they have any options but sex work. It's hard to blame them since OF is a relatively safe way to do it, too.

That's because they push spam to try to make the rumored 1000s a month.

which somehow encourages other users to look at their user profile
So, hinting that they're a woman on reddit?

Note that although OF claims to do (or may even actually do) identity verification, some of these may be bots using other people's photos and may be components of larger automated spam campaigns/platforms. $100/month multiplied by a large N can be good money. And a small percentage of the bot accounts might make a lot more.

exactly. For people in HN who probably make at least 6 figures on average, it's easy to forget that for many people, an extra $1.5k a year reflects a significant pay percent increase, like 5% raise.

#8> The median take-home revenue is $136 per month. If you value a creator’s time at a $15 minimum wage, the median creator needs to be spending less than 9 hours per month on her OnlyFans to break even.
> Relative to effort, it looks like most accounts lose money.
I guess you could assume that. But I'm not convinced without data. If you asked me whether I expect the median OnlyFans creator to spend more or less than 10 hours a month, I'd definitely guess less. I'd expect there to be a lot of inactive or barely active accounts.

#9Why those people are not treated as employees and paid at least a minimum wage?

How would that even work? Only Fans has no idea how much time these people are spending doing 'marketing' (spamming reddit)
