I'd love for you to expand on that opinion. In some ways I think it's a good product that gives some measure of control (and a _lot_ of the money) back to the people who star in and create pornographic content. The existing industry is exploitative and predatory, and from my admittedly not-very-well-versed vantage point, OnlyFans is much less so due to the very nature of its product and who its content creators are.

#4The BBC is really digging deep and far away from OnlyFans itself in order to try to generate the moral outrage needed to justify their puritan anti-porn stance. Most of this article seems to be about things that happen outside of the website or instances where users violated the terms of service.

This is an extremely generous view. It's well known that cam sites often feature trafficked victims. Why wouldn't you also assume that an OnlyFans is also run by a trafficker?
You cited yourself that the industry is predatory and exploitative. Do you honestly believe that most of these woman truly made this choice themselves?

Doesn't seem to be the case: https://mobile.twitter.com/aella_girl/status/133572526734025...
Has MLM level distribution where only the top 2% or so make anything of consequence.

Not OP, but IMO onlyfans is especially predatory because it makes it look easy to trade nudes for large amounts of cash. In reality very few people are going to be making above minimum wage, onlyfans is just like the rest of social media - a lottery that pays millions to a few winners and asks all the other participants to create content for next-to-nothing just to enter the lotto.

On one hand not requiring to go through a studio would make it easier for trafficking, but porn studios don't exactly have a fantastic track record when it comes to human rights.
On the other hand for individual content makers using this platform gives them far more control over the type of content they produce and a fairer share of the profit.

I’d posit that OnlyFans operates on the freemium video games model where a few select whales generate all their money. You just really need to catch one person who is into you.

#10I think that people need to understand that once they put themselves out there, especially in sex-fueled environments, they’re adding risk to their lives. They put their sex on full display and think “yeah this is totally fine” while it obviously carries some huge societal weight.
I’m not justifying their actions, but also don’t be surprised when they happen. The world isn’t perfect yet.
I don’t care much about OF, but I’m sure assholes send threats on any platform, and it’s not really a platform issue as long as they implement blocking and some sort of spam prevention.
