How does ONLY FANS actually work?

First you create YOUR OnlyFans account and providing your credit card info, then you can subscribe to someone's account. OnlyFans will rebill you every month until you cancel. Some people have multi-month plans at a discount.

There is no connection at all to Twitter or Instagram, other than the fact that many "providers" use Twitter to advertise their "wares," since OnlyFans does not allow previews on its site.

You have to go to the site, www dot OnlyFans dot com, search for the person’s username, and then sign up. That means you submit your PayPal or credit card (etc) info.

You have to remember to cancel it —if you want to — because it just automatically renews each month.

Most of the performers are around $9 a month. You pay that $9, you have access to all their content for 30 days. If you’re not satisfied, you can cancel it at any point in the 30 days. Your subscription will remain until those 30 days are up.

[quote] And, finally, is it true that OnlyFans will not be allowed any sexual content soon?

This is not true

Onlyfans sucks. No working search function, no browse function, offers only one payment method, randomly blocks or deletes accounts, cheats performers out of their earnings. Unless you want to subscribe to a specific performer whose explicit content is only to be found on onlyfans, I'd strongly recommend boycotting this shithole of a company. There are so many other platforms that seem much more user-friendly.

[quote]That means you submit your PayPal or credit card (etc) info.

You can't pay for OnlyFans (or any kind of porn) via PayPal.

[quote] You pay that $9, you have access to all their content for 30 days.

Can you download all of their content or is it streaming only? Most porn sites like Sean Cody let you download everything.

R6 Streaming only but there are workarounds that. Search Google for how to screen capture a video, and you'll be able to "download" as much content as you like. The only caveat is that you need to be a subscriber to get access to this content. However, torrent sites routinely have random OF and JFF content readily available for download.

I don't get how all these accounts seemingly succeed when so few offer any kind of previews. Am I missing something?

My tip is to cancel your subscription to the performer right after subscribing. I always forget I subbed to the performer by the time the 30 days is over, and I wonder what whore caused the random charge to my card a month later 😁

“an” Onlyfans

By screen capture, do you mean recording it in real time? That’ll take forever. Any workarounds that will just download the videos?

How do you cancel? Where do you that?

And do I cancel on Twitter, Facebook or what? I once posted on my Facebook that I wanted to cancel and was still charged.

[quote]The account I was following suddenly seems to have disappeared. Is this a common occurrence? As I said above, I was following it on Instagram but now I'm getting a notice the account doesn't exist.

Social media accounts disappear all the time, especially instagram accounts belonging to adult entertainers. Unlike twitter, instagram doesn't allow explicit content and will remove users who violate their very strict community guidelines. But the person could also have been blocked for other reasons (like following too many people in a short period of time - seriously), or spontaneously deleted their account (sex workers aren't exactly the most stable people, and sometimes just disappear without warning...).

However, you'll also get that 'account doesn't exist' notification when someone has changed their username and you enter the url belonging to the old username. You could check your 'following' list to see if he's still there under a different name.

Sorry about the PayPal mixup upthread… I couldn’t remember which pay’t method I’d used and just assumed it was PayPal.

R8, they succeed by aggressively promoting their OF pages on twitter. Also, many of the successful creators did studio porn before launching their OF, so they already had a fanbase.

That said, I bet 80% of 'content creators' have zero subscribers, another 10 - 15% have just a handful, and only about 5 - 10% can comfortably live off their earnings.

So I just went to Subscriptions on Only Fans and saw my account. There was a message that the particular subscription had expired (not sure why - maybe I hadn't used it in over a week?) and I was given the option of Resume or Dismiss. I chose Dismiss cause I want to cancel. Did I succeed in canceling? Will I no longer be charged?

[quote] Any workarounds that will just download the videos?

On Firefox, click Ctrl + I. Then click on "Media" on the top of the window that pops up. Then sort by "Type". You'll find the video url there. Copy the url into your browser. Right click and save the video.

r13 Why on earth would you think you could cancel an OnlyFans subscription on Facebook? You cancel on OnlyFans. It's very easy. And I always set a reminder on my calendar and few days before a subscription is about to renew to remind myself to decide whether I want to continue or cancel.

Downloading of videos is easy -- there are apps that make it simple.

There are other options like Just4Fans that are a lot more user-friendly and offer previews. But OnlyFans is the major player and has the most content. Providers often have accounts on multiple platforms.

OnlyFans is the Etsy of porn.

r20 So what is the Etsy of Rentmen? Or the Aldi or Walmart or Ebay of Rentmen?

I think onlyfans has trailed off. It doesn’t seem to attract the hot guys anymore. Maybe there is some new thing out there. But onlyfans seems like it’s dried up.

“The account I was following suddenly seems to have disappeared. Is this a common occurrence? As I said above, I was following it on Instagram but now I'm getting a notice the account doesn't exist.”

They blocked you.

Op, it sounds like you need to go back to the beginning of the internet and work your way to present times.

I subscribe to Colby Keller on Onlyfans, but I only sign up maybe every 8 months or so and right after paying for the month I hit cancel so that It won't automatically renew, but you still have the 30 days to watch all the content...... and 30 days is enough to catch up on what most people have posted in a year.

Unfortunately Colbys account isn't that great since so much of it is just him filming himself fucking or getting fucked, so lots of messing around with the camera, horrible angles, stoping, starting, less than one minute video clips. His studio porn is a lot more fun and sexy.

Porn has jumped the shark and made everyone immune to sexual responses which is why people have to have sex outside with a group just to get aroused anymore.

LPSG has an informative category about which OnlyFans are worth subscribing to. Gay porn torrent sharing sites can also give you a good overview of how much content is out there for particular guys you are interested in.

Yes, there are a lot of hot guys who think all they have to do is upload a single ten seconds clip per week to get some desperate fags to subscribe for, like, 20 bucks a month. But there are also others who do provide good content and a decent amount of it.

How do you find people on Onlyfans if you're not searching for a specific porn star. Do you just put muscle jock or black thug in the search bar?

[quote]Do you just put muscle jock or black thug in the search bar?

lol is that what tickles your fancy r28?

Most people find guys on Twitter or other social media and the guys have links to their Onlyfans accounts and shill them constantly.

Even if you're looking for a specific guy and know what name he most likely uses, you might not find him on Onlyfans. As I said upthread, the search function is pretty much unusable. It seems incapable of processing first name + last name at the same time. Plus, there are NO filter options. If the guy you're looking for uses one of those 'unisex' first names like Taylor or Skylar, you'll have to scroll through hundreds (thousands?) of female performers to find him. And it gets worse. Some accounts can't be found at all, although they're very much active.

The biggest joke however is that you have to subscribe to at least one account to be able to use the search function. And no, it can't be a free account.

OnlyFans can die already for all I care. Fucking useless shithole of a website.

Like an afternoon matinee, Rose.

You see porn stars complaining about OnlyFans all the time, and I'm getting so tired of it.

'OnlyFans just blocked my account AGAIN'

'OnlyFans claims I'm underage although I'm not!!'

'OnlyFans owes me money!!!'

Yeah, we all know that website sucks. Move your content to another platform already, or shut the fuck up and find a real job.

[quote] How do you find people on Onlyfans if you're not searching for a specific porn star.

You could wait for DL posters and shills to start a thread about a model you might fancy. Just search DL for OnlyFans, ho, Twitter, Instagram.

Have never spent a single second on OF and never will.

A friend of mine (ok - he's a friend w/benefits) keeps telling me I should be on Only Fans due to an (ahem) "unique" set of physical characteristics. He claims I'd make a fortune. How does Only Fans work for the performers? I assume they get a cut of the take after a ton of fees are taken out. So they get maybe 50%? More? Less?

r35, we'll need pics of said "unique" set of physical characteristics, in order to advise and provide more information!

[quote] I should be on Only Fans due to an (ahem) "unique" set of physical characteristics.

Enormous moobs are not unique, unfortunately.

R36, same friend suggests I sell my used size 13 shoes on some Japanese foot-fetish website.

r38=Peggy Hill

r28 As far as I know, Onlyfans does not have a way for you to discover new guys in any organized way or see what's inside most accounts before subscribing. People usually subscribe after seeing promo posts on Twitter (you can look up a guy's name which is usually the same name as their twitter handle, then click on "media" on twitter profile so you can watch their clips without scrolling through their typed tweets/retweets).

or people see clips or full videos on porn sites and want to get full access to all the guy's videos

Maybe they don’t want to clipped for promoting prostitution or the productions that were filmed in unlawful states. They are walking a thin legal line and all it would take is an ambitious prosecutor in a state to go after them.

A lot of performers use a site called All My Links wherein they provide links to all of their social media accounts, as well as links to their pay sites like OnlyFans, Just4Fans, etc. See the example I've linked. (It's Rodrigo Amor's; he has OnlyFans (2 of them), Twitter, Instagram, Pornhub, XVideos, etc.

Does he have “a” LinkTree?

LinkTree example.

r42 Onlyfans performers starting using those Allmylinks sites mostly because you cannot directly link porn to Instagram...Instagram will flag your account if you link directly to Onlyfans from there

r41 Onlyfans is not based in the US so Im not sure how that would work...the main threat to OF is the credit card processors saying they will not process payments for the site, we've been discussing that here for some time.

R38 We need feets photos, please.

and any other "unique" parts

Can you be an on camera performer but not show your face? Wouldn't a background check reveal you had an account? That might fuck up things in the future.

A lot of hoes are having Black Friday sales 🎄

Link to the sales?

There is a ginger bloke from UK, he had a brief appearance on some reality tv, 10 mins in one episode from what I heard. He set up an onlyfans page, and guess how much he made in 3 months?

$70,000

He is just an average guy and a construction worker or "builder" as they call him in UK, but his onlysfans payout easily beat out tons of better looking fitness guys and influencers. So there is definitely an opportunity on onlyfans, If you got it right, you can make some money.

R50 are you talking about Calum from Bromans? There was some interesting stuff from his Snapchat? that came out a long time ago, with him messing around with other guys in locker rooms and grabbing dicks, but nothing really sexual.

Ginger Cal (Cal Ancrum)

Bryson Kyle probably made half a million in his first year. He's cute, but nothing special. Jump in.

R54 yes that's him, I think his friendly buddies is the reason why his onlyfans worked! You get to see them shower together messing around, there was no sex or anything sexual, but clearly that's what fans want to watch, just naked "straight" guys being themselves.

^ There was one clip where he was grabbing and playing with the dick of some huge mountain of a man, and it looked like he wanted to suck it so bad. He seemed in awe of it and got really close. At one point, I think he used it as a microphone. The giant didn't seem to mind at all .

Eww, he ugly.

What does Nick Pulos offer at OF that you don't get from his endless Insta posts?

Nudity, blowjobs, fucking. Of course you can also get some of them for free on sites like MyVidster.

R60 are you that dumb?

Not really really. OnlyFans is saturated now because everyone is looking for big, fast and easy money now. It’s like YouTube in the earth 2010s

Anyone paying for this shit is dumber that a turd.

[quote] Why on earth would you think you could cancel an OnlyFans subscription on Facebook?

You haven’t figured out that this is a windup yet?

re: R54

wait until the time ends in a 7 or 3 eg 2:03 2:07 3:43...

[quote] Porn has jumped the shark and made everyone immune to sexual responses which is why people have to have sex outside with a group just to get aroused anymore.

R26 that tells us way more about you than people in general.

As has been mentioned, there are FAR too many OF guys who post just basic stuff on their sites, but then try to upsell you on individual videos that you have to pay for. For example, the site might just have nude photos and some short solo videos, but for a "small fee" you can get a longer video with harder stuff, like man-on-man action. I've fallen for that a few times--usually when the guy has a sale, like $5/mo -- but then I just download everything and cancel after the first month. It's annoying when you can find the extra-cost videos for free on torrent and aggregation sites, but you can't get them when you're an actually subscriber.

Content creator here. I deleted my OF page after they threatened to change their TOS. Fuck them, they hate sex workers, despite the fact that we brought their platform into the public consciousness and made them millions of dollars.

Most performers are leaving OF or uploading content to other platforms (LoyalFans, ManyVids, AVN, iWantClips, and my favorite one : CumRocket). Some of those websites host clips that are available to purchase without a subscription.

Now I'm on Fansly, which I prefer. It allows you to follow a performer without paying a monthly subscription, giving you access to some free content. Some performers offer subscription tiers, although I can't speak to that b/c I only have a $5/per month thing.

For those of you who don't want to commit, I'd recommend following your favorite performers on Twitter. Lots of content creators advertise a premium Snapchat or tip menu, so you can just send them $$$ directly via CashApp.

And to the poster considering becoming a OnlyFans model, do not be fooled: it is a FULL-TIME job. I spend at least two hours a day on Twitter and Reddit, uploading content and promoting my pages. You have to post every day or you will lose fans. The most successful performers are superstar marketing experts who are consistent and posting all day.

[quote] They blocked you.

Not necessarily. The guy could also have deleted his account or changed his username.

[quote]Most performers are leaving OF or uploading content to other platforms

GOOD! Fuck OnlyFans. I'm glad whores are leaving for more user-friendly sites. I'm almost certain my favorite performer is on OF, or was at some point, using either a variation of his porn name or a completely different name, but it's impossible for me to find him.

[quote]I spend at least two hours a day on Twitter and Reddit, uploading content and promoting my pages. You have to post every day or you will lose fans. The most successful performers are superstar marketing experts who are consistent and posting all day.

I don't know how others feel about this, but personally I get a bit annoyed when a performers posts TOO much. Sure, consistency is important, but more than 2-3 posts a day seem excessive to me, and I hate when performers retweet the same clips or comments over and over again.

I think I'm the poster who somebody answered with : they blocked you.

Can't imagine why this OF guy would block me as I was a paid subscriber and don't know him personally. I do wonder if he simply deleted his OF account as he also had a linked Instagram account that would usually have a new photo of him as a preview of the upcoming OF action. But he hasn't posted a new Insta photo in a couple of weeks and when I click on the link for his OF account it says "this page doesn't exist".

[quote]I do wonder if he simply deleted his OF account

That's the most likely explanation. Happens all the time. I have a thing for this one former porn actor who made at least 2 attempts at launching an OF page, but never went through with it. One is still there (empty), the other one got deleted. Okay, your case is different as the guy had already posted and maybe had a lot of followers... but still, as has been mentioned before, porn actors are often unstable and impulsive. They tend to disappear all of a sudden.

If you want to know for sure, give us the guy's OF name. If everyone else can still see his account, you're blocked, otherwise he deleted it.

The guy's OF account is under Casey Carlisle Cooper, r73. Or maybe under @caseycooperofficial

Please let me know if you find it still operating. TIA!

lol, just open an incognito tab in your web browser and visit his onlyfans, this is so damn easy to find out he blocked you or not, you guys don't know how internet works?

DLers' technological Ludditery is one of the charms of this place, R75.

his username is caseycooperxxx on onlyfans

Actually, just went to OF and he's there. Maybe because I'd always get to his OF account via Instagram and he's simply left Instagram? Could that be the issue?

The instagram account @caseycooperofficial doesn't exist, R74, nor does w w w. o n l y f a n s. c o m/caseycooperofficial.

I should have read the other answers first. I'm guessing the @caseycooperofficial instagram account got deleted for 'violation of community guidelines' (in other words, too much nudity).

[quote]too much nudity

That's un-possible!

40% off!!!!!!

R69, What would you say is the most popular alternative to OnlyFans right now?

btw the guy at r42 is one hot fuck. Too much TS stuff for me but he a hot bi guy to watch

Of course, people are now snatching the vids and putting them on free sites (NSFW).
