We’re all familiar with it even if we don’t have a name for it. It’s a phenomenon that has become so ubiquitous as to be unnoticeable as our media and media consumption has become both more intimate (the media is richer and we consume it alone) and incessant (the average American consumes 12 hours of media a day).

The man on the TV is talking to thousands or even millions of people, but I feel like he’s talking to me. In the 1950s, sociologists coined the term “parasocial” relationships to describe the feeling of intimacy between certain types of broadcasters and their audiences. It’s sex work native to the contemporary internet.

It best embodies the liberating commercial spirit (serving the full spectrum of human desire without prejudice) but also its worst tendencies (the bulk of the earnings go to the small pool at the top).īeyond the commercial disruption of traditional porn and sex work - a disruption COVID has only since accelerated - OnlyFans represents a shift or convergence between technology and sexuality. At the intersection of those two, OnlyFans is the most internet of the most internet. If Porn is ur-internet, influencers are a close second. īut if big numbers aren’t enough to get you to care, don’t fret. Piecing together some information put out in May and April of this year, OnlyFans is almost certainly a billion dollar company. While OnlyFans takes a 20% cut of gross earnings, it’s a far cry from a pimp.īut whatever you think of online sex work - and we can certainly talk about the negatives - the business is working. Sex workers can earn money safely from their homes away from violence and the police. In some respects, this is kind of the platonic ideal for sex work. Users aren’t buying or subscribing to content they’re subscribing to a person who in turn is responsible for sourcing their own demand and managing their own production. By moving from ad-based revenue sharing models (which more realistically turn into production for exposure with monetization elsewhere) to subcription, OnlyFans has turned porn “stars” into influencers. OnlyFans has collapsed the barrier between amateur and professional. The focus on direct monetization from subscriptions and upsells is a major departure from the “tube sites” that came to dominate internet porn over the last decade. In its marketing, OnlyFans never explicitly mentions NSFW content its website is plastered with information from/for musicians and artists. Ostensibly, OnlyFans is a platform for creative types to post content online and charge fans directly for access in the form of subscription fees, tips, and pay per view extras. It’s worth understanding better than you do right now. It’s an internet juggernaut at the vanguard of sex, work, and sex work. It’s a subscription porn site that is mechanically best likened to an online strip club.

It’s an endless font of cultural critique.
