My hypotheses: Some people want to pay creators, support specific individuals, or feel like they have a connection to someone in particular.

If this is what someone's discretionary budget is allocated to, more power to them.

This is a big part of it, at least in smaller communities.

People want to show their gratitude. It's more relevant to the Twitch conversations. OF is basically all paid members where twitch, the ratio is probably 20:1 or worse, free to paid.

The people who are paying are doing so because they want to, not because they have to. That's one big difference between Twitch and Onlyfans.
