Isn't that the same as taking overtime as an employee? They are working for the benefit of OF. It's like saying a factory let's you assemble phones and if you want to make more money assemble more.

No? Of course it isn't. They allow you to sell your content and take a small cut for giving you access to the platform. Just like eBay takes 10% of every sale for you know....letting you list your stuff on their website.

I literally can't see how it's even remotely comparable.

If you want to make more money on eBay, list more items on eBay. If you want to make more money on OnlyFans.....list more content on OnlyFans. Or move to a different platform, or make content that people actually want to buy.

Onlyfans is a service not a content provider or media company.

What you are suggesting is akin to Shopify, Etsy or eBay paying a minimum wage to sellers.

If you really want to stick to that analogy, it's more like a makerspace that lets rent their facilities and webshop to make and sell your own phones, and takes a cut from your profits.
