They do viral marketing all the time. Go to any meme page and even some newspapers and you'll find "wow this mother who has an only fans is causing trouble at her school because other Dad's have been caught out!!! Dads! sign up here"

Watching people fall for their marketing is like being in a state of depression with the human race.

Telling your source of revenue that they're being removed from the platform, prompting many to seek other platforms, and absolutely destroying their confidence, is not a sane viral marketing move. I don't think they're that disconnected from reality.

This is like threatening to raise taxes to attract corporations.

Look at how many times youtube has pissed off creators. They have a monopoly and they know it.

OnlyFans will still be good money and still be able to attract new people willing to take their clothes off and cash in.

I think these are different.

Youtube content discovery is mostly through the algorithm. For OnlyFans, it seems to be mostly through outside promotion. If your ability find new members is all on you, I doubt it matters, as much, where you go.

No it really does happen its just not so common among older people, I know people who got in trouble with their gf because they were caught subscribing to the OF of some other girl they both knew. Only half the appeal is random people selling nudes, the other half is the hot chick from your high school class selling them.

I'm not debating that it happens. But who's paying to have these articles published and promoted? PR dept of OnlyFans is your only answer.

I'm sure OF would be willing to pay for the right kind of coverage, but this sounds a bit nothingeverhappens. If something is interesting/amusing enough then it will get articles about it organically.
