OnlyFans has its struggles, and is distasteful in many ways, but plenty of folks have their own businesses built on that.

It's a very rare business indeed that relies on no vendors, or only small vendors, if that is your standard.

It's more about whether you can substitute your vendors without deeply upending your business.

Unfortunately, I don't expect most porn stars to know how to get a static IP and set up a self-hosted website with payment processing.

Perhaps they should form a union, and let the union do that part.

It remains to be seen whether a sustainable business can be built on OnlyFans; it came very close to getting destroyed last year. And almost every other name in the sector is owned by MindGeek.
