It's more like a Fermi estimate, but the inputs still probably aren't good enough to be meaningful. E.g., on other set-your-own-hours platforms like doordash, MLM pyramid schemes, and uber it's expected that 99% of the workers won't work more than a few hours per month (this is also a bad Fermi estimate -- could be off by 10x either direction). As a corollary, just taking the $145 and multiplying by 100ish (based also on your definition of full-time) could be a much better estimate for the earnings potential for somebody looking to seriously pursue OnlyFans.
Pendantic note: the point here isn't that $14,500 is a better estimate; it's that the magnitude of all the unknowns in trying to compute such a thing is so great that we can't even reach the level of certainty a Fermi approximation provides without more data.
