> And then, oh, turns out OnlyFans isn’t all about porn. Don't kid yourself. It's the thinnest possible deniability, like selling coca cola in sex shop and telling it's not all about porn.

Admittedly, I'm being a bit pedantic, but that's not quite right. OnlyFans does content-oriented subscription. Porn producers flocked to it because it didn't care whether you wanted to generate porn or other content, but that doesn't make it the equivalent of a "sex shop." It's more like a pawn shop that only ever sees people pawning their jewelry. Just because 99% of the stuff they have for sale doesn't make it a jewelry shop. Otherwise I totally agree, OF is synonymous with porn, full stop. It's a wonder they haven't been hit with the same restriction from credit card companies as sites like PornHub.

Haha yeah this was the jaw dropping part back when OF (temporarily) suspended porn and claimed they would change course and make OF more about getting private sessions with Gordon Ramsay types. Like, no, dude. For better or worse, OF has been permanently cemented in the public mind as being about cam girls and porn. No way are mainstream celebrities putting their brand within a hundred miles of that. This article is just a submarine trying to create the impression that his desired branding has already been accomplished.

You can easily get kicked off many sites without showing anything more extreme than gets put up in fine art galleries. Calling it all porn is often missing the intent. That said, porn tends to out compete other options on a platform. So if you allow porn you’re going to get a lot of porn and porn like content.

I was just summarizing the quote that followed, also taken from the article: > Under Mr Radvinsky's ownership, OnlyFans has flourished. It is no longer solely associated with pornography and some of its biggest creators only post safe-for-work content.
