Only Fans is a platform that saw a very upward trend during the pandemic, especially since people were working from home and “could” make an extra penny. Criticized by many and viewed as a platform for sex workers , Only Fans is a “pay for content” type platform where creators are remunerated for a certain type of content. As for the type of content there, it is at the individual’s discretion.
Because we are talking about a phenomenon that grew very quickly, let’s see what it means to “work” on Only Fans and what would be the risks you are subject to.
1. The risk of revenge porn
Revenge porn involves sharing sexually explicit pictures or videos without the person concerned giving their consent. The materials can be made by the partner, with or without the victim’s consent, but they can also be made directly by the victim and sent to the partner, with the idea that he will not send them on. Most of the time the victim is put in real danger because the pictures and videos are accompanied by personal data: name, address, social media accounts, etc.
The purposes for which some resort to revenge porn differ, most often they aim to destroy their reputation or continue a failed relationship, but there are also people who want to obtain material benefits from this blackmail. OnlyFans policy prohibits the uploading of pornographic material without the consent of the individuals concerned, and it may be removed if the concerned individual sends an email to OnlyFans.
2. Can people identify you on OnlyFans?
To avoid being identified as such, try not to use your real name and not show your face or other distinguishing marks like tattoos and scars in your photos and videos.
Basically, if you don’t promote your account on social networks like Snapchat, Instagram, Facebook, no. Also, OnlyFans offers you the possibility to block IPs from certain areas.
When you do this, people in that area cannot access or subscribe to your account. However, you have to keep in mind that just like with video chat, people are often using a VPN from another country and can find you there too. There were not a few cases where people discovered their relatives on such platforms, by mistake. If these people are already subscribed to you, they will still be able to see your posts on the home page, but they won’t be able to access your account.
If you have a private account, you will be able to accept each follower individually, but even so there is a chance that some accounts are fake. Here it’s exactly like Instagram when you have private profiles.
