OnlyFans, the subscription platform known for adult content, has decided to prohibit users from posting adult content. Yes, you got it right. The company is banning pornography starting October 1st.
OnlyFans is used by many porn stars and sex workers who use this subscription platform to sell explicit content to fans. During the pandemic, the platform became quite popular and clocked more than 130 million users. Several models used this platform to make money for exclusive access to photos and videos.
While most creators on the platform use it to offer nude photos and videos, the comet wants to tract musicians, fitness instructors, and chefs like creators. Now the company wants to change its reputation for growth and to raise money from outside investors.
“In order to ensure the long-term sustainability of the platform, and to continue to host an inclusive community of creators and fans, we must evolve our content guidelines,” OnlyFans said.
The company will initially send warnings to users who have posted sexually explicit videos and photography. If the creator fails to remove content even after three warnings, the account will be banned.
OnlyFans is also launching a new streaming platform and app called OFTV on which creators can share video content. This platform could be launched as early as next week.
