I’m curious to know how Onlyfans has managed to thrive in the era of online free content and piracy.
I mean, why would anyone want to pay for pron when it is readily accessible or available?
And how has Onlyfans content somehow managed to escape being pirated (or has it being ripped and shared online too)? If it is being shared or is readily available, do most people not know they can also source this content free?
I suppose I’m just curious to understand the pron ecosystem and how onlyfans content has somehow circumvented the perceived pitfalls of piracy.

OF sells parasocial relationships
Exactly, people aren’t paying for pics, they’re paying to interact with the models
Which is honestly really fuckin sad when you think about it.
Not really, have you met people? Sometimes the distance of an internet connection is required to interact socially without crippling anxiety. At least here girls are getting paid to help these people instead of them going out and trying it in the outside.
The vast majority of the popular accounts are not run by the women on the profile. Most of them pay friends or agencies to manage the page for them, they simply show up to photo shoots every now and then and enjoy the easy money.
Pay a fckn Hooker omfg
Let’s not pretend that the customers are being “helped” here. They are getting a thing they crave, but that doesn’t mean they are personally benefiting
A few articles I’ve seen in my feed show how more successful ones hire essentially VAs to respond to messages and chat for $18+ hour. It’s really quite amazing.
And you’d need to convince the customer to share the pics to have a parasocial relationnship together.
If you’d ask for the pics based on “fuck the talent/artist. Let’s share those pics for everyone” they’d very likely respond with “fuck off”.
Some OnlyFans users think if they pay one of the content creators enough they will notice them.
True dat folk.
Ahh, the actually-pornographic version of begging senpai to notice oneself.
And how has Onlyfans content somehow managed to escape being pirated
It hasn’t. Just check torrentgalaxy.
Well I need to investigate this for, uh, important research purposes…
I just had some success on a website I found called influencers gone wild
Right you’re going to masturbate. Got it, thanks for sharing
You can take the Redditor out of Reddit, but you can’t take the Reddit out of the Redditor.
No problem :)
Really grind their gears and throw it up on OF as tribute
It’s master bait for people interested in the content!
You don’t even need to torrent it, there’s a couple of webpages that just have community uploaded only fans content. Like you can just lookup the person you’re interested in and most of their content is there for free
Literally in a Telegram group that uploads the entire content of 5 not yet uploaded creators every week. At least that’s what they adviertise andnhave so far delivered. “WHAT THA FUCK” “Holy shit, yo what’s the matter? Whats happened? What’s going on?” " THERE’S SO MUCH PORN”
Pretty sure it’s the same one I’m in, too. They also take requests, so if there’s anything they don’t have yet, you can just ask, and it’ll be uploaded for everyone within a few hours.
Link?
Can we get the link please?
telegram link?
Ah, the good old Soviet Union
Not a connoisseur, so take what I say with a grain of salt but… Isn’t the appeal of it, the significant personal interaction? You can’t get that by ripping a couple vods. The ability to live chat (and throw paid messages their way), and have them respond, seems irreplaceable.
Not much of a porn person either. But OnlyFans vs normal porn feels like shopping at your local store vs a big box chain
big box
I see what you did there.
I think this is entirely the reason…
And ultimately to be replaced by chatbots without them knowing.
That’s interesting. So the main attraction (so to speak) is the illusion of intimacy or personalisation. The actual pron just enables or caters to the illusion ?
If Onlyfans is pirated, though, it seems to miss the main appeal of it. Nonetheless, are there dedicated trackers or search engines for the content, and does the content also give an indication of the ‘personal’ interactions?
Not much difference between strippers and onlyfans models, just a computer. Both are just doing what it takes to get more money out of the simp.
Listen, OnlyFans isn’t porn. It’s something entirely different.
Let me explain. You remember when you first saw a porn vid and immediately envisioned yourself fucking the woman in place of the guy?
Well now, there is no guy. It’s just her. And she’s only interested in you, and she’s not just being naughty with you and surprising you with nudes (sometimes free ones - sometimes very naughty free ones), but she’s also asking how your day was and telling you good morning and good night every day to the point that you almost believe her when she says your dick is so huge and she wants it inside her…
You starting to get the picture? Porn is free because it’s porn. That’s not porn, that’s an experience.
This guy fans
If you’re looking for the website theres a megathread for that lol
Also sad and pathetic…
To be frank, I think the victims of the epidemic of loneliness that plagues our society is nothing to look down upon.
Why would you assume I was talking about the people? So you could pretend to be superior somehow? I was saying the same thing you claim to be.
I’ll be honest that’s the way I read it too, probably because that’s the general response you tend to see.
Calling people pathetic for looking at porn is pretty much textbook “pretending to be superior”…
Glass houses or what have you.
Except I didn’t call them pathetic, you chose to read it that way. The actual words don’t say that. Which won’t mean anything to you as you’ve already demonstrated your inability to understand.
Autistic take tbh
Akschually…
OnlyFan contents are pirated and shared on a daily basis as any other media. But because there are not many requests for it (also since consuming directly on OnlyFan hits differently, as you talk with the actual girl), and in part because of NSFW nature, you will find them only if you actually search for them.
Sure thing, you will never encounter this kind of content on common NSFW websites 😁
i’d be surprised if you’re actually talking to the actual person making the content and not an assistant they pay to manage DMs & “fan” interactions.
Src: a friend is an OF creator who has shared that a lot of the creators usually pay for some sort of account management service after a certain level of notoriety.
I agree 100%, most messages are just bots, and now with the surge of AI it will be much harder to distinguish a real person from a computer.
There’s frequent dumps of OF pages on 4chan, OF oiracy is very well alive.
on 4chan?
Parasocial relationships and extremely niche content. Many girls will do specific roleplays. You want a girl to fart on a cake while calling you James Baxter? Someone will. Hell, someone probably specializes in it.

OnlyFans is hugely pirated. But they will do well for two reasons. The first is that their service is good and easy. The second is that customers know that their money is motivation. Without their subscriptions, the models won’t make content.
Personalized and specialized content seems to factor into it.
Often it works out where someone pays a large sum for a specific piece of content. Afterward a gallery or video is posted for subscribers or individual purchase for much smaller sum, which gets pirated, but the real money is already kinda made.
This is based on a friend of mine relating how their sister makes a living off OnlyFans.
Most people are much more willing to pirate from a global megacorp than from an actual human person.
This. OnlyFans is the “farm to table” of the porn industry and people feel differently about stealing from a small family farm than they do from Walmart.
Also, beyond just the guilt aspect, that same “farm to table” principle also means that a lot of people see OnlyFans as a fair and reasonable exchange with minimal unnecessary exploitation. Paying a major porn company feels scummy and gross and may make you feel complicit with the various evils of the industry; subbing to an OnlyFans can feel more like a donation to a creator who makes content you enjoy.
I regret to make you aware of a comment above in this very thread from someone trying to do exactly that.
The piracy bugbear has been raised as the reason why corporations aren’t selling enough since mp3 was invented back in the day. It isn’t always the case. OnlyFans is pirated but the piracy doesn’t affect their bottom line enough to drive them out of business. If you think about it, lots of pornography on the internet is free, and they’re still okay. It’s a much more nuanced discussion than “piracy is stealing” than the corporations want you to think it is.
Edit: if I had to guess, the niche they serve or the value they add on top of “just porn” is something their customers are willing to pay for.
Ah that actually makes a lot of sense.
You don’t pay for the porn, you pay for the interaction, seeing a different side of a public person or for the feeling of knowing a secret.
Btw just to make sure, I am not being ironic here I actually never thought of it that way.
Way further back than MP3’s even. The music industry had a whole ad campaign about how cassette tapes were going to kill music when they came out lol. Then they freaked out again with DAT tapes and then CD-Rs. Amazing how there’s still new music today…more than ever in fact.
I have no idea about how that industry works, but I guess piracy is not really driving stuff out of business elsewhere either.
Most people don’t pirate. If piracy could drive companies out of business, gaming would be dead, especially indie gaming.
There is a lot of unique creators on OF and unless you have thousands of subscribers you probably aren’t going to be able to find pirated content easily. Also you can get custom content and talk directly to the creator . And from knowing people personally it’s alot more work than you think to make money on OF .
*talk directly to their content manager
Most smaller creators don’t have a content manager .
You sure about that?! 😂
And that is just a simple searchHere is a different site.

Why pay OF if you can grab a cheap street hooker near you? Same answer/question to pirate OF.
Edit: “cheap” means one which not represent a lot of your income depending on where are you from and the ratio of the hooker.
Or better why not look for some sexy single mommys into your favorite dating app, you will have to spend some money too.
Never ever pay for OF porn or better any porn at all, it’s just smoke.
Support your local businesses.
OF won’t give you an STD
Being alive it’s a risk bud, if you are always afraid of death how will you enjoy life?
Edit: in other words, if you are afraid to die better don’t born.
Yeah ill just go back and check the “dont be born” box on my birthing documents
O wait
It’s alright, I see you in other threads, I’m convinced you’re a self-destructive dipshit.
