What do ypu think of onlyfans?

[ChicagoGuy]

Many are now doing it, porn stars and escorts alike. Wonder if it will boost the escorting trade, dampen it or won’t really affect it.

I only became aware of it with this model. I didn't join. I first became aware of him as Elder Sorensen on "MormonBoyz".

I think it's a way to run up a HUGE credit card bill.....

Seems to me to be in the same vein as flirt4free....which of course is anything but.

 

Pass.

[phraughy]

Waste of money me thinks.

[+ Topseed]

I think it's bullshit.

It is another outlet for the boys to profit from their charm. Not my cup of tea, but I bet you there're plenty of boys cashing in abundance, and plenty of happy customers paying for the service.

[ChristianCronin]

I think it's a great concept. I also think most people will simply wait for internet piracy to deliver them all the contents of someone's OnlyFans page.

Vid/pic quality not knowable and highly variable. Ditto for number/quality/content of updates. Caveat emptor in a big, big way. One could spend a lot for very little.

When I consider possibly joining a page or two (I've recently fallen in serious lust with Griffin Barrows, who has an Only Fans page at https://onlyfans.com/griffinbarrows), but I wonder how their cancellation process goes - does it work well, or is it something where there are a lot of hoops to cancel? I'm a bit nervous if I decide to join a page where I don't like the model/types/frequency of uploads.

 

I have had in the past a site or two that I got a monthly bill for and the only way to fix it was cancelling that card. I don't get single or monthly subscriptions to a lot of porn sites as a result now.

I've already seen Only Fans clips of Austin Wolf & Justin Teen on Pornhub.

@Kurtis Wolfe Thank you. I had seen that. I was wondering if it actually works that easily. As I noted (and I should have mentioned I had read the subscription FAQ, you are perfectly correct in pointing it out), I have had some trouble with sites that offer easy cancellation and it doesn't actually work easily.

 

PS: I am always hoping you visit Nashville at some point

I've subscribed and subsequently unsubscribed to a few guys' OnlyFans pages. The process is very simple. You click an "Unfollow" button or click an icon that looks like a switch to turn off recurring billing and you no longer subscribe to the guy's content and are no longer charged for it. My beef, and this is OnlyFans' fault, is entire pages can take several minutes to load only to find that the content itself stops and starts. It seems their servers get overloaded. I read a post someplace that they are upgrading their server capacity, but until they do the people posting content and those who wish to access it will suffer.

I am sure they are struggling, their growing was explosive. It is a really good idea.

Depends on what you think the purpose of onlyfans is, for me.

 

I haven't found a frame of thought that shows a value for me, yet. It wouldn't be too onerous, except that I know that the site gets a portion of the fees, yet they do nothing for that content.

 

When I think of it as a site to follow someone I admire and like, I don't see where it is too much different from Twitter, except that I have to pay monthly for the pleasure of seeing the content.

 

When I think of it as a porn site for a particular person, the fee seems of lower value when compared to other sites.

 

When I think of it as a search engine/marketing tool, I don't see the business model for it.

 

If someone has found a good value for it, I'd love to hear about it.

[+ Lefty82]

Well, if you like one particular guy, porn star, etc., it certainly is a way to get a bunch of videos of him in one place for one price, instead of having to be a member of a bunch of different studio sites if they are a free agent or contract runs out, etc. It also cuts out all of the foreplay, and just gets to the good shit quickly. Just depends on what you like I guess -- personally, I love the concept and the content.

The fact that the high demand has shown down their servers speaks loudly of the high value many assign to the service.

Thank you! Makes me feel better - and much more likely to join a page or two.

 

I do wish they would put in how long the videos are. I don't want to pay for a lot of 2 second videos. But for some of the models, it would be worth it.

[MikeyGMin]

The concept is nice, but the results most likely aren't. At this stage, like many people I'm envious of the content of those that interest me, but not enough to spend my own money for it. Kind of like a movie, where I'll wait for it to make its way to free with some patience (if it's that good, somebody's going to leak it/ show it sooner rather than later).

The concept is nice, but part of the concept is getting more of the money directly into the model's hands. I'm not sure it's going to work in the long run as long as it is easy to pirate. It's discouraging for any model to see his work pirated, but can you imagine how it must feel to see something you create from scratch out on one of the free sites?

Why buy the cow when you can rent video of the milk cheaper?

[Jomo]

I've ordered it once. The "star" was sporadic as far as updates go. I also got a few pings from unauthorized people on my credit card. Deleted the only fans, and had to get a new Amex

They are not doing nothing. They host the content and in doing so they incur the expense of acquiring, configuring, operating, and maintaining the infrastructure required to power the site. Even if they use another company's data center, there is still an expense involved. They also process the payment on behalf of the individual whose content the member is buying, thus incurring another expense.

 

The content quality varies. There are some guys who post Instagram-type content and try to charge ten dollars a month for it, while other guys post a steady stream of adult content that is actually pretty good at the same price point. If each of the people who post to the site maintained their own websites the subscription cost per poster would be higher because they would bear the costs that Only Fans bears and spreads out among all its posters.

Credit card fraud is a huge pain in the ass. One quick note, though: they only accept VISA and MasterCard. They do not accept American Express or Discover.

Then it must have been my visa. I usually use Amex on online sites because of fraud
