As reports of the arrest hit international media, you may be wondering about OnlyFans — like, “what is it?”

OnlyFans was founded in 2016 by British tech entrepreneur and investor Timothy Stokely in London. OnlyFans is a place where content creators, like Clenney, can offer exclusive content for their target audience and get these people to pay premium prices to view, according to Influencer Marketing Hub.

In effect, creators can lock their content behind a paywall, allowing fans access for a monthly fee or a one-off tip, according to Influencer Marketing Hub.

You can sign up for an OnlyFans account for free and you can set up your page to allow its content to be viewed for free or for a fee.

How much does OnlyFans pay its creators?

OnlyFans content creators keep 80% of their earnings. The platform keeps 20% as its fee. The minimum subscription price is $4.99 per month and the maximum is $49.99 monthly. Creators can also set up tips or paid private messages starting at a minimum of $5.

In its first four years, OnlyFans paid its content creators $1 billion, Variety reported. But most accounts earn less than $145 a month, according to Influencer Marketing Hub.

How popular is OnlyFans?

Today, OnlyFans has more than 50 million registered users and more than a million content creators, according to Influencer Marketing Hub.

Is OnlyFans a porn site?

The New York Times called OnlyFans “the paywall of porn” in 2019. Indeed, many content creators promote their OnlyFans accounts via their Twitter, Facebook and Instagram pages given those sites have more restrictions on explicit content, especially Facebook and Instagram, which will remove posts that feature nudity.

But OnlyFans is not a porn site. Users include celebrities like Cardi B, models like Clenney, chefs, writers, motivational speakers and average users. But, yes, OnlyFans is also the go-to platform for sex workers who can monetize their posts.

Clenney/Tailor’s OnlyFans account may have been taken down as it was not found via an online search and it is not clear if she used the site to post explicit content.

But Clenney teased as such on a post on her Instagram account on March 15. In that Instagram video, Clenney, as Tailor, writhes in a bikini on a shoreline and wrote, “showing it all on that one fun site” with a winking emoji.

A Google search led to some sites promising to show leaked explicit footage of the model but if you’re curious, be wary: Often clicks on the URLs can download a virus to your computer and there is no way to verify the images are of the person the site promises.
