OnlyFans users are making a mint in the cost of living crisis - or are they?

Right at the top of a Reddit forum is a thread entitled 'Deleted my OF today'. The author sounds despondent. “Have been feeling exhausted, like none of this is worth putting my whole self out there vulnerably the way I do. I’m done putting forth time and effort for not enough money in return.”

A wave of members empathise: “I feel like deleting daily"; “Been feeling this lately for sure"; “I hear you. I have put it on hold because it was getting tedious for not enough return.”

This isn’t the typical narrative you hear around OnlyFans. If you Google the subscription-based social media platform, what you’re more likely to see are the success stories of those whose lives have been changed by it - like the ex-waitress whose videos netted her £20k a month and enabled her to buy her first home at 19.
