Seen half a dozen posts like this recently. Always screams misogynistic outrage bait to me.

I'm fairly convinced posts like this are sponsored by these platforms to trick young women into joining, as they need an endless supply of new "content" when people get bored of the popular models. That fetish site "Feet Finder" did that a lot, they sponsored tens of thousands of TikTok creators to pretend they got rich selling their feet pictures, when in reality, the people joining the platform were never paid.

Yeah, the money those few lucky ones make is chicken shit compared to what the platform owner makes.

My partner was in the top ~~99%~~ 1% of performers on onlyfans for several years (according to onlyfans' metrics, which actually are surprisingly accurate since it involves reporting financial information). At the peak she was making about $150/month. It really drove home that the number of people who actually make any substantial amount of money on any platform like this is shockingly low.

You probably meant top 1%.

Sigh... No, I actually meant to write 99th percentile. Which is also wrong, and is entirely symptomatic of me being 'an idiot'. (Ty for pointing this out)

The owner is a billionaire, so literally 1000x as much as her.
