That Mia Khalifa vid is a nice try, but unfortunately it's based on a false premise, and the girl making it is just way out of her league. Chick actually grabs a 3 second clip from nearly half a century ago to try to support the claim that porn stars aren't paid much...today. First of all...$100 for a day... in 1972. That's roughly equivalent to $622 in today's currency. Turns out that 48 years ago, a dollar was worth a lot more. Go figure. (Does make $622/day?) Second, wtf does how much a guy made for a porno during the Nixon administration have to do with how much a woman makes in 2020? The fact that she literally said "people weren't buying like Deep Throat anymore" should really give it away that she's a child who has no idea what she's talking about. Then...that $12k number from Mia Khalifa is total nonsense (and simply replaying that same clip a dozen times in the same video isn't going to make it true)... I went into it in an old thread post, but basically she went on this tirade last year from her time in the industry, but for one thing, that's intentionally misleading to the point of basically being a lie, and for another, she doesn't mention anything about how much she continues making to this day entirely of her time in the industry. Her entire porn career was something like 28 scenes (she claims it was 12 scenes over the course of 3 months, but BangBros says she was in the film/cam industry for almost 3 years, and anyone can easily verify she's done more than 12 adult films). And BangBros says they paid her in excess of $178,000, and that doesn't include anything she made with the other 3 adult brands that she performed for before she performed for BangBros. And regardless of how much she was paid to perform the scenes, she's still cashing in all these years later off of the fame she garnered through porn. I don't for a second believe that she doesn't get any sort of residual from her porn site revenue (the site is still up today), and then she's had a personal webcam site, Patreon, FindRow, OnlyFans...and tons of endorsements on her social media. And this is not to mention all the hosting gigs she's gotten on sports shows and such. Instagram: TikTok: Twitter: Onlyfans: Findrow: Patreon: unknown () Like the guy says in the video below...That her job. If you can't figure out a way to make money from 22 million followers on Instagram, you have a serious problem. (Especially if you gained those followers in the first place by being willing to literally be fucked on camera...which would suggest a willingness to go pretty far to make a dollar. As we see on this forum, plenty of girls make plenty of money without even going nude.) She's making plenty of money...and it's literally based on the fame she got from being in porn. Check:

Thank you for your comments redery Your posts dig on details, provide added info or counter-arguments with supports, and hit all the right marks at least for me. I think you've got a real skeptical and analytical mind. I applaud you for that. I did not know about the amount Bangbros actually gave her and all of the media channels today. Thanks for informing me. I've said I like reading your comments before, this was just as informative and enjoyable. Not many people may are interested in such topics and not everyone is willing to look at this angle, so I'm so happy you've made this thread.

This is not necessarily for you redery, I can bet you know most of this if not all of it already. it's like 101 for how OnlyFans started Btw the app earns $700M a year! and the average includes 2020! ridiculous! Wow! For anyone viewing the thread and wanting a small history lesson for Onlyfans in a casual fun way. This is not a bad 12 minutes. Hope you guys enjoy it. Have a great day. Cheers

Just from 2:48 to 5:33 That raised my eyebrow since I game quite a lot. The guy compares OnlyFans to Twitch and calls them competitors. I think that is silly. The only reason I understand is that both have a predominantly male following and that's about it. The main reason I shared this, however, is that he talks about girls "selling their bodies" on twitch. Is that even real? I just know about this one person who masturbated on stream and got banned. She later explained she "forgot" to go off-stream and did not know she was still being watched on twitch. I think his comparison is not supported by any solid evidence. My point is, does Twitch allow nudity on stream? I don't think so. It can never be a competitor. Different industries, different stakeholders. Customer base may be shared but it's not like I think whether I want to follow someone on OnlyFans or on Twitch, I see them as two different things

Yeah I'm curious about those numbers. If you go to the homepage now you see a graphic that actually has lower numbers than the guy showed on screen at 11:28. The page he showed says 30m+ registered users, $700m paid out to creators, and 400k content creators. The one on the page now says... 25m registered users $600m paid out to creators 350k content creators That video was published 6 months ago. It seems odd because obviously the amount paid out to creators should never decrease, and with COVID, OnlyFans popularity has only risen, so user numbers should be higher, not lower. Also back in May the CEO Tim Stokely told BuzzFeed News "the site is seeing about 200,000 new users every 24 hours and 7,000 to 8,000 new creators joining every day." I don't know about that, but it's certainly not impossible, again especially because that was well into COVID lockdowns. I also find it odd how the guy read off user stats from that page, and then skipped how much they paid out to creators and instead said $700m/yr in . I don't know if he just misread it, or is an idiot, but that would be a weird coincidence if their annual revenue was roughly the exact total they've paid out to creators. In any case you have to remember... When they say "paid out to creators", that's gonna be a cumulative total since the site launched back in 2016. Then you have to remember, the vast majority of their revenue is spent in those payouts. The founder/CEO says the company's take is around 12% of the fees they collect. 80% goes to the creator, and roughly another 8% goes to merchant/processing fees. You can check (which appears to be where that guy got all his information...seriously the video is basically just him plagiarizing the article.) So it's impressive in certain contexts. It's not like they're raking in a ton of profit in the grand scheme of things, but it's definitely a "disruptor" in terms of how it's basically brought camwhoring to the mainstream and shifted the Overton window and made it largely acceptable. And the fact that some rando chunky girl can make "up to $30,000/day selling photos and videos on OnlyFans", that's pretty impressive too. It seems suspiciously high, I'm skeptical of that, but maybe if she holds some kind of raffle or something and has one of those days per month where everyone buys something. But Malu Trevejo is an interesting and undeniable case because she doesn't hide her follower count. She started getting Instagram famous around three years ago, and just turned 18 just last month. Only a few days later, she had a live OF account. $10/month subscription fee, and she had 5k subscribers within a day...without a single post. before increasing it to $16/mo. Apparently she brought it back down to $10, and currently she's sitting at subscribers. Do that math, and then remember it's minimum (because some might have paid more, and then there's PPV)...per month. And here's the real kicker. It's been almost a full month already...and she has a total of 9 posts. Obviously that's a unique case of an outlier, but as these videos show, regular chicks are making 4 figures per week, some 5 figures per month, easy. As I was saying in that Malu thread, it demonstrates the notion of "women have it so hard/the world is totally against women" is total nonsense.
