OnlyFans' Growth Metrics
The financial growth of OnlyFans is undeniable.

Profits also surged by 25%, amounting to $658 million. Additionally, the number of creator accounts rose by 29%, exceeding 4 million, while fan accounts increased by 28%, reaching 305 million.
Challenges and Future of the Platform
Despite its achievements, OnlyFans has faced some challenges. In 2021, the platform temporarily banned sexually explicit content due to pressure from banks and credit card companies following reports of child sexual abuse material on the site. However, OnlyFans soon reinstated this content, stating that it had secured the necessary assurances to support its diverse creator community. The platform also launched OFTV in 2021 — a YouTube-like service with 'safe-for-work' video content on fitness, cooking, and music.
