Why is OnlyFans so popular

[Newbie]

It seems like a bad deal for the consumer, esp. when compared to a place like VNA or Brazzers or NA or whatever where you get so many videos for cheaper.

With OF, you have to pay more, you're committing to more months at a time and you seem to get less overall videos.

So why has this platform become so popular?

[stickyvicky]

Why are you committing to more months at a time? Isn't it (OF) just month by month?

I must say I agree with you! If you catch a sale at the VNA, you can sign up for 19.95 recurring and for that you get 35 + websites(22,000 + videos) and free cam shows and archives. For example, I will be on cam tonight at 7 p.m. EST and again on Sunday, for an hour each time chatting with you guys and getting naked and sexy! You don't get anything like that on onlyfans? So you tell me? Aren't you on my onlyfans? LOL

[Maggie Green]

Because it's much more interactive and that's what people are wanting these days. Same with web camming. OnlyFans puts you in immediate touch with the people you subscribe to and a lot of us offer stuff like sexting, spin the wheel games and all kinds of other fun stuff. I love it so much! You can go live on there and do shows or just chat. All kinds of stuff.

[stickyvicky]

Yes i've been doing sexting and lots of custom videos too. But as far as content is concerned there is no better value than the vna!

I consider the forum to be interactive as well. Newbie posted and I replied in about an hour. It's not like I would answer any faster on OF?

What does bother me about OF is when someone is paying $5 per month, (minus 20% OF cut) doesn't support me in any other way, and expects my undivided attention answering all their questions and giving them advice! Then get insulting because I don't answer quick enough because I'm in a different time zone and I'm asleep when they are demanding my time.

On OF you get a lot of bits and pieces.... Candid phone snaps etc.. Different content than the site. Since its very modestly priced, there is no reason for true fans not to do both!

[TheShaft]

Newbie, yes you may pay more but the interaction is more intimate. Sometimes you get offered pics/vids, etc. for additional cost but you’re not obligated to pay for it. If you want the pics/vids, pay for it. If not, don’t pay for it. It’s all up to you.

[Andrew35]

I follow one person on onlyfans, but if I had more money I'd probably follow more, and but honestly I prefer the websites but if the girls can't make more money with other things I say good for them. I'm going to support my favorites as best as I can, unfortunately money is tight for me most of the time so I don't get to support as much as I want.

[CGYMike]

I'm not totally convinced that most onlyfans sites are run by the model, or whether you are interacting with Bubba, the IT hairy knuckled, social media keystroke artist, who is paid to be Elsa Jean, or Lisa Ann (yuck) or whoever your favourite model is.

I hope models are interacting directly with their fans and managing their own onlyfans...that would be great for their paying members.

[stickyvicky]

I do my own! Which is why when I'm sleeping no one gets replies.

[Andrew35]

Most of the ones that I know, are doing it on their own, so I don't know anyone not doing it on their own.

[prophet138]

I like only fans because it's fun. And it's like using a chat app to talk to your contacts on your phone except it's to someone gorgeous like Vicky

And I love you for it

I like Onlyfans a lot for what has already been said: access and custom stuff. I only subscribe to yours, and I LOVE that I feel more apart of your day. It serves a slightly different function than this website to me, though both compliment each other well.

The issue I have with Onlyfans is the site itself. It needs a lot of work. It’s very hard to scroll and find what you want without the server screwing up and having to reload. And because you have to scroll and scroll and scroll to find the exact pic or video you want, it can take forever. And frankly, when you have your cock in your hand, you’re not in the mood lol.

[stickyvicky]

I couldn't agree more with you about the platform. If someone told me their name a few weeks ago and I'm trying to go back to find it, it's almost impossible.

If I'm thinking about posting something on the main feed, and I want to double check first to be sure I didn't already post it, it's almost impossible to scroll backwards to view my past content! I don't know how you guys do it!

Lastly the search function for finding a user is impossible. For example I know a guys handle is Wheeler. I want to get to his profile so I type in wheeler in the search, 25 other people come up first before him, if he comes up at all. Yes it's very difficult to use sometimes.

not sure if anyone’s aware, but if I wanted to look at videos I’d click on the videos link on your profile, photos link for photos, that would narrow down the search a bit

I was going to mention the search function too! Often I'll have to use a search-word to pull up a particular cumshot pic of yours I'm after, so I'll have to remember what you wrote when you sent it, and then search that term. The picture may or may not even come up!
It doesn't seem to make much sense. All porn sites make it easy for the guy to scroll pictures quickly with one-hand since their cock is in their other, but Onlyfans doesn't seem to have caught onto that lol. My patience is never thinner than when I'm looking for a picture or video mid-stroke and can't find it LOL

[enternight]

It didn't seem like good value for me. I joined up once for one of my fav starlets and it was mostly just bread crumbs to buy other things and instagram type pictures. I told her I didn't like it and closed my accnt lol

[stickyvicky]

Well if we're talking about sheer quantity of content you can't beat the websites!

There is so much competition now that sometimes onlyfans is as low as $3 a month, and the model gets $2 that and then people expect her to get them off and chat with them back and forth, you just don't have time to do that for $2 a month? It makes no sense at all? So that's why they try to sell pictures and videos to make it more worth their time.

Yeah you are right. That was only one model, I didn;t ask her for anything. All her only fans was the same as her instagram. I might try another ;)

I think the issue with Onlyfans in this regard is how disparate the experience can be. Since Onlyfans is merely a *platform*, it is up to the model to determine how their site is run. I see some girls charge $2-$5 as you said, and in that case, you are buying the *ability* to access the model and her content through tipping and unlocking content. Some, like Angela White, ask for $10 for the same.

Others girls charge $20-$25 and run it more like a content site, where much/most content is included. But again, that's where issues arise, because unlike professional pornstars like Vicky and Angela who are experienced and business savvy, there are a million Instagram models and strippers who want to charge $20 and *still* lock all the content, or who are extremely lazy in running their sites and never update or interact with fans. They may also strongly suggest there is more sexual content behind the paywall but then never deliver; or, if an Instagram models offer private sex videos, they demand $60 dollars for 3 minutes of unfocused, poorly lit doggy LOL

So the experience is wildly different and thus you can get burned pretty easily as a consumer, and as a model you can get burned as well with guy's expecting the girl to get them off for $3/mo.

I think a little more transparency on the site prior to buying would clarify some of this. Some girls you can't even scroll down to see the written captions on the locked content, nor can you see the "Last Seen" tab. So you have no clue what you're buying. Maybe like most things porn or sex, they're hoping the guy just buys with his dick and not his brain. Just ask my credit card companies LOL.

Stick to the pros like Vicky and you'll be more than satisfied! Luckily my wallet just goes towards vickyathome.com and onlyfans.com/vickyvette now.

Basically, if an honest innocent individual is on a wank hunt
Ie dick in hand phone in the other

Signing up to pay a few bucks is very attractive

And remember they aren't going to be evaluating the content in anything but immediate quality

Once they shoot their lot. That's it. No deeper thought or analysis

That's why onlyfans wins

[stickyvicky]

Well thanks for putting it in plain English for us LOL...
