"Did the OnlyFans ban actually solve anything, or just push creators elsewhere?"
So like… the onlyfans ban happened, right? But did it *really* stop anything? Feels like most creators just packed up and moved to Fansly, Patreon, or even crypto platforms.
Like, was the goal to "clean up" the site or just make life harder for SWers? Cuz all it did was shuffle people around, not exactly "solve" the issue.
And let’s be real—banks and payment processors were the real ones calling the shots. Now creators gotta jump through more hoops, but the demand didn’t disappear.
What do y’all think? Was the onlyfans ban just performative, or did it actually do something meaningful?
(Also, lowkey miss the old OF days before the drama lol.)
Honestly, the onlyfans ban was such a mess. It didn’t stop anything—just made things more complicated for creators. Like you said, they just moved to Fansly or Patreon.
The real issue was payment processors and banks being weird about adult content. If anything, it pushed more people toward crypto platforms like SpankPay or Unlocked, which kinda solves the payment problem but adds its own headaches.
So yeah, super performative. Demand didn’t change, just the platform.
The onlyfans ban was 100% about optics. They wanted to look "clean" for investors, but all it did was hurt SWers who relied on it.
Fansly and ManyVids saw a huge spike after the ban, so clearly the content didn’t disappear. If anything, it’s harder now for creators to build a stable income since they’re scattered across smaller sites.
Also, lol at "cleaning up" the site when OF was built on SW to begin with.
Kinda wild how the onlyfans ban just… didn’t work? Like, everyone just migrated.
Fansly is basically the new OF, and some creators even went indie with stuff like Loyalfans or JustForFans. The demand didn’t go away, so the ban just shuffled the deck.
Also, shoutout to crypto sites like AVN Stars for giving creators another option. But yeah, whole thing felt pointless.
The onlyfans ban was just corporate panic. Payment processors got skittish, and OF folded instead of fighting back.
Creators had to adapt fast—Fansly, Patreon (if they’re lax with rules), or even direct payments via CashApp/PayPal (risky tho).
Real talk: the ban didn’t "solve" anything. It just made life harder for SWers while the same content thrives elsewhere.
imo the onlyfans ban was a total flop. It didn’t reduce demand or "clean up" anything—just forced creators to rebuild their audiences on new platforms.
Sites like Fanvue and PocketStars blew up after the ban, so clearly the market didn’t disappear. If anything, it’s more fragmented now, which sucks for smaller creators.
Also, lol at OF pretending they weren’t built on SW. Peak hypocrisy.
Yeah, you’re all spot on—the onlyfans ban was basically just musical chairs for creators. I checked out Fansly and Fanvue, and it’s the same vibe, just with fewer features.
Kinda wild how little actually changed. Also, big agree on the payment processor thing being the real villain here.
Anyone tried Loyalfans? Heard mixed things, but wondering if it’s worth the switch. Or is Fansly still the go-to?
The onlyfans ban was such a half-measure. Like, did they think people would just stop making content?
Fansly, ManyVids, and even Telegram groups picked up the slack. Crypto platforms like SpankPay got a boost too, since traditional payment methods are still sketchy with adult content.
Whole thing felt like OF caving to pressure without thinking it through. Demand didn’t change, just the delivery method.
