Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ

OF sells parasocial relationships

Some OnlyFans users think if they pay one of the content creators enough they will notice them.

And how has Onlyfans content somehow managed to escape being pirated

It hasn’t. Just check torrentgalaxy.

Not a connoisseur, so take what I say with a grain of salt but... Isn't the appeal of it, the significant personal interaction? You can't get that by ripping a couple vods. The ability to live chat (and throw paid messages their way), and have them respond, seems irreplaceable.

OnlyFan contents are pirated and shared on a daily basis as any other media. But because there are not many requests for it (also since consuming directly on OnlyFan hits differently, as you talk with the actual girl), and in part because of NSFW nature, you will find them only if you actually search for them.

Sure thing, you will never encounter this kind of content on common NSFW websites 😁

There's frequent dumps of OF pages on 4chan, OF oiracy is very well alive.

Parasocial relationships and extremely niche content. Many girls will do specific roleplays. You want a girl to fart on a cake while calling you James Baxter? Someone will. Hell, someone probably specializes in it.

Personalized and specialized content seems to factor into it.

Often it works out where someone pays a large sum for a specific piece of content. Afterward a gallery or video is posted for subscribers or individual purchase for much smaller sum, which gets pirated, but the real money is already kinda made.

This is based on a friend of mine relating how their sister makes a living off OnlyFans.

OnlyFans is hugely pirated. But they will do well for two reasons. The first is that their service is good and easy. The second is that customers know that their money is motivation. Without their subscriptions, the models won't make content.

Most people are much more willing to pirate from a global megacorp than from an actual human person.

The piracy bugbear has been raised as the reason why corporations aren't selling enough since mp3 was invented back in the day. It isn't always the case. OnlyFans is pirated but the piracy doesn't affect their bottom line enough to drive them out of business. If you think about it, lots of pornography on the internet is free, and they're still okay. It's a much more nuanced discussion than "piracy is stealing" than the corporations want you to think it is.

Edit: if I had to guess, the niche they serve or the value they add on top of "just porn" is something their customers are willing to pay for.

I have no idea about how that industry works, but I guess piracy is not really driving stuff out of business elsewhere either.

Most people don't pirate. If piracy could drive companies out of business, gaming would be dead, especially indie gaming.

There is a lot of unique creators on OF and unless you have thousands of subscribers you probably aren't going to be able to find pirated content easily. Also you can get custom content and talk directly to the creator . And from knowing people personally it's alot more work than you think to make money on OF .

You sure about that?! 😂 And that is just a simple search

Here is a different site.
