Yeah, the money those few lucky ones make is chicken shit compared to what the platform owner makes.

My partner was in the top ~~99%~~ 1% of performers on onlyfans for several years (according to onlyfans' metrics, which actually are surprisingly accurate since it involves reporting financial information). At the peak she was making about $150/month. It really drove home that the number of people who actually make any substantial amount of money on any platform like this is shockingly low.

You probably meant top 1%.

Sigh... No, I actually meant to write 99th percentile. Which is also wrong, and is entirely symptomatic of me being 'an idiot'. (Ty for pointing this out)

The owner is a billionaire, so literally 1000x as much as her.
