OF revenue hits $6.6 billion, with profits soaring to $600 million. OF earns more than all Silicon Valley AI startups combined 😂 who are burning billions every year with no sight of the profits. OF is Powered by human creativity 😻, not AI. https://variety.com/2024/digital/news/onlyfans-payments-2023-financials-revenue-creator-earnings-1236135425/ At least one area is safe from these tech firms.

@nixCraft Yeap.. creativity called junkyard like cheap made porno. If it weren't for young barely 18 yers old girls showing their butts, the whole "only-bullshit" page would have gone bust a long time ago.
@MartinaNeumayer @nixCraft
Good side about it about AI? it may bankrupt Only‐AI/Robot companies because no person will buy from those companies.
@patmcgee @nixCraft Yes it's fairly possible, it may happen. The second sad thing is, that the whole situation which is actually going on will destroy even more, already very badly destroyed adult industry as such. Invention of the internet almost killed decent made porno movies, and now the everything else bad is affecting people working in the branch, no matter of type of the job they are doing. They are marginalized, discriminated, criminalized without any particular reasons. That's scary!
@nixCraft in fairness, I think a few OF content creators exploit LLMs to chat with fans on their behalf. I know enough to know that folk pay for the privilege of speaking with their favourites, but not enough to know whether that takes place on or off platform.

@nawanp @nixCraft There is and would be nothing wrong with that. If it weren't for the fact that OF is one of the main lobbyists who make money on sekworkers, but at the same time discriminate against them in other places, exerting pressure on other companies, e.g. #kofi , with downright disgusting consequences like disallowing s-workers to be paid trough such platforms, seizing their money, dissabling accounts, banning them etc. Now this is full-blown discrimination and violation of many laws.
@nixCraft you know there this AI OF models rights? AI is on that site from the start

@nixCraft
So apparently you're such a heavy fan of Only Fans that you assume the whole world knows that's what you mean when you say "OF"; no explanation needed. 😐

Anyway studies have claimed in the past that porn was the actual driver behind the innovations and popularity of the web itself.

The usual reader's response is "...and all of the prior progress by humanity, too" -- although I feel certain that that exaggerates.

@nixCraft unfortunately a lot of OF accounts are publishing ‘AI’ generated content :(
@nixCraft Thats only b/c they havent gotten to it yet. They will attempt to steal OF content if they get a chance.
@nixCraft in the future, AI will generate cheaper shows for less.
