If you don’t understand why every sex worker hates Bella Thorne’s stinky guts and how she endangered the livelihood of hundreds of thousands of creators, let me explain it for you! First, Bella Thorne made an OF & made $1m in her first day. This isn’t the bad part.
Then, she sent out a $200 PPV message that she claimed was a nude photo but when subscribers paid to open it, they found it was a lingerie photo. Seeing as she SCAMMED them, they wanted their money back and OF has a policy that you get your money back if you get scammed.
So suddenly a fuck ton of people ask for a charge back and this causes problems for OnlyFans bc they have processing costs, so people suddenly requesting millions in chargebacks makes them lose a lot of money.
To be able to pay all those people back and prevent such a massive chargeback problem in the future, OnlyFans changes their policies so now the maximum price for a PPV message is $50, maximum tip someone can send is $100, and all the money you make on OF is pending for 30 days.
Previously, the funds you made on OF were only pending for a week, so most creators got paid at least once a week. Imagine suddenly going from a weekly paycheck to a monthly paycheck. That’s what’s happening to 450,000 content creators.
People have bills to pay. Kids to feed. Many people, including content creators and sex workers, live paycheck to paycheck. How are they going to pay their bills this month? How are they going to feed themselves and their families? This is REAL HARM.
Now about the $50 PPV and $100 tip cap. I’ve seen people who are not sex workers saying this seems “reasonable” bc you are ignorant morons talking on something you don’t understand. Sex workers don’t get paid hourly. You make larger amounts inconsistently.
PPV messages are frequently used by sex workers to sell more explicit content. Let’s say you’re selling a video of you sucking your boyfriend’s dick. If you sell that for $50, OF keeps 20%, so you get $40. BUT you have to pay taxes on that. Maybe you get $30-32.
Is it worth it to you to sell videos of yourself sucking dick for a maximum of $32? Can you make a living at it? What if you used to sell them for $150 or $200, can you survive a paycut like that? Could YOU at YOUR job survive a sudden 85% paycut & monthly payday?
Now a lot of people fundamentally do not care about this predicament bc you don’t care about the lives and livelihoods of sex workers. And yet you still want to see porn, you just don’t believe the people who create it deserve to survive. You’re a bad person and fuck you.
Bella Thorne is one of these people. Bella Thorne does not care if sex workers can make money, if they can survive, if they can get respect for their work. She thought it would be fun to wade into our life carelessly and in doing hurt our ability to provide for ourselves.
She didn’t think about us as real people or about sex work as a real job. She SCAMMED people, which leads to the spread of a dangerous and unfair stereotype that sex workers are scammers even though every content creator I know works their ass off & cares about providing value.
People can make different kinds of content as sex workers. I make a lot less explicit content than some of my friends just bc I have my own comfort level I stick to. I don’t care if people make OnlyFans and post lingerie pics only. But you don’t scam & you don’t feel superior.
There has been a huge backlash and OF might be backtracking on some of these policies. It’s hard to know bc they frequently dismiss sex workers’ concerns and many SWers already have a hard time getting their money from OF. But the outrage might help so join us & get pissed off.
And while you’re here, SUPPORT SEX WORKERS. If you watch porn, make it ethical porn that the creators get paid for. Free porn is usually just stolen content posted without consent. Don’t support that just bc it’s free. Entertainers deserve to be paid for our work.
