Onlyfans should have gone under...
-
A few months ago.. Onlyfans declared they would no longer allow pornography on their platform.. then they realized that without pornography, they would go out of business very quickly.. so they reversed themselves.
It is a shame they did not go out of business. I have been looking through my archives.. and I notice that virtually all Onlyfans content contains grossly oversized files, almost always solos, almost all masturbation, and really nothing that I am interested in enough to go digging for it.
Also, their content is almost all randomly generated names - making it virtually impossible to organize it or ever find a file you are looking for.
I find myself deleting just about all onlyfans content. I suppose they are being honest with their name though... "ONLYFANS" - because the only people that would be interested in their content are obsessed fanatics of specific performers. The typical viewer who is not obsessed with these individual performers are not interested in their random, lame, oversized content.
Even more absurd.. you can see MORE on Chaturbate than you can on Onlyfans!

@lololulu19 I think "performers" find OnlyFans appealing because they can make/edit a video and post it at their convenience, rather than need to be live during prime time for viewers. It also provides them a more reliable revenue stream.
I agree that the content gets boring...especially when most of these guys love to fuck/get fucked, but seem to play a game that they won't touch another guy on screen--maybe wank him, but never kiss or suck.
But people on here seem to like it: Someone will post a 50 GB torrent advertised as "all of XYZ's content" and the system shows dozens of people who have downloaded it. If I randomly select five photos and five videos, I've seen it all.

onlyfans is not a porn site, you shouldn't sub if you don't care about that person

OnlyFans was created to be a forum for artists to create/sell access to their works (originally intended to be art and music) without the need for the "art establishment"...
As has been noted, it turned out that the "art" most people were interested in was pornographic.
At first, OF tried to "turn a blind eye", which failed - 75% of their content providers are peddling pornographic material.
Next, OF tried to "purge the porn", which failed - 75% of their content providers are peddling pornographic material!
NOW they are simply sitting back and squeezing the "goose that laid the golden egg" for as long as the ride lasts...As for complaints about the contributors, that's like going to the Mall Management to complain that your Mrs. Fields Cookies were stale! If the content sucks, you're following (paying for) the wrong providers! OF is just the "mall management" (or, perhaps more accurately: the flea-market management!) - they are not responsible for the quality of, nor any real part of, the contents that are "for sale"!
For what its worth: I agree that most content on OF is of little to no real value... and when you factor in the time it takes to obtain the material, it's even of negative value!
I can't remember the last OF content I even bothered to D/L from here, much less pay for! But that's not OF's fault! Just like those ultra-cheap socks you bought at the flea market that fell apart the first time you tried to wear them aren't the flea market's problem!

@iaman Onlyfans carries lousy porn. Without porn, they would be out of business. I would rather a company carrying lousy porn would go out of business.. like Treasure Island Media.
-
There are some guys I like on OF (BA guys, for example) but most of it is absolute rubbish.
As pointed out, most of it is bloated file size of a few seconds of video that shows nothing.
Even if we got a complete wank to cum shot, it might be worthwhile but 99% of OF videos don't give that much. Most of it seems to be less than 15 seconds of them posing in underwear and the occasional wag of their dick in their underwear.
-
OF is for those that watch the actor on another site such as CB that want more of them. I think it is great for those that don't really want to be a full blown porn star but just wants to earn some extra cash on the side.
As for OF wanting to get rid of their pornographic content - does anyone even remember Tumblr anymore?
Just the mention of OF thinking about shutting down the porn content is making the owners move their content to another website. -
I agree with the original poster about the flaws of Onlyfans. My impression is that the performer will post anything just to get you to keep coming. So they will masturbate, for example, in the exact same place 10 times and add 10 separate files. Or they will break up a whole sections in parts spread over weeks to keep you on their site. As someone said, it is not so much a porn site, but more like a hook to keep you coming for more content. Finally, there are some performers that post great content, but there are others that just use it to tease you. And don't get me started on the quality of the camera work! lol. Thanks for the great topic!
-
I share the same opinion as you guys but I would like to say that not the performers or OF are to blame but the people who pay the subscription. I cannot believe how comes that people pay only to see someone wanking - no action, no effort, no scenario, nothing at all. Just sitting there in his messy room and masturbating... Or even worse how they subscribe themselves for profiles that allow no previews or pics. But I guess that we get what we deserve...
-
LOL! I don't take Only Fans that seriously at all and I agree from other posters that the majority of those vids are just solo masturbation videos that are about as dull as Dawn dishwater. Then again, there are some performers that I feel take their content and page way too seriously. For example, not only do they perform their norm, but are also screenwriters and directors.Only Fans is not a studio although I must give credence to performers who want to treat it with some quality without taking it too seriously if that makes sense.
I recently saw one with Chris Damned and Marty Mar and I laughed because everything seemed okay considering its amateur porn. All of a sudden, before you know it, Chris Damned apologizes and says that he got caught up in the moment and forgot to press record, lol! But, to prove he shot his load, he shows his cum all over Marty's chest, lol! I'm not a hater, but I did laugh out loud because I can weirdly imagine how devastated his subscribers are feeling screaming, "We've been cheated!" No, I honestly don't know but I did find it humourous.

I take it seriously because OF slowly kills all other kinds of sources of porn. The porn quality accross the board is lowering - in terms of actors, in terms of scenario and in terms of abundance.
This is much more valid for extravagant types of porn like bdsm where we can only dream of the times 2009-2017. Most bdsm related studios and sites have stopped filming or dropped significantly the quality. I mean why would a handsome guy take a role in a bdsm film if he will get the same money for an OF video where he shows his cock?

I'm sorry, but this is just "growing pains" for the Internet!
The Music industry had a COW when people started streaming content, or sharing content on Napster! They warned it was the end of the line for musicians! They'd all starve because people wouldn't pay for albums/CDs anymore!
It didn't work out that way (though it STILL evolving)... but streaming sites pay royalties to artists when people listen to their songs, and by ADAPTING to, and LEVERAGING the Internet, artists today are sill doing pretty damned well!
Porn will adapt! It did when VHS came to market (killing the 8mm film industry), and when DVD came along. Now it's streaming and yes, torrenting... they will adapt, and new ways of enjoying sex and porn will be created...

I hope so.

I agree, nowadays they are even selling all the worth having videos as PPV, the rest are mostly teasers of seconds, that, and this bothers me hugely, are always downloaded in the torrents either way, the amount of ratio you lose by downloading those is appalling.
-
I agree with a lot of complaints, but at the same time the idea of Onlyfans is really good. Onlyfans allowed more amateur people to do porn, so it ended up producing a few good channels, not to mention the fact that before some of those people would sell individual clips on Clips4sale, etc... making it way more expensive.
But yeah, I don't understand why Onlyfans doesn't have a video compression tool, unfortunately the vast majority of people there don't know how to properly edit and save their videos, which ends up making the files huge, it's ridiculous that you can have a 1080p 2 hours movie in 5GB and look good, but a single 5min videos of Onlyfans occupy the same amount.
And I agree, I don't understand people putting solo masturbation stuff and passing it as content, there are the people who like it, but it pisses me off. It also really irritates me when people put videos less than 1 minute long, like cmon, put a little bit of effort will you? I feel some people do it just to have a large number of videos so people will be more interested.
And about the names, Onlyfans isn't a download site, it's not their problem, complain with the people that download it but don't name it (but at the same time they are doing us a favor by posting it, so....).
-
I don't think its that serious tbh
-
They really should have some sort of rating system. Some of the sites are much better than others, but you have no way to review them or know until you buy.
-
@catbox9 It' so hit or miss, and there's no way to know what comes with a subscription, most of my luck has been a paywall for the right to access their next paywall. But it has proven to be a good way to get someone I know from a different social media platform to make custom videos for me.
-
I actually don't mind all the solo masturbation videos but the thing that most irks me about these 50+GB OF torrent rips is the vids are often so short or just feature the guy showering or some other mundane thing.
I like the idea of the models making a buck on their own from their "fans" but I'd be super pissed if I paid a monthly fee to watch a relatively handsome guy in a bunch of 15-60 second clips.
