OnlyFans has reversed its decision to ban sexually explicit content after receiving assurances from banking partners and facing strong backlash from creators and sex worker advocates.
The company had announced a ban that was due to take effect on October 1, citing pressure from financial institutions and the need to secure the platform’s long-term stability. The reversal followed public criticism and urgent appeals from users who said the change would threaten livelihoods.
Creators and advocates argued the platform is a critical income source and a safer alternative to in-person work for many sex workers. OnlyFans hosts more than 130 million users and about 2 million creators, who have collectively earned roughly $5 billion.
Some creators remain skeptical about the permanence of the decision, but many hailed the reversal as a preservation of income streams and safer working conditions. New competitor platforms such as myystar and Naughty Popcorn have emerged, reflecting continued demand for alternatives that prioritize sex worker rights and safety.
Advocates say allowing explicit content supports economic stability for vulnerable communities, including transgender and gender-nonconforming individuals, and can offer a safer environment than street-based options. As the online adult industry navigates legal and financial challenges, OnlyFans’ ability to maintain inclusive content will influence efforts to support creators and address concerns about trafficking and exploitation.
The reversal has been seen by many creators and advocates as a significant victory for those who relied on the site for income and safety, while industry observers note the development underscores the evolving pressures and competing priorities facing platforms that host adult content.
