The squeeze on adult content (and sex work) is continuing at pace within the online content industry following the announcement that OnlyFans will not allow “pornographic” content from October 2020.
This means that if you are a Model who puts up Explicit content after this date you will either have that content removed, or have your account banned regardless of how much money you make on the platform.
But, if you read a little deeper, it’s not just sexually explicit videos causing concern at OnlyFans and other platforms.
Compliance
<< Reported Concerns about “meet-ups” and the platform being used for “other” reasons have also caused a rethink about general compliance on the platform, and how such a site can moderate the content being produced to ensure every single image and video stays on the correct side of the law while also staying in the good books of its payment partners. >>
It has been reported many platforms “turn a blind eye” to many performers who breach compliance and regulation due to the amount of money they bring in, and this will all stop.
But does it have to be a blanket “ban”? Well, we think not, you just have to know how to moderate and be willing to do it properly. This is not as easy as it sounds, and some platforms don’t want the “hassle”.
There will be some platforms that WILL take up the challenge, including us. At EscortFans we are happy to follow the correct guidelines because the rules are there for good reason.
What Now?
- Begin the process of leaving the platform
- You should find a platform that you like over the next 4-6 weeks and start moving ALL (or as much) of your historical content.
- You should back up anything you can from your OnlyFans account just in case it gets removed/banned
- Make sure you read the T&C of the new platform and do some research on their tolerance to explicit content.
And if you are a Sex Worker, make sure to check this is tolerated. We have built EscortFans for that purpose: to provide sex workers with a platform where being removed won’t happen.
Once your new accounts are up and running we’d suggest then telling all your fans. Do this on PM, Any Phone contacts, social media, and any other way you can. Make sure you update any link sites, bio links – everything.
Sex Sells
The rise of such websites shows the HUGE demand for adult services all over the world. Recent events also tell us that working in this environment comes with a lot of responsibility and rules.
The online “Sex” industry has thrived during the global pandemic. Fans have flocked for some virtual pleasure during times when meeting people was not an option. Although meet-ups will come back, many people have found something that satisfies their needs without the necessity to meet people…
While it’s true that the announcement by a huge platform to effectively “cancel” explicit performers will cause a short-term issue for some, it will be overcome quickly and seen as a small bump in the road within months.
Performers should not be worried about finding another platform. You should now be thinking: Which is the best one for me? Where can I make the most money?
EscortFans
We have built up a “home” for sex workers who need a platform to sell their content that allows them total freedom of expression without worries about being de-platformed.
Yes, we have some strict rules but we do this to ensure everything is legal for our partners, ourselves, and, most importantly, for the people that make the content.
If you need help moving over, or have any questions at all please get in touch and we’ll do our best to help!
