OnlyFans platform

OnlyFans is a London-based internet content subscription service founded in 2016. It allows content creators to earn money from users who subscribe to their content—the 'fans.' While the platform is used by a variety of creators including physical fitness experts and musicians, it is primarily known for hosting adult content.

The platform's infrastructure and software development are primarily managed through its headquarters in London, though it operates a global cloud-based delivery system. Since its acquisition in 2018, the platform has grown into one of the most profitable social media sites in the world, maintaining a unique business model where the majority of revenue goes directly to the creators.
