Nick Pell, a writer and researcher, joins as a Skeptical Sunday co-host to dissect the realities of OnlyFans. He reveals that while the top 1% of creators rake in a third of the platform's revenue, most earn a mere $150/month. Nick explains that many interactions aren't authentic, as responses are often handled by AI or outsourced workers. The conversation also highlights significant risks, including doxing, mental health issues, and exploitation, questioning whether the platform truly empowers its creators or ensnares them in a cycle of dependency.
