OnlyFans has announced that it will delay making changes to policy on content creation, following a widespread backlash by its users.

The content subscription service announced plans last week to block sexually explicit photos and videos from October.

On Wednesday, it tweeted that it has "suspended the planned 1 October policy change".

It is currently unclear if the delay will be permanent.

OnlyFans wrote on twitter that it would "continue to provide a home for all creators".

"Thank you to everyone for making your voices heard," said the company.

"We have secured assurances necessary to support our diverse creator community and have suspended the planned 1 October policy change.

"OnlyFans stands for inclusion and we will continue to provide a home for all creators."

The company added that it will be emailing content creators with further information shortly.

One OnlyFans creator from London, welcomed the announcement from the platform.

However, he warned that it may not be enough to entice those who have already found new homes for their content to return.

"So it's short-term good news for sex workers reliant on the platform, and I would like to see this as the start of increased support, celebration and championing of sex worker rights by OnlyFans," he told the BBC.

"But I think there may well have been enough anxiety caused to see many models continuing the move to other platforms."

OnlyFans makes its money by taking 20% of all payments made to its content creators.

The platform reported a 75% increase in new creators in May last year - when the world was stuck at home during lockdown.

Someone higher up realized just how much money they'd be losing. I'm betting 85-95% of thier traffic is for sex related stuff.

Whether they wanted it or not, Onlyfans as a brand became synonymous with porn. Trying to cut that off at this point leads to financial disasters like Tumblr. (They may want to be like Patreon, but Patreon cracked down on sex stuff rather quickly to prevent it from dominating all of their accounts and traffic. It still exists in smaller forms, but the brand isn't tainted with the "this is a porn site" assumption with the general public.)

It was probably their CC processor just trying to Jew them into accepting a new contract where they have to pay a higher percentage.
 
"Diverse creator community". That is such remarkable phrasing. The language around what OnlyFans is and what is on there never fails to amaze me.
 
If this means that even the smallest blow has been struck against credit card companies being the morality police, good.

But this is Clown World, so I assume it doesn't mean that.
 
But in fact, they still lose, because they're still whores. And the "fans" still lose because they're coomers. I don't know which one is worse.
 
So what's going to happen with all the illegal and immoral shit? Minors, rape, public, etc ?
 
Was it actually the backlash or did their accountant come running in yelling "WAIT, DON'T DO IT! IT'S ALL PORN, YOU'LL BANKRUPT US ALL!"
