And while a large percentage of its creators make money from adult images and videos, it also has a market for many other types of content, including fitness and cooking.

The platform grew substantially during the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, and today, its members include many famous influencers such as Cardi B and Bella Thorne. Given the platform's popularity and user base, it'd be remiss to dismiss OnlyFans as just an amateur porn website."
