Bloomberg quickly touches on Radvinsky's sketchy past but doesn't addresses massive problems with OnlyFans. Dozens of people have told me that they had money stolen, entire account balances siphoned without their knowledge or detailed explanation. https://www.google.com/...

This is a very interesting read about OnlyFans. Some numbers. 85m + users (adding more than 500,000 a day), 1m+ creators who it pays more than $200m a month. Will generate more than $2b in sales, keeps 20% and $400m in annual net sales. https://www.bloomberg.com/...

An age-old platform tale. Never hear about Snapchat sexting anymore. Tumblr, however, never managed to shake its well-earned porn rap. https://twitter.com/...

Some facts that may not surprise you about OnlyFans founder Tim Stokely: > His first company was called GlamWorship, and it specialized in “financial domination.” (Google it) > His second site, Customs4U, enabled fans to pay porn stars for custom videos. https://www.google.com/..…
