OnlyFans: What's the real impact on the people who use it?

OnlyFans star and influencer, Lucy Fitz, says the platform is the safest for her: "I've had no bad experience with my subscribers, they're really, really nice people and really respectful."

The OnlyFans website hosts content from music to workout videos but is best known for soft-porn images, writes Joyce Fegan. What does this mean for the future prospects of young people who see it as a great way to make money?

You may have heard of OnlyFans. Maybe you’ve heard of people making tens of thousands of euro a month simply by posting intimate images of themselves on this online platform. Perhaps you’ve heard the stories of Irish people purchasing multiple homes with their OnlyFans earnings and taking in more than €50,000 a month. Or maybe this is the first you’ve heard of it.
