An OnlyFans spokeswoman told The New York Times, in an emailed statement: “The proposed October 1, 2021 changes are no longer required due to banking partners' assurances that OnlyFans can support all genres of creators.”
What will replace OnlyFans?
The 12 biggest alternatives are Fansly, Unlockd, Fanvue, iFans, FanCentro, MYM, AdmireMe, AdultNode, Just For Fans (JFF), LoyalFans, Fangage and Patreon. Each platform gives creators the chance to share content with paying subscribers, and they've all got their pros and cons.
Why did OnlyFans get shut down?
When it first announced the ban on August 19, OnlyFans said it was an effort “to comply with the requests of our banking partners and payout providers.” CEO Tim Stokely later told the Financial Times that banks were to blame, saying they were making it difficult-to-impossible for OnlyFans to transfer money to creators.
What did OnlyFans ban?
OnlyFans, a self-described “subscription social network”, announced last week that it would ban sexually explicit content from October. The ban was a shock because, behind the generic branding, such content is perceived to be OnlyFans' biggest draw.
