"Wealth Creation": OnlyFans CEO Says $25 Billion Paid To Creators Since 2016
The CEO of the X-rated social media platform OnlyFans joined Bloomberg Tech in London earlier to discuss how the platform has paid out a whopping $25 billion to creators since its 2016 founding.
"There's not very many companies that can talk about creating wealth for others rather than just profiteering," CEO Keily Blair told the audience.
UK-based OnlyFans is a major hub for porn content creators. So when Blair says it has "created wealth for others," she's essentially referring to generating income for ex-strippers and influencers. To be fair, the site does host other types of content as well, including wellness, sports, and music.
But the only content everyone cares about…
