What’s more important than OnlyFans changing its business model or MindGeek who hasn’t, is the need for more adults - parents and legal guardians, to monitor children’s exposure to sexual situations and have honest conversations about sex and all things related. And regardless of the lawsuits and involvement with the authorities, MindGeek’s response has not been to change their business model. Though they do remove illegal material when asked, a lot of their advertising and marketing plays to the demand for underage content. MindGeek, which owns a number of similar websites has had similar issues but has responded differently. This issue seems to be one associated with the industry. The BBC discovered leaked documents which showed that OnlyFans moderators sometimes allowed illegal content, to slip by-and moderators were sometimes directed not to shut down successful accounts even if they broke the law.

Though OnlyFans is known for its explicit content, their actions could be a response to preventing child pornography on their website. In addition, OnlyFans has been faving difficulty attracting investors because they don’t want to be associated with its adult content.īut it goes further. Why the change? Well, quite simply, OnlyFans wanted “to comply with the requests of our banking partners and payout providers,” aka it was feeling the heat from the likes of Visa and Mastercard, which don’t want their services used for potentially illegal material.

Creators will still be allowed to post nude photos and videos, but under new content guidelines that haven’t been released yet. The site, originally known for its sexual content, is now banning creators from sharing sexually explicit material starting in October. If you haven’t heard, OnlyFans is getting a makeover.
