To better understand why men and women pay OnlyFans models for their photos and videos, we went to Reddit to read tracks from users who do this. We found many different answers, including some of the most unexpected ones.
Most of the commenters who pay on OnlyFans mentioned that it's all about being single. Interacting with a model creates the illusion of a relationship and mutual interest. That being said, these relationships are much easier and more enjoyable as the man doesn't have to worry about how he looks, whether the girl will like him or if he will be repulsed:
These men liked the fact that they could text any girl they liked and support her with money for creating content.
The most popular answer was to support porn creators directly. Many users noted that they don't want to pay greedy producers and prefer to support their favorite models with money. They compared this to donating to their favorite streamers on YouTube, because this format motivates creators to do more and better:
For the first time in the history of porn, users could ask a girl to make a video on their request and satisfy their fetishes, instead of searching for the right clip on the internet for hours.
We also found some very unusual responses. Men and women subscribe to the profiles of OnlyFans models to help their friends and girls they know who are in a difficult situation.
Here's the story of a girl who said she subscribed to her friend's OnlyFans profile, who created it after her ex-husband left her with a child and refused to pay child support. She didn't want anyone to know about it, so she had to help by buying content from her and paying a monthly subscription. She didn't watch any of the videos and photos she bought.
