We say onlyfans - we mean porn
As the most successful business of the pandemic era almost closed, and what has Odessa have to do with it
There is an amazing online service called Onlyfans. Even if you have never heard of him, you probably saw in the pictures of Belle Delphine (in the world-Mary-Bell Kirshner), a cosplayer who earns on this very Onlyfans $ 2 million a month. The tireless 22-year-old young lady tried herself everywhere-from YouTube, Twitter to Patreon and Pornhub, but everywhere she suffered a fiasco. And only on Onlyfans on Belle Delphine spilled money rain - the circumstance in itself deserves attention to the site.
The theme of Onlyfans aroused the world public because the company's management said that it plans to ban the authors from October 1 to post materials containing Sexually Explicit CondUCT. The “nudity” has not yet been touched in the bare form, but on it, as you might guess, without “actions” you can’t build a million dollars a month.
One and a half million “creators” and 150 million consumers of “creativity” are working on Onlyfans today. The company loves to repeat that it does not hunt porn as one and gives a shelter on its servers to representatives of other noble professions - fitness coaches, for example. Dietetologists. Culinary. Guram of tantric yoga. Coachs on Kundalini.
All this, of course, is from the evil one. ONLYFANS horse - it is precisely what porn (though not straightforward, like Porntube, but an intricate - which is below). Extremely porn brings the main earnings - what to the "creators", that the company itself.
The fact that the "creators" after October 1 will be unemployed is understandable. Another thing is incomprehensible - how did ONLYFANS decide to chop the bitch on which he sits? After all, they are expensive:
In the first covid (2020) year, ONLYFANS raised it under $ 2 billion. According to the most modest estimates in 2021, the revenue will surpass this figure playfully.
Rather, she would have surpassed if it were not for an unexpected change in corporate policy. How is it possible?
If we want to understand about the bitches, you need to understand about the company itself Onlyfans, so we will start with a brief biography.
Onlyfans established in November 2016 the Brothers Stokeley - Tim and Thomas - for 10 thousand pounds, which was allocated by the father, a retired banker, with the words: “This is definitely the last time!”.
Tim decided to create a platform for the monetization of an “erotic creative” with elements of humanism and without the horrors of capitalist exploitation. The refusal of operation was expressed in the fact that Onlyfans took away from the "creators" not 40% (like Clips4sale), and not even 35% (like PornHub), but only 20% of income.
“Creators” shared the stiffer with the family with joy also because the Onlyfans business model allowed customers to communicate directly and receive not only money from these customers, but also human emotions-admiration, worship, sympathy, even a kind of surrogate of friendly relations and friendship a la Riallaif.
The main advantage of Onlyfans: the site allowed former stripper and porn artists to earn money without working on round-the-clock shifts, as wound on porn studios and webcams with broadcasting in real time, and in relaxed mode: a couple of photos and short video clips, at a convenient time, without leaving home! Dream.
Bucolic symbiosis of bodily graphomania monetizers with an advanced gesheft of the Stokel family lasted two years until 39-year-old Leo Radvinski, an entrepreneur and a programmer from Chicago, Lenya Radvinsky, uncoroned Pornacorol of the Internet from Odessa, appeared on the horizon.
The most brief and exhaustive biography of Ravinsky was created by his father Savely: “Lenya is an insanely talented boy. He wrote the first virus at nine. And he always gravitated to pornography, was engaged in dating sites, all that. ”
Lenya went up to zero on the sale of stolen passwords of access to porn sites, postal spam, phishing and garbage advertising. The peel of the young man’s talents was Myfreecams, the world's largest webcam portal, on which 100 thousand stripper traffic of 5 million voinerists traffic around the clock.
In 2018, Leo Radvinski wrote a letter to Tim Stuck with a business offer. The proposal, you see, turned out to be so seductive that the family of enterprising Elsexes immediately lost to porn korol due to the ocean of 75% of the share in Fenix International Limited, the management company Onlyfans. The amount of the transaction, however, is not announced.
The experience and communications allowed Leo Radvinski in the shortest possible time to bring Onlyfans to an inaccessible orbit for small -town British.
The first thing about the new miracle network told millions of her fans Beyoncé. Then, Cardi Bi, an prohibitive stripper, TV star, actress and performer of hip-hop with 19 figurines of musical prizes and two personal notes in the Guinness Book of Records of Guinnesses, started her own account.
In addition to world glory, Lenya Radvinsky brought to Onlyfans an exquisite business style, known as “Hutspa”. Hutspu Pornkorol tested on Myfreecams, where periodic freezing of user accounts was practiced along with all the money stored on them. Allegedly - for violation of the "user agreement." Always - without concretization and the ability to scratch the money back.
In the course of the story, it should be noted that Leo Radvinsky was not at all, but Max Levchin, the creator of PayPal in the online business. At the beginning of the zero, PayPal regularly replenished the corporate moshna by confiscating the frozen funds of the ore users. The gop-stop lasted for years until Paypal ran into a group lawsuit, which was crowned by the payment of such a monstrous fine that it was more expensive to continue the HUCPU.
Much more creative inventions were hidden in Myfreecams sleeve, not directly on the banking accounts of users, but through the bills in the unknown Choice Bank on Belize, which at some point unexpectedly lost a license and was liquidated along with the money of financially unprofitable “creators”, but they did not come in handy in Onlyfans because it happened because it happened Covid.
Due to the Uthan misfortune, the army of the starlets lost the opportunity to spin on the poles in the riallah, and millions of voyerists lost the right to visit striptease bars. SARS-COV-2 combined all these sufferers on the Onlyfans platform, so Fenix International Limited income has already been measured in billions of dollars.
Such a Success Story has developed in this company. Why, tell me mercy, the owners decided to turn the bench at the peak of an epidemic and financial well -being?
Specialists in economics sin on payment card systems: Visa and Mastercard, de, threatened to refuse to process money transfers received by the ONLYFANS sex industry workers.
Such an explanation seemed unconvincing to me. Paying card systems for three years were frightened by Pornhub until, finally, the payments of the site in the spring of 2021 have not turned off. And what? Nothing: Pornhub became even more fervent, and reoriented from bank cards to cryptocurrencies.
On the ONLYFANS with cryptocurrencies is unlikely to succeed-the site is too authoritarian in matters of monitoring cash flows. However, however, to believe that managers with experience in monetization schemes through banks in Belize would not have enough ingenuity to solve the problem with card systems that harm their own business not voluntarily, but under the pressure of the hypnoty in modern society. I have no doubt that Lenya Ravinsky would be able to solve this problem quickly and for the small price.
Another explanation of the suicide of the chicken that carries golden porn yuits is the other in the press is the pressure from the above mentioned moralists, feminists and fighters with children's pornography. In my opinion, such a ligament is completely absurd, since it arose from a weak study by journalists of the biography of Leo Radvinsky.
Today, Columnists of the American and British press voceptedly tell readers about how in the zero Radvinsky they filled up lawsuits from all sides.
The culmination was the trial with Microsoft, who accused the future pornocorol of using Hotmail mail for phishing passwords and logins,
Which were then sold for nothing on the Ultrapasswords portal (also the online project Lenny).
Radvinsky was accused of selling stolen passwords from porn resources, and in advertising for children's porn, and ... and ... and ... painting the texture, my colleagues, however, forget to tell readers how all these judicial claims ended for an Odessa entrepreneur. In fact, what? And nothing: Radvinsky always came out of the water dry!
How is it possible? Follow your hands: stolen passwords when checking at the court hearings turned out to be, as it were, more precisely, ... not quite stolen. Today, a cartel conspiracy with a site, which, supposedly, is sneaked, looks like a scheme, wiped in online business to indecent. Gesheft looked still quite fresh: Porn sites themselves handed over to Radvinsky wholesale passwords with a limited validity period, and Radvinsky sold them for nothing under the guise of “stolen ones”. And even simply handed out for free during Happy Hours or Prize draws.
Happy buyers of "stolen" passwords went to watch the coveted porn, but after showing one or two clips, the password suddenly stopped acting. Well, what did you think? Porn portals security services, tea, do not doze and block constantly “stolen” passwords. I had to buy new ones. Also for nothing. Then again. In the end, this was bored with the user and he, addicted to the content, acquired full -fledged access directly on the porn portal. Marketing, however.
In approximately the same, things were in the business of Leo Radvinski in terms of "children's pornography." It was only in words that she was childish. Why? Well, because the user falls rotten, pulls him, adversaries, on perversion with youngsters. Not a question: your money is our product! Meet the super-duper of the teen models, yesterday from the diapers.
At each, however, the verification during litigation, it was invariably turned out to be that the “minors” webcam-longitudors of Ravinsky said goodbye to Pubertat in the twentieth century. It was simply preserved well, regardless of the hardships of the craft. Do not believe? So here is their passport - see for yourself!
Leo Radvinsky has always been a cautious merchant. And there is no reason to doubt that in Onlyfans, checking the age of the "creative" is carried out less carefully than earlier at Myfreecams. Forensic News and Baza reporters seemed to be thrown into the noosphere several cases in violation of the age qualification, but in court the case would hardly advance further by the statement of random violations of strict corporate rules.
My version of the ONLYFANS refusal to promote materials containing the Sexually Explicit Conduct is the natural completion of the business cycle.
It seems to me that onlyfans is both for Leo Radvinsky and for Tim Stokekel. Guys, tea, not young, the desire to move somewhere further quite naturally.
I don’t know what to do stuck, but Radvinsky has already plunged into the financing of promising IT development: a decentralized social network of PLEROMA microblogging, a platform for developing mobile applications B4X, programming language with high failure tolerance of Elixir-these are only a few of his new hobbies.
The last question, still unanswered in our mini-investigation: where do you order the monetizers of bodily graphomania after turning on ONLYFANS on October 1?
I would venture to assume that the online intelligence, taking into account the drug addiction that their peculiar business causes, will not want to retrain into programmers. Therefore, the question "What to do?" It becomes rhetorical: the “creators” of Onlyfans will have to figure out that the corporate rape of the masses on the Internet is rapidly gone into the past. It is time for Web 3.0.
Decentralized platforms have already appeared on the Web today, ready to take the place of ONLYFANS leaving the business. For example, SPHINX.Chat and NSFW.App, which, unlike the Radvinsky business, also provide users with previously unprecedented bonuses like the absence of any pressure - that financial, that ideological, which is associated with impaired “user agreements”.
About the owner to unfasten any share - that 40, that 20, that 10 percent, is not about at all. The owners in the decentralized world are the creators of the content without regard to the type and quality of the product. Music, poem, video clip, meme, oil painting, rotary cosplay on a virtual pole: there will be market demand - there will be successful monetization.
While preparing the article, the news came that Lenya did not change his mind and the passion for pornography, which appeared in childhood, outweighed fatigue in life from the topic. Well, here the experience with Belize came in handy.
