According to Gan, Stockley resigned of his own accord and appointed her to his seat himself. At the same time, Stockley will remain an adviser to the company. Gan noted that the company will focus on ensuring OnlyFans "remains the most secure social network in the world."
“I am passing the baton to a friend and colleague who has the vision and drive to help the organization reach its enormous potential,” said Stockley.
British entrepreneur Tim Stockley launched OnlyFans in 2016 as a social network for artists to share their content directly with fans. Many users began to post their nude photos and videos, which is allowed by the site's current policy, and in this way OnlyFans has allowed many sex workers to get a platform to earn money.
The platform is also popular with food bloggers, fitness instructors, and musicians. Some of the most successful creators on the platform are hip-hop artist Cardi B, actress Bella Thorne, and model Amber Rose. In August 2021, the site had two million content creators and 130 million users.
In October 2018, Leonid Radvinsky, an American entrepreneur and programmer from Odessa, owner of the largest MyFreeCams webcam portal, received a 75% stake in Fenix International Limited, the management company of OnlyFans.
OnlyFans planned to change their policy effective October 1, 2021 and ban "sexually explicit" content, leaving the option to post erotic content. It was reported that this decision was caused by pressure from banks and payment systems that did not want to be associated with porn. However, at the end of August, the platform suspended plans to ban porn content.
