History

Historical Context

Since the mid-2010s adult creators have shifted to subscription sites; ManyVids launched in 2014 and took a 20-40% cut, while Fanvue opened in 2020 and secured $1 million funding in 2021. That ecosystem paved the way for Hollywood figures such as Shannon Elizabeth to join OnlyFans in 2026, echoing earlier creator-driven revenue models.
