Over the years, there's been lots of people, Cardi B, Rico Nasty, Lily Allen, who have joined OnlyFans, and not all of them have shared nude content. The British artist Shy Girl was the first artist to premiere a music video on OnlyFans. So there is some sort of like blurring of lines of what musicians are on there for.

British singer-songwriter Kate Nash, who's been making music for almost two decades, she joined in November and it was like so much judgment being thrown around about her choosing to do this. And it kind of seemed like the big question that was being evaded was like, well, why is an artist like her needing to supplement her income in the first place?

Because of streaming and because of what some people are calling the cost of touring crisis, we're seeing more and more musicians turn to OnlyFans and turn to digital sex work as a way to supplement the income that they feel they're not adequately getting from recording music and from touring.

Recorded music has really declined in value because artists make so little from how much we actually listen to their music. The revenue from touring is just not going to cut it. And at the same time, concert tickets are becoming more and more expensive. It raises a lot of questions about where the money is actually going if it's not making its way back to the artists.

In a way that's concerning for both fans and for artists and also obviously for everyone that works to put on a live show. I mean, that goes from like independent venue owners to the people who work valet parking at a venue or the bartender or the crew and the band for a big musician.
