What is the original purpose of OnlyFans and how has it changed?

John Bickley 0:03
OnlyFans was originally designed to let creators monetize their social media content directly, but somewhere along the way, it became synonymous with adult entertainment.

What are the reported legal and safety issues surrounding OnlyFans?

Megan Basham 0:13
A recent Reuters report cites 140 police complaints about non-consensual pornography on OnlyFans, with 30 cases involving child sexual abuse material.
John Bickley 0:24
Adding to the alarm, OnlyFans agencies have been recruiting young women from social media platforms that do not allow pornography, like Instagram and TikTok. But what goes on behind the scenes is nothing like the glamorous image projected by OnlyFans.
Megan Basham 0:38
In this special report, Daily Wire culture reporter Megan Basham speaks to Victoria Sinnes, a former OnlyFans recruiter. She has since left the industry and now works with nonprofit organizations to educate the public about the realities behind the platform's glossy exterior.
John Bickley 0:54
I'm Georgia Howe with Daily Wire executive editor John Bickley. It's Saturday, May 10th, and this is a weekend edition of Morning Wire.
Megan Basham 1:02
A warning to our listeners, the following segment contains explicit discussion of sexual content, pornography, and coercion within the adult entertainment industry. Listeners' discretion is strongly advised.

Who is Victoria Sinnes and what insights does she offer about OnlyFans recruitment?

Megan Basham 1:14
Victoria Sinnes, who is a former recruiter for OnlyFans who left that work and now does consultancy work with nonprofits, helping them understand what goes on behind what you see in front of the camera in so much of this world, is with us now. And thanks so much for joining us, Victoria. Yeah, thank you so much for having me, Megan. So let me start out with this. Just tell us about your background as an OnlyFans recruiter, because I think a lot of people would be surprised to know that that was even a job.
Victoria Coates 1:44
Yeah, definitely. So many people don't know that these things called OnlyFans agencies exist. The whole original intent of OnlyFans, from my understanding, was to decentralize mainstream social media. It's a way that you could monetize your platform and basically build your own micro community in a lot more of an accessible way than Instagram and Facebook at the time.

How do OnlyFans agencies operate and what is a recruiter's role?

Victoria Coates 2:07
The whole law is that we can be in constant communication on all of the content that I'm putting up, and that's important. And so what OnlyFans, though, has is this thing called not safe for work content. So not safe for work content is adult content, just so people can really kind of, again, yeah, understand what this platform is. So in 2020, OnlyFans blew up as a pornography platform. Right. And so we see statistics that anywhere from 70% to 98% of all content on OnlyFans is not safe for work content. So it's pornographic content. So now we come into, I guess, OnlyFans agency world, and that's what I did, is... If we now know that majority of the content on OnlyFans is pornographic in nature and the whole allure of it is that I can sit there and communicate with this person on OnlyFans, well, if you think about it logistically, to say if you're this creator on Instagram and you've got, you know, hundreds of thousands of followers and you're funneling all of your followers to your OnlyFans,
Victoria Coates 3:10
Well, you can't sit there and facilitate thousands of conversations every single day across all different time zones, seven days a week. And so that's where agencies come in. So my role was to manage girls' OnlyFans accounts. We would impersonate the girls for a profit. We would market the girls. And then of course, recruitment was also an element in that. So that's kind of the world that I've come from.
Megan Basham 3:29
Was it hard recruiting? I mean, is it a tough sell to a young woman to say, look, we're going to recruit you, you're attractive, maybe you're already doing something in this arena, and we're going to bring you on and help you blow up on OnlyFans?
Victoria Coates 3:43
Yeah. So the crazy thing is when people ask me about this, like what is the hit rate, I guess you could say of when you're called message a girl, it was so successful. And the reason why that is, is because we play with our words nowadays. So if I did you, I was like, Hey, do you want to sign up to do porn? And we'll take 20% of your income. You're probably not going to earn a lot.
