OnlyFans 'agents' control and threaten creators while taking half their earnings, BBC finds

A BBC investigation has revealed that numerous women on the OnlyFans platform are allegedly being exploited by individuals acting as agents. These agents reportedly promise to enhance creators' earnings but instead take a significant portion, often half, of their income. Many creators describe feeling controlled and threatened by these managers. The report highlights a pattern of exploitation where promises of professional support mask predatory practices. This situation leaves vulnerable creators in a difficult financial and professional position. The findings suggest a systemic issue within the management of some OnlyFans accounts.

This story matters because it exposes potential exploitation and unfair labor practices within the creator economy on platforms like OnlyFans.
