I think 30% is a fairly common number. That’s also the exact share Google, Apple take if you’re a programmer and sell Apps on their platform. And probably also what you’re facing when selling online courses or other things. I’d be surprised if a platform that also offers some infrastructure, takes less than say 20 or 30%.
I think receiving 70% of the prices that you yourself set and deem acceptable is likely better than ?% of whatever PornHub or XHamster say they made from your video predominantly through ad revenue.
At the very least, it gives creators a great amount more control. In terms of setting prices, in terms of creating content they want to make as opposed to what a production company says, in terms of how you want to advertise, in terms of whether you want to lock your content behind a paid tier or not, etc.
And 30% is also pretty standard. Google, Apple, Valve, etc all charge 30%. Shit, on twitch it’s 50% IIRC. I’m not saying it’s perfect and couldn’t be cheaper, but it’s the usual market rate.
I guess that depends on the overhead. How much does it cost to maintain an Only Fans business?
Since equipment (camera, lighting, outfits, toys, etc.) is a fixed 1-time cost outside of consumables such as makeup, condoms, etc., I’d imagine that the profit margin is relatively high compared to most other types of business.
But that’s just me making inferences, I have no authority or experience in these fields.
Those purchases aren’t paid for by Only Fans. It’s the content creators who pay for all that (unless there’s a way to get sponsored by OF, I don’t know). However, reliably storing and streaming video in high quality across the globe with low latency, both live and on demand, which is what OF does, is expensive af. It’s one of the reasons, if not the main one, there are no real competitors to YouTube.
I’m sorry, but you’re confused, and you’re making me very confused. Or I’m confused and you’re confused also. All I know is I’m confused. And you.
Viewer (customer) pays $100 for some content. Of those 100, OF (infrastructure & service provider) takes $30 as an income and the remaining $70 goes to the content creator as income.
Profit is what’s left from the income after you have paid your costs. The 30% OF takes is an income from which they will have to pay for things needed to run OF, and the 70% the content creators get is their income from which they have to pay for the things they need to create the content. Wages are included in the costs. What’s left after paying bills, wages etc are the profits.
OF take 30% I think. What does an average scene make on OF? How does that compare to the pay rate for old school porn?

For comparison with non-porn, youtube takes more than 50% from adsense and 30% of supetchat/super thanks .
From my understanding, it’s higher than OF alternatives
Are there good (more ethical? cheaper?) OF alternatives? That’s not my world at all…
Fansly exists, there are others that’s I’ve seen referenced but it’s not something I’m super familiar with.

Do most employers spend 70% of their profit on the staff wages?
How is 70% of what customers pay the same as 70% of their profits?

You mean gross revenue, not profit. 30% profit is after expenses including CoGS/wages and is good money if it scales.
Creators on OF or any social media platform can’t be compared to employees. They are more like suppliers.
