OnlyFans Introduces Caps After Bella Thorne Breaks Records, Sex Workers Are Upset
As Bella Thorne, 22, breaks records on OnlyFans, the site is now introducing caps and sex workers are upset! Earlier this week, we reported that Thorne crashed the NSFW site and raked in $1 million in just 24 hours of creating an account.
Following the Disney princess-turned-porn-producer’s haul, the site began capping pay-per-view messages at $50, something Thorne charged $200 for as there was no limit, and the site is now only allowing creators to receive tips of up to $100, something that, for some, went up to $1,000. In addition, some creators in certain countries will now only be able to withdraw revenue 30 days after subscribers pay for content, versus the previous 7-day wait.

While OnlyFans officials says there is no connection between Thorne joining the site and the policy changes, some creators, including sex workers — who take credit for building/promoting the site — are disgruntled. One user, Rebecca Madison, says, “Well this is awkward! Bella Thorne’s OnlyFans scam caused OF to drastically reduce the amount SWs can charge for content, which SIGNIFICANTLY impacts our income. I lost my job due to the pandemic, so online sex work is my ONLY source of income right now.”
In a statement via Mashable, OnlyFans says, “Transaction limits are set to help prevent overspending and to allow our users to continue to use the site safely. We value all feedback received since this change was implemented and we will continue to review these limits.”
