[QUOTE="Jacob Miller, post: 78222, member: 5063"] The Only Fans discussion is really interesting to me - in British society in particular, we tend to be very prudish "oh no, we don't talk about those things in polite company" sort of a thing - yet we're faced with not only OF, but a number of other adult platforms, which nevertheless are extraordinarily valuable platforms and require complex commercial and legal analysis. In terms of why these platforms have become so successful, I agree with Dheepa that the "accessibility" factor is largely at play here. In almost all parts of society, we have a major cache to celebrity and celebrity status and this is no different in the world of adult platforms and Internet pornography - people admire celebrities and also want to feel closer to them. Regardless of one's outlook on the moral and social values attached to platforms which facilitate sex work like this, it's hard to deny that they are indeed on the cutting edge of a gold mine. I can't speak for the OF platform personally, but patreon (which I do back a few YouTube channels on) strikes me as a very similar platform on a parallel plane. The success of Patreon has been enormous and YouTubers regularly generate vast sums of money therefrom, for fundamentally the same reasons as Only Fans has been incredibly successful. Now, this is normally the part where I go into a discussion about how this is relevant to candidates in interviews... but, honestly, I would personally bring up other things. As much as platforms like OnlyFans do raise a really interesting discussion, the fact remains that us Brits are pretty prudish, and you would be taking a real risk of someone thinking the discussion wasn't suitable for the occasion by bringing it up in an interview (whether that's right or wrong!). Nevertheless, I would be really interested to hear more people's opinions about the wider discussion at play here! [/QUOTE]
