Adult-entertainment site OnlyFans is reportedly in talks to raise new funding at a valuation of more than $1 billion, sources familiar with the matter told Bloomberg on Wednesday.

The online platform, which charges users a subscription to view pictures and videos of celebrities, influencers, and adult-film stars, was teaming up with an advisor to bolster interest from investors, one of the sources told Bloomberg. The source wanted to remain anonymous because the talks were private.

The source also said the advisor was helping OnlyFans become a more mainstream online media site, and that it hoped to move away from its reputation for adult content.

OnlyFans wants to turn into a platform where celebrities and athletes can connect with fans, according to the sources.


OnlyFans boomed during the pandemic— the number of users jumped to 120 million, from 20 million before coronavirus struck, and users spent $2.4 billion on the site in 2020. People joined the website as a way to earn money after losing their jobs in COVID-19 layoffs.

"Athletes are a creator genre we're seeing a lot of growth in," OnlyFans founder and CEO Tim Stokely said in a press release June 5, when Floyd "Money" Mayweather Jr. joined the site.

The subscription website also aims to pull in more advertisers as it goes more mainstream, the sources said.

A representative for OnlyFans declined to comment to Bloomberg.

Im not questioning how popular it is. Im sure its popular.

Im questioning the billion dollar eval if they get rid of adult content.

Im not saying it wont still be successful, just saying it wont be billion dollar eval successful
 
Same thing happened on Patreon last year, and IG is doing something similar

Use sex (or sexual themes) to get people on the platform, get the userbase, clean shit up for the advertisers, and hope to retain a lot of the existing users...

The issue is, while it's true what you can have all types of content on OF outside of sex work, OF is known as that type of site lol

You take that away, and what are the users willing to pay for?

Onlyfans was always meant to be a place for people huge fanbases/followings (like celebrities) to capitalize and monetize these followings. The paywall makes it easier to sell adult content and didn't have as many restrictions as patreon.

But if they try to turn it back into patreon2.0 without the adult aspect it wont be as lucrative unless they're counting on ad revenue from somewhere.
