Transcripts
hey guys welcome to my very first
YouTube video I'm so excited I just
launched this channel so if you guys
could like comment and subscribe that
would be amazing so today I wanted to
come on here and talk about something
that is very personal to me as some of
you guys may know I am an Exon fans
content creator and I wanted to talk
about my experience with it and why I
decided to quit I still get a ton of
questions asking about my only fans
account and I also think this could be
helpful to other girls who are thinking
about starting their own only fans
accounts if that is you then I hope my
experiences can be helpful so I started
my only fans account at the end of
December 2020 and I quit around the end
of March 2021 so I was doing it for
about 3 months and this is how much
money I made so you're probably
wondering why the heck did you quit and
that's what I'm going to be getting into
in this video so what is only fans it's
pretty much a platform where you get
paid to create content so people will
subscribe to your profile and access
your feed you'll have your feed kind of
like an Instagram feed where you can
post photos and videos of yourself I
will insert some examples of what I used
to post on my only fans although I'm
sure you can probably already use your
imagination for that so that's where a
fraction of the money you make on only
fans comes from the majority of money
you make actually comes from messaging
so you can message your subscribers and
they can message you you can send them
paid locked content that they have to
pay to access and your subscribers can
also request custom content from you
that you can charge extra for it so
that's pretty much the basics of how the
platform works but I feel like there's
more to the platform that isn't really
talked about and that a lot of people
don't know about so a lot of the big
creators you see on only fans and even
some of the smaller ones they're
actually managed by management agencies
so a lot of the time it's not actually
them behind the screen sending messages
and posting photos they'll actually have
a team of people who are doing the
entire thing for them and pretty much
running their account for them so a fair
warning to you only fans users there's a
chance that you're not actually talking
to whoever you think you're talking to
um so I think the whole platform in
itself has just become very exploited by
management agencies I did have a ton of
agencies reach out to me while I was
doing only fans and even after I quit I
personally never went with an agency
just because I feel like I'm too much of
a control freak to let somebody else do
my messages and post for me I feel like
I always have to be the person behind
everything I sent out and everything I
put out on the internet so that's just
me honestly an agency probably would
have made my life so so much easier but
I just never really felt comfortable
with that so how did I get started on
only fans I've always really enjoyed
making content and taking photos and
videos of myself I remember even back in
middle school I'd make these like super
cringe videos of myself that I can't
even like go back and look at today cuz
it makes me cringe so much but I've just
always really enjoyed posting content of
myself and kind of using that to create
like an online image online Persona of
myself and so Co rolls around and you
know I was super bored I was always home
and I think at this point I was already
like pumping out so much content on my
Instagram and on my Tik Tok just because
I genuinely had like nothing else to do
with my time and so one day I had this
brilliant idea I was like why not get
paid while creating content you know why
not earn some money while doing
something that I enjoy doing right and I
think this was like right before the
peak only fans popularity back when
everyone was talking about it that was
also like around the time I had first
learned of the platform and I was kind
of like marinating the idea in my head
for a while and then I brought it up
finally with my ex-boyfriend of like 3
years at that time and I wasn't really
expecting him to be okay with it but he
actually was okay with it which was
surprising to me but that kind of gave
me the green light and I was just like
[ __ ] it like I'll make an only fans and
I'll see where it goes I really didn't
have any expectations going into it I
was kind of just like I hope I get a
couple subscribers and I can earn a
couple extra bucks to pay for my Boba
and whatever else that was kind of my
mindset going into it I really wasn't
expecting a lot out of it at all it was
more just like a personal hobby thing
but my account ended up blowing up
pretty fast and I ended up gaining a lot
more subscribers in a very short period
of time than I had ever anticipated I
think I had a peak of around 400
subscribers I will make a separate video
on how to blow up on only fans so if you
guys are interested in that make sure to
like And subscribe okay so obviously the
whole experience started off super fun
and super rewarding I would just like
take some cute photos when I felt like
it and I would log on and post them and
I would get a couple messages from my
subscribers and I thought it was super
sweet that people would even be taking
money out of their own pocket to like
view my content I just thought that was
so crazy and surreal to me so yeah I
started off super enjoyable I think
ironically when things started going
downhill was when I started gaining a
lot more subscribers which I know sounds
weird but yeah um once I started getting
a ton of subscribers rolling in I kind
of started feeling this like growing
pressure to be constantly posting
quality original like good content that
was worth the money that people were
paying especially since I did promise
daily content on my only fans so
obviously I had to follow through with
that and post daily content it just got
super stressful having to come up with
new content ideas every single day you
know posting them um it got to the point
where I would like wake up every day
feeling stressed about what type of
content I was going to put out today and
I would go to bed feeling stressed about
what type of content I was going to be
posting the next day and it was kind of
just this NeverEnding cycle of posting
something and then being stressed about
what I was going to post next if that
makes sense so that really started
taking the passion out of content
creating for me and it started shifting
from a hobby into what felt more like a
chore
and I think this is like an issue that
isn't unique to only fans content
creators I think a lot of content
creators in general can relate um it's
very different from a 9 to-5 job where
like once 5:00 p.m. hits you can leave
and you don't really have to think about
work till the next day with content
creating it's very different because
you're always going to be thinking about
what your next piece of content is it's
this never ending cycle 24/7 in your
head and you can't even do anything to
stop it I've tried trust me but your
brain will constantly just be thinking
about that and you can't really control
it so that ended up being super mentally
draining for me I think this issue is
just especially Amplified for only fans
creators because the consumers of your
content have literally paid money to be
able to view your content so obviously
that added to my stress of posting
regular quality content on top of that I
would be flooded with hundreds of very
sexually explicit messages every day
I'll show you guys an example of the
nature of most of these messages
although once again I'm pretty sure you
can use your imagination for that but
honestly a lot of these messages I was
receiving every day made me feel super
uncomfortable but I also felt like
obligated to reciprocate in these
conversations because once again these
subscribers literally paid money to be
there right so I kind of just always had
this internal conflict going on of like
I feel like I kind of have to respond to
these messages but another part of me
was very uncomfortable with it and so as
I think it would for anyone that ended
up being not very good for my mental
this was especially bad for me during Co
because I really didn't have a lot of
human interaction other than the people
I was talking to to online and like 90%
of this ended up being having these
explicit messages with people on only
fans um so yeah I could kind of feel
like that was mentally affecting me so
another thing like I mentioned earlier
only fans is very heavily exploited by
management agencies so the platform just
felt very impersonal to me I never
really felt like I had a community of
people to talk to or just anyone I could
reach out to who who was kind of doing
the same thing as me I never was really
able to make any friends on the platform
and so that just made the experience
feel very isolating and lonely to me
yeah but you know even with all of that
going on at this point I was kind of
like the amount of money I'm making
really justifies like whatever [ __ ] I'm
going
through so I kind of just pushed myself
to keep doing it I was like don't be a
[ __ ] like you just have to keep keep
the ball rolling because you're making
so much money and it doesn't really make
sense for me to stop now right so um I
just kind of kept doing what I was doing
and I think the final Tipping Point for
me to like officially quit was when my
mom found out about my only fans yeah so
I still remember the exact day she had
called me and I kind of already knew
what she was going to talk to me about
like you know when you kind of just know
so I had this like pit in my stomach and
and I was out that day and I was really
dreading going back home I was like
trying to find any excuse not to go back
home and putting it off for as long as I
could but obviously I had to go back
home eventually and she like sat me down
on the sofa and I was so terrified I
have Asian parents obviously I have very
strict Asian parents who are also
religious which is super great for me
but my heart was beating so hard I was
like this lady is literally going to
beat my ass yeah I was just very scared
of how she was going to react but um we
ended up actually having like a pretty
genuine conversation about the whole
thing and I actually ended up having
like similar conversations with other
people who are very close to me in my
personal life I could tell that it was
bothering them I think the main issue
for them was that my social image was
affecting their social image if that
makes sense you know when you're an only
fans Creator obviously you're going to
be promoting your account and
publicizing it and trying to push it out
to as big of an audience as you can and
people who you don't want to find out
about it are going to find out about it
and that's just inevitable that's
something you have to expect going into
it people within your Social Circle and
way outside your Social Circle will talk
about it people from your high school
will subscribe to your only fans I had
dudes from my high school who subscribed
to my only fans and they didn't even
like make an effort to change their name
or anything and I was like I know
exactly who you are but I guess like the
social image that is associated with
being an only fans Creator which is what
I had was affecting the social image of
people who I was close with I guess
although it didn't personally bother me
I could tell that it was affecting the
people around me and I'm so someone who
always really prioritizes the feelings
of the people who are close to me that I
love and care about so taking that into
consideration on top of everything else
I was already experiencing was what made
me finally quit yeah since then I have
transitioned to a different subscription
platform called passes if you guys don't
know what that is it's also a
subscription based platform but it does
feel a lot more user friendly to me I'll
link my profile down below for those of
you who are either interested in
checking out my profile or just the
platform in general I feel like there's
definitely a much more intimate
tight-knit
Community with um passes and I've been
able to meet a lot of new friends and
yeah it's been really great especially
after my only fans experience it also
definitely doesn't have the same
negative stigma that's associated with
being an only fans Creator none of which
I personally agree with but obviously
it's going to be there and I can't do
anything about it but I think there's a
statistic that 98% of only fans content
creators are adult content creators so
it does get exhausting having people
like constantly assuming that you're a
full-blown sex worker I also do want to
say that I find nothing wrong with sex
work I think it can be super empowering
um and I honestly have so much respect
for people who can do that longterm
because I obviously couldn't I had to
tap out after 3 months but it honestly
it does take a lot out of you I really
do think it's an experience that people
who haven't been through it just really
wouldn't understand I feel like it's one
of those things that you have to do to
really understand yeah that was pretty
much my pretty shortlived experience
with only fans I think my biggest piece
of advice to girls who are thinking
about starting their own only fans is to
really make sure you're 100% committed
to it because you do need a very strong
mental for it and that's something that
I think a lot of people don't expect
going into it but yeah I will probably
be making more videos related to this
topic in the future so I will see you
guys soon in the next one
bye
