I like that the author is convinced that seeing fewer links to a website on Twitter since 2021 means that that website is dying rather than Twitter has become a less valuable place to advertise in that time period

I can't see the whole article. Did she include all those multi-links when checking? Most people with OnlyFans seem to have them on Card or Linktree or similar.

So the social trend has abated. Maybe? Let's just assume it has for the sake of argument. That hardly makes the platform "dead." It's earning more money now than it ever did.

Clickbait nonsense.

In September 2024, OnlyFans reported 20% net revenue growth, as well as 25% pre-tax profit growth - to $658 million.

Most of us on HN would be lucky to be so "dead."

One major gaping hole in this article is that OnlyFans is absolutely not dying, and in fact, the opposite is probably occurring. I see this problem only getting worse and accelerating as new platforms continue to pop up, and new firms expand into the semi-amateur adult content industy.

There's nothing else really to say about this. This feel-good article seems to be entirely 1 dimensional in that it declares victory when in reality a massive defeat is occurring and the problem continues to get worse.
