The platform has, however, said users can keep sharing nude images and videos "as long as it is consistent with our Acceptable Use Policy."Keen on attracting investors with a valuation of $1 billion, OnlyFans is making these changes "to comply with the requests of our banking partners and payout providers," according to Variety.OnlyFans, which has 130 million users, earns over $2 billion in revenue of which 80% is shared across its 1.5 million creators.

Wait.. So Onlyfans is allegedly getting rid of sex workers so investors can have a 'safe investment' in a website that nobody will use anymore.

Huh.
