Just after excitedly introducing her NFT merchandise, Anri Okita might be in a bad mood now:
Because the Only Fans platform announced that starting in October, it will ban the uploading of pornographic videos, only accepting simple nude photos at most—no choice, because banks are threatening to cut off their cash flow, they have to transform to survive. However, how long Only Fans can survive without adult videos is also a question mark…
So, Wu Mengmeng's works may have to find another place like JustForFans to be released, and for big Only Fans users like Anri Okita, Maria Nagai, and Hitomi Tanaka, Only Fans… This move by Only Fans is keeping them up at night—Anri Okita, touted by the film company as having the strongest body in the world, turned to running Only Fans after getting married and having children. Industry rumors suggest her monthly earnings on the platform exceeded her previous film fees, but now she's seriously considering where to move:
So, what impact will Only Fans' withdrawal from the adult film market have?
Actually, it's not just Okita; many actresses have successfully managed Only Fans accounts. Because Only Fans provides a relatively stable income, they can view their AV careers with a different mindset. For example, Nagai Maria didn't compete with other actresses in releasing films; instead, she found a production company for a lower price to become an exclusive actress. Her goal was simple: a stable release schedule to let people know she was still an AV actress. Remembering the name Nagai Maria, she focused her efforts on producing explicit and erotic content to expand Only Fans. As long as she could attract more subscribers, she didn't care about explicit content.
Now, with less than two months left, what will happen to these Japanese actresses who previously had a successful Only Fans business?
Finding a new platform? Definitely. However, the shift from PornHub to Only Fans suggests that this self-produced and self-sold model is facing serious challenges. On new platforms, to make money, everyone will only become increasingly shameless in their filming, creating all sorts of attention-grabbing videos. Once someone crosses the absolute taboo of Child Sex (which happens to be the most profitable area, making it easy to understand how many pedophiles are involved), that platform is pretty much finished…
So, switching to managing a regular fan page? Not so easy. Without nudity, the number of subscribers will definitely drop by more than half. I think the production companies should be quite happy; Only Fans will make those actresses who have gained fame and focused on self-production rethink the possibility of making decent films.
Let's continue to see.
