      That sale would definitely put it in the Top 0.1% of UK-based adult content platforms.

      There’s a whole litany of reasons why British companies being sold off for foreign ownership is a bad thing. But I find it hard to be too upset about losing this one.

      Interesting fact but if a Police Officer is found to have subscribed to Only Fans then that constitutes gross misconduct (discreditable conduct) and will result in the sack. Only Fans is classed as sex work and that’s a big no no when it comes to who Police Officers can engage with off duty.

      The UK is the enterprise blue balls capital of the world. Labour really need to sort this out.

      Can’t believe it. Another home grown business up for sale. The government should step in and nationalise it!

      “The site’s owner, Fenix International, is in discussions with a consortium led by the US investment firm Forest Road Company (FRC), whose board members include Kevin Mayer, who was an executive at Disney for nearly 15 years and also briefly ran TikTok.”

      A US investment company plans to buy a UK tech company, widely associated with porn, whilst the [US might ban porn on a federal level](https://www.vice.com/en/article/this-bill-would-make-all-porn-a-federal-crime-in-the-u-s/)? Am I reading this right?

      A truly Satanic company. An example of modern society’s continued decline into degeneracy and immorality.

      What? OF is British??? I can’t blame the americans for this societal rot? :(((

      For the record, I’m pro porn – what I dislike about OF is the parasocial relationships and the obvious exploitation of extremely lonely ppl…

      I remember a couple of years ago the owners threatened just to close it down due to all the flak they were getting, and it was the users of the site, ie the sellers that were the ones complaining and saying if they want to sell on it they should be able to.

      As gross as OF is, AI is going to rocket it to the moon with the ability to customise every little thing to an individual. It will dilute the pool of users significantly but the increase In customers will more than make up for it.

      I thought it was just a platform that never banned adult content

      It seems every successful British business ends up being sold to the Americans who then enshittify it and rake in the profits.

      They know nobody will provide real ID and are trying to sell before the OSA impacts profits.

      We joke but OnlyFans is one of the most successful British tech companies of all time

      They need an IPO instead. Would love to see only fans in the ftse 100 alongside games workshop.

      Huh, and here I figured it was an Yank company… I mean I guess it is a yanking company though.
