With many people losing work during the pandemic, and the cost of living on the rise, many Australians are looking for new ways to make money or supplement their income. Subscription site OnlyFans has seen a meteoric rise in popularity in the last few years, allowing people to make money from selling all sorts of content, but most prolific on the site is adult content. In this episode, we meet a mum who left her job in banking and is now a full-time OnlyFans creator. Plus an expert in digital media and sexual development explains why OnlyFans is actually a good thing for young people.
