Something I’ve noticed in British media as of late is that OnlyFans makes some serious money - enough so that a creator can essentially use local journalism as an outlet for promoting their page.
I doubt some of the figures, but if you were to dig into them you’d probably see that number after the media have basically told people “look! Lily Allen has OnlyFans!”
Alongside that, funny enough, OnlyFans is probably one of the UK’s biggest tech success stories. They make a lot of money, have only a few employees, and are basically leaders in their field. That’s probably another weighing towards this being a promo piece.
From creating toe tappers to taping her toes.
Seeing how this thread is full of hate for Spotify by seeming large number of people who are fans of streaming music/podcast services, I’ll pos this question here:
What are the better alternatives for someone seeking to get their favored audios, in terms of library selection, able to form custom playlists and how much if any support to the artist/content creator actually gets to them and what is pocketed by the app?
I don’t think there’s all-in-one best option
library size
Deezer
how much is paid to the creator
Bandcamp
Self host and buy the albums
I love how the whole crowd of people that used to be all “what, you don’t have a Spotify account?!” Are now starting with the “wait a minute, these guys are domineering and bad!” Like the signals for crowd abuse aren’t plain as day.
This exploitative behavior will be down by literally any company that sets themselves up to be “the streets” that you gotta navigate to interact with someone else or their media. That means YouTube, Facebook, and also all those physical places on Earth.
So come on over, what you waiting for?

OnlyFans reportedly takes 20% of subscription revenue
That’s a mobster-loanshark level cut.
20% is considered low
All others take at least 30%
I never considered myself to be a foot-fetish guy, but damn she does indeed have sexy feet
I’m a girl, in a healthy BMI and with nice hair, pretty and freckled face, but my feet are super crappy. Like, crusty, toes bend at weird angles, hard skin in random places. Even my own husband is like “plz no, stop” if they get too near to him.
I’m now wondering if there’s a market on the other end of the scale…
It is my first belief that, given a proper pitch, ANYTHING can be sold at a profit.
Also, there’s rule 34: If a thing exists, it’s someones fetish.
If it exists there is porn of it… Not sure where you got that other version from
You can probably extrapolate from “if it exists, there is porn of it (no exceptions)”.
If there is porn of something, the most likely reason is that someone has a fetish for it.
If the person making the porn doesn’t have a fetish for said thing, then they’re making it for an existing market of people.
QED, you can say “if it exists, someone has a fetish for it”
P.S: What if there isn’t porn of something? Rule 35 states that if it doesn’t exist, it will be made.
You have fundamentally misunderstood millennial meme culture ca. 2006 (roughly when the rules were made).
No one having a fetish for it would be extremely motivating to create such porn. People realized after it was made that they had a fetish for it. See: Shrek.
So technically you can still say “if it exists, someone has a fetish for it” but you’ve relied on correlation to determine causation and gotten it backwards. This is a great example of why we don’t do that.
Post pictures of them on Onlyfans.
Add the caption “I will release a new photo, closer than the previous, every hour until my subscriber goal is met.”
Some people just don’t like feet / being near them etc. Had girlfriends who would freak out if we somehow touched feet (even with socks on).
I used to know a dude that would have gotten hard at your written description here. No bullshit. Dude was obsessed with feet, and what he called “real feet” were his particular favorite. Feet that had seen some life, had been used was one of the few things he would talk about. Literally obsessive about feet.
I guarantee he is not the only one. The only question is if there’s enough like that to make any useful money out of a feet only business.
There’s something about foot fetishists that’s extra obsessive compared to any other fetishists I’ve run across over the years.
I wonder how onlyfans pay model works. If they take a percentage and you don’t need to put any initial funds down to start then you’ll basically have nothing to lose.
There is. There’s a fetish for everything. Certainly when it involves your feet, I’d ask your husband if he’d be ok with some internet strangers paying you every month to see your feet, the worst is he says no, and on the other hand if he says yes you have a second source of easy income
He’d probably have empathy pains for any future subscribers.
Some years ago, an artist who was not a mega-star but was on all the major music services published an article detailing how well each one paid. I’m now kicking myself for not bookmarking it. I clearly remember Spotify being among the worst, if not the worst.
Snoop Dogg said he got 45k for a billion streams.
The musician I saw last week mentioned that he’ll get more money if you buy a CD from him now than if you stream his catalog on spotify for the rest of your life.
Fractions of a penny.
I don’t remember the artist’s name. I’m pretty sure the article was a text post, probably a blog. Not a youtube video.
Damn, spotify truly is a scourge to artists.
The entire music industry is built to grift money from musicians and Spotify is a second layer of musician grifting industry built on the first.
You know what, you’ve convinced. Your specific suggestion of ‘guillotine’ was particularly compelling.
Owned by Sony
Sony, Universal, and Warner. The three parasitic conglomerates that own the rights to almost all popular music between them.
Holy shit. I have feet. Does anyone want pictures of a guy’s feet? They’re big and weirdly shaped.
I wear a men’s 14. Basically the DD’s of feet. My wife says I’m not allowed to show them off for free so get our your wallets folks.
I’m a big feet man and damn is it annoying when I go to a rollerskating or ice skating rink and the largest size they rent is 13 :(
You feel my pain. Literally! Last time I had to cram my feet into size 13 ice skates it sucked some of the fun out of it.
What’s up fellow size 14s!
I often joke that I’m the person happiest that malls have died off because as a kid I was always forced to go there and try on a a bunch of 12s and 13s that never fit.
These days I’m still upset that so many good looking shoes only go up to 13
I’ve got a toe shaped like an alien. Maybe that’s worth something!
Me too, the one next to my big toe… On both feet.
I a small bag of nickels. Tell you what, I’ll even throw in a rubber ducky.
I’m positive there is an audience for men’s feet, but if you aren’t 5 stars on wikifeet, you’ll probably have to market yourself. Study the foot fetish community to find out what the dude foot fan needs more of. Etc.
Is there any way I can do this without finding out any more about this fetish?
Hmmm…the problem is, even if you just post pictures at random, you’re going to find out unwanted info based on what pics bring in money. Sounds like you’d need a manager!
You can even call me a foot doctor, because I help rappers with defeat.
I think the estimated by billboard is fucked up but yeah the article seems completely broken
What’s fun is that some people who read this article are probably into feet (good for them!) so it’s like an ad and now she’ll probably make even more on onlyfans. While still making ludicrously little from spotify.
While still making ludicrously little from spotify.
“Allen’s daily Spotify earnings are $4,077, or about $1.4 million per year.”
If that’s “ludicrously little”, I want to be as poor as she.
What’s her cut of that? If she gets all of it, then, yeah.
Am I missing something? Does it not say she makes an estimated $4000 per DAY from Spotify and $8000 per MONTH from onlyfans?
Allen’s daily stream count on Spotify as of Oct. 17 was about 851,623. Assuming that number is correct, the Music Streaming Royalty Calculator estimates Spotify would’ve paid a total of $4,077 a day, with $3,239 going to sound recording for the copyright owner; $336 of mechanical royalties going to the publisher, who pays the songwriter; and $503 in performance royalties going to performance rights organizations (ASCAP, BMI, etc.).
Which of these numbers goes to her? I’m just confused, I think.
Everybody likes to hate Spotify but if they pay out 4000 dollars a day and the artist gets nothing, that doesn’t sound like Spotify is the main problem.
That’s pretty well known. They cut shitty deals with the record labels so they can have a large library. The record companies are making massive bank on Spotify, unlike pretty much every other party involved, including Spotify.
There’s a definite industry problem, but that doesn’t excuse Spotify.
Apple Music pays artists 50-100% more than Spotify do per play, and Tidal pay triple to quadruple. Even Amazon pay artists more than Spotify; only YouTube is worse.
If those are the numbers I don’t see why people are complaining about Spotify, the problem doesn’t seem to be there
An unknown and probably pitiful fraction of $336, by the looks of it.
$336 of mechanical royalties going to the publisher, who pays the songwriter
Ok I did a little searching. She might get some of the $336 to the publisher/songwriter, but only if she is credited as a writer. Not every song is written by the artist. There doesn’t seem to be anything in that breakdown that goes to the artist specifically. The bulk of the money is going to the copyright owner, who is often the record company, and seems to be who owns her songs. It seems like whatever she gets paid would be up to whatever contract she signed with them.
This pdf file explains that a typical major label artist might make 18% of the $4077 per day.
https://www.manatt.com/Manatt/media/Media/PDF/US-Streaming-Royalties-Explained.pdf
If she makes $266 a day from onlyfans, she has to be making around 8% of the $3,239 the record company is getting daily for it to be less than onlyfans.
$503 in performance royalties going to performance rights organizations (ASCAP, BMI, etc.).
Performance rights organisations would pay her for performing. She’s get a fraction of that.
She’d owe a dollar at the end of each day. Which means she would lose money being on Spotify.
The article is missing the content from the quoted article for the 4,000 a day. It pays out 4,000 a day to the studios and publishers, whatever actually % of that she gets is probably less than 10.

That’s what the article says. So sounds like Lily is full of it.
It’s worth noting that Allen doesn’t actually claim she earns more money from OnlyFans than Spotify. “imagine being and artist and having nearly 8 million monthly listeners on spotify but earning more money from having 1000 people subscribe to pictures of your feet. don’t hate the player, hate the game.”
According to the singer, the decision has already paid off, as her monthly revenue from the subscription site has surpassed her Spotify income.
Seems like she claims monthly revenue from OG surpassed Spotify revenue.
Joe Rogan took all of Spotify’s money?
