The owner of OnlyFans, a site known for its adult content that is credited with revolutionising the online porn industry, has died at the age of 43.
Leonid Radvinsky, who was born in Ukraine and grew up in Chicago, had purchased the company in 2018 from its two UK-based founders.
The site’s popularity surged during the Covid-19 pandemic, landing him on Forbes’ annual list of billionaires just three years later.
He “passed away peacefully after a long battle with cancer,” OnlyFans confirmed in a statement, which asked for privacy for his family.
Yeah, OF gives me MLM for Porn kinda vibes. You hear about the women making tons of money but I’m sure that for every OF model that got rich, there’s dozens or hundreds that tried it and barely made anything.
And a lot of them make it so obvious that they are just doing it for the money. Which, on the one hand I totally get, that is the whole point, but on the other hand, it’s not exactly hot, unless you have an exploitation fetish.
Not that OF invented the “porn is fake” thing. But it seems worse now.
