Get To Know OnlyFans, Leonid Radvinsky's Application, Which Is Famous In Indonesia Because Of Dea's Pornography Uploads

JAKARTA - OnlyFans owner, Leonid Radvinsky was added to Forbes' list of new rich people in 2022 on April 7, 2022. Radvinsky, who serves as CEO of an app that is currently being talked about in Indonesia, was ranked 2,324 out of 2,668 people on the list. This 40-year-old man has a wealth of 1.2 billion US dollars or Rp. 17.16 trillion.

Radvinsky who was born in Ukraine is a graduate of Northwestern University in 2002. In his biolink Radvinsky is known as someone who loves to read, play chess, and learn to be a helicopter pilot.

Radvinsky bought OnlyFans shares ownership from Fenix International Limited owned by the Stokely Family from the UK, as much as 75 percent in 2018. Previously Radvinsky already owned a similar company, namely MyFreeCams. OnlyFans was first founded in 2016.

OnlyFans is actually a subscription based social media app. Users can sell or buy original content. However, when accessing adult sites, creators can upload vulgar videos and photos to their accounts connected to the payment system.

Running OnlyFans with his experience managing similar sites, Radvinsky began to aggressively focus on adult content. This website has captured the attention of the world's citizens significantly, especially when the COVID-19 pandemic began to spread throughout the world.

Since the pandemic era hit, OnlyFans has experienced a surge of more than 75 percent. This means that many people have registered for an OnlyFans account.

In April 2020, OnlyFans recorded that there were 150,000 new users every 24 hours, with 450,000 creators. OnlyFans suspect the high enthusiasm is because people are bored at home and want to make some extra money. Because apart from being a social media, this site can be an alternative income.

The number of users certainly makes Radvinsky's wealth continue to rise significantly.

Currently OnlyFans is a hot topic in Indonesia regarding the pornography case that ensnared Gusti Ayu Dewanti aka Dea OnlyFans. His confession is that he made pornographic photo and video content on the platform for profit.

OnlyFans is basically a paid service for subscribing to exclusive content from creators. But some creators use it to sell vulgar content. This is because of the OnlyFans policy that allows creators to upload adult content such as photos and videos to chat.

To register for an account, OnlyFans only allows persons aged 18 years and over with proof of legal identity.

According to OnlyFans, how to make money from this site, for example, is to create fitness training video content and upload it.

YouTubers use it as income. The company revealed that creators with 10,000 followers can earn between US$499 or around Rp7.16 million to US$2,495 or around Rp35.8 million per month.

OnlyFans take a 20 percent cut of any revenue. This site has paid more than 700 million US dollars to content creators.

To access the content, users are required to pay a monthly subscription fee that ranges from US$4.99 to US$49.99, or around Rp. 71 thousand to Rp. 717 thousand.

But for those of you who can't afford a subscription, some content creators sometimes present content that can be accessed for free.

OnlyFans announced in August 2021 plans to ban sexually explicit content from their app. This is due to pressure from banking partners and related payment providers. However, due to negative reactions from the creators, the policy was cancelled.

Despite being nicknamed the “medium of naughty content”, OnlyFans still supports content creators engaged in other fields such as musicians, chefs, fitness trainers or gamers, regardless of whether they are amateurs or professionals.

A number of artists, musicians, and gamers also register on this application to promote their work. Actresses such as Cardi B, Bella Thorne, Shea Coulee, to Michael B. Jordan are examples.

As a platform that is not yet widely accepted by the public, OnlyFans and its creator content continue to carry out corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities. As Kaylen Ward did in January 2020, she successfully raised more than US$1 million in donations to help recover from the bushfires that hit Australia.

What do you think about OnlyFans going global? This application can actually be a forum for content creation that is popular in Indonesia, regardless of the recklessness of Dea OnlyFans.
