Does OnlyFans empower or exploit its content creators? Do subscribers make real connections? Nick Pell separates fact from fantasy on Skeptical Sunday.

Welcome to Skeptical Sunday, a special edition of The Jordan Harbinger Show where Jordan and a guest break down a topic that you may have never thought about, open things up, and debunk common misconceptions. This time around, we’re joined by writer and researcher Nick Pell!

On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:

  • Just the top one percent of OnlyFans creators earn a third of all revenue, while median earnings are just $150/month or less — far from the sensational headlines promising six-figure incomes that attract most new creators to the platform.
  • Most user interactions aren't genuine — about 70% of platform revenue comes from messaging, but creators often outsource chats to overseas workers or use AI chatbots, meaning subscribers aren't getting the authentic connection they're paying for.
  • Creating OnlyFans content creates serious long-term career risks. The digital footprint is permanent, making future employment difficult, and many creators face doxxing, stalking, harassment, and mental health issues including depression and PTSD.
  • The platform harbors exploitation and trafficking concerns. Investigations have documented patterns of coercion, "e-pimping," underage content, and cases where creators are controlled by abusive partners or managers who take their earnings.
  • Before pursuing any gig economy opportunity, research the realistic earnings, hidden costs, and long-term consequences. Ask yourself if the work aligns with your values and future goals, not just immediate financial needs.
  • Connect with Jordan on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube. If you have something you'd like us to tackle here on Skeptical Sunday, drop Jordan a line at [email protected] and let him know!
