Ryder Vale, journalist and writer for Only Fans Insider Magazine There’s a specific kind of modern fame that looks like freedom until it doesn’t. One minute you’re a 20-year-old creator with a recognizable look, a recognizable car, a recognizable name—moving between cities, building a brand across platforms, turning attention into income the way this decade taught a whole generation to do. The next minute, you’re a headline. According to El País, Nicole Pardo Molina —known

Category: Apparently This Is News By Lila Monroe — Only Fans Insider Magazine I want to be honest about how this landed on my desk. Joseph sent me the Yahoo Entertainment link with a familiar, dry caption: “Apparently this is news.” No commentary. No instructions. Just a link and that quiet nudge he gives when he wants me to look past the headline and into the subtext. The article itself—originally published by Yahoo Entertainment —does exactly what mainstream entertainment

Written by Ryder Vale, journalist and editorial writer for Only Fans Insider Magazine When Joseph dropped the Forbes link in my inbox, it came with his usual half-joking, half-serious energy: “Read this. Then tell me what’s actually going on.” I clicked it at my kitchen table with a coffee that had already gone cold, the kind of morning where your phone feels heavier than it should. The headline glowed back at me like a neon sign on a rain-slicked street: “Creator Startup F

By Lila Monroe — Only Fans Insider Magazine When the Yahoo Entertainment piece about Bonnie Blue hit my screen — “OnlyFans’ Bonnie Blue Postponing Her Record Breaking Sex Stunt” — I didn’t read it the way most people do. I didn’t read it for the shock, the spectacle, or even the controversy. I read it like someone who sits every day in the gap between creators and the stories told about them. I read it like an editor who has spent the last several months inside Only Fans In

-Lila Monroe, staff writer at Only Fans Insider Magazine I read the Daily Mail’s piece about Kerry Katona late one night in Brooklyn, the way I read most things now — phone in one hand, tea in the other, and a quiet sense that whatever I’m about to scroll through is going to say more about the media than it does about the person at the center of it. The headline does exactly what it’s designed to do: it hooks you with contradiction. Kerry Katona has made millions on OnlyFan

By Ryder Vale, staff writer and this week's gossip columnist (?) As soon as the Instagram Reel went live from creator @PiperRockelle, something interesting happened online: within about 34 minutes, fans began commenting not on the content itself, but on what they perceived as a bruise on her right upper arm. Comments like: “Does anyone see her bruises on her arm???” — @betsey_burghardt “Piper what happened to your arm?!?!!?!” — @y0_karma_ started piling up on social media soo

By Lila Monroe — Only Fans Insider Magazine When Joseph dropped that screenshot into Slack, his caption was almost casual: “There’s no link. All I have is this screenshot. Is this an ad? Or is there more to it? Want to research this and write an article? I’m curious your thoughts.” What seemed like a throwaway social media post from Pornhub — a brand most of us associate with adult entertainment — actually opened a door into a much larger conversation about positioning, valu

Ryder Vale on Florida politics, creator scapegoating, and why press matters more than ever When Joseph sent me this assignment, his message wasn’t subtle. It wasn’t polished. It was blunt. “This is why we work so hard to create a free press for content creators. Idiots like this guy are able to fill people’s minds with whatever he wants, because creators’ stories aren’t being told enough. I wish more content creators understood this.” Then he dropped the link. The story, firs

By Lila Monroe — Only Fans Insider Magazine When I read press releases like this one, I don’t read them the way mainstream media does. I read them the way someone does who has spent hundreds of hours inside creators’ drafts. Inside their half-written ideas. Inside their late-night submissions that start with excitement and end with exhaustion. Inside the reality of people who are building businesses without the safety nets most businesses take for granted. So when I read the

Ryder Vale on the Miami airport arrest, platform spectacle, and why creators need safer paths to fame When Joseph first sent me the links about two OnlyFans models being arrested at Miami International Airport, his note was refreshingly honest: “I don’t really know much about this one. Dig into it. See if there’s history here. But remember—our goal is to help creators build personal brands safely and lucratively.” So I did what any journalist does when the internet is already

Ryder Vale on ASN Lifestyle Magazine’s January 2026 cover star, Helen Bedd When Michael Ramos sent over the press release for ASN Lifestyle Magazine’s January 2026 issue , my first reaction wasn’t about the model, the sponsor list, or even the headlines. It was about timing. January 1st is a statement date. It’s when publications either play it safe—fitness resolutions, financial goals, vague promises of “a better you”—or they choose to declare who they are going to be for

By Lila Monroe, staff writer for Only Fans Insider Magazine Joseph didn’t send a brief. He didn’t send bullet points. He didn’t even send a link. He sent a sentence. “Google: Only Fans Insider Magazine Tip Jar feature and tell me what comes up.” That’s how a lot of my assignments start. Joseph doesn’t hand me conclusions — he hands me a direction and trusts me to walk into it honestly. Sometimes that leads to affirmation. Sometimes it leads to discomfort. This time, it led to

What writing about breasts taught me about language, respect, and why curiosity matters more than comfort By Ryder Vale, staff writer for Only Fans Insider Magazine When Joseph handed me this assignment, he didn’t sugarcoat it. “I want to push you into the uncomfortable. You good with that?” I paused. Not because I didn’t understand the topic— but because I did. This wasn’t about sex . It wasn’t even really about attraction . It was about anatomy , language , and how easily m

By Lila Monroe — Only Fans Insider Magazine When I first saw the screenshots, I didn’t gasp. I paused. That’s usually how I know a story matters. Piper Rockelle launching an OnlyFans account the moment she turned 18—and reportedly earning millions in her first day—was never going to land quietly. Not because of the money. Not even because of the platform. But because Piper isn’t just another influencer. She’s a mirror. And what people saw reflected back at them made them deep

By Lila Monroe, Journalist for Only Fans Insider Magazine I read Keily Blair’s post early in the morning, the way I read things that feel like they matter. Coffee untouched. Notifications ignored. The kind of quiet where you’re not just consuming words, but listening for intention. It wasn’t the numbers that made me pause—though $25 billion paid out to creators should stop anyone mid-scroll. It wasn’t even the Masters of Scale stage at Web Summit, or the calm authority wit

By Lila Monroe — Only Fans Insider Magazine There’s a graphic circulating on LinkedIn right now that’s being shared like a clever inside joke. On the left: a beautiful, smiling AI girlfriend. Perfect skin. Soft eyes. The kind of image designed to trigger comfort and attraction without effort. On the right: the same “girlfriend,” stripped down into exposed hardware— metal, chips, fans, circuitry—labeled “without makeup.” Most people scroll past it amused. Some laugh. Some rep

By Lila Monroe — Only Fans Insider Magazine I’ve been staring at this graphic for longer than I expected to. Not because it’s revolutionary. Not because it’s shocking. But because it quietly confirms something many creators have already been feeling in their bodies long before Instagram put words to it. Burnout didn’t come from a lack of creativity. It came from chasing something that was never meant to love you back. For years, creators were trained to perform for an algorit

At Only Fans Insider Magazine , we believe something fundamental has been overlooked in the creator economy. Content creators across platforms like OnlyFans, Fanvue, Fansly, and others represent the largest under-leveraged influencer group in the world. Millions of creators already have loyal audiences, daily engagement, and cultural relevance—yet most remain excluded from mainstream brand partnerships, retail collaborations, and traditional media recognition. The missing li

Lila Monroe and Ryder Vale unpack a new monetization model hiding in plain sight. Opening Thoughts — By Lila Monroe This conversation didn’t start with gear, gadgets, or affiliate links. It started with a question. A few weeks ago, Joseph Haecker — our Editor-in-Chief at Only Fans Insider Magazine — pulled Ryder and me aside and said something that stopped me mid-thought: “I think creators are leaving money on the table — not because they aren’t influential, but because they’

By Lila Monroe — Only Fans Insider Magazine There are moments in this industry that arrive quietly. They don’t announce themselves with controversy. They don’t trend on X. They don’t come packaged as “the next big thing.” They slip in sideways — almost unnoticed — and only later do you realize they changed the shape of the room. For me, that moment didn’t arrive through a viral stunt or a record-breaking earnings screenshot. It didn’t come from shock value or spectacle. It c
