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

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, 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

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

And Why the Capital Conversation Needs a New Place to Live By Joseph Haecker Editor-in-Chief, Only Fans Insider Magazine Author of Founder Rehab I’ve spent most of my career inside startup ecosystems—long before “creator economy” became a respectable phrase, and long before adult platforms were discussed anywhere other than behind closed doors. I’ve sat in pitch rooms where the decks were flawless, the jargon was polished, and the founders knew exactly which words were suppos

An Unauthorised, Over-Caffeinated, Possibly Career-Ending Holiday Review by Elfred “Spice” McNaughty, Shelf Goblin & Unsupervised OFI Correspondent Elf on the Shelf, OF Insider holiday guest correspondent Let me paint the scene. It’s December. You’re decking the halls. Meanwhile, I’m perched on a shelf in a questionable lunge position, reading OF Insider articles like my life depends on it. (A quick note: it does not. I’m an inanimate spy doll with flexible morals. My only re

Thanksgiving Week 2025 — Only Fans Insider Magazine Overview by Ryder Vale Joseph asked Lila and me to sit down this week and write something about gratitude — a simple assignment on paper, but somehow one of the hardest ones we’ve had all year. Maybe because it’s Thanksgiving week, and everything online is either “gratitude lists” or “big Black Friday feelings.” Maybe because this year was fast. Faster than any of us expected. Maybe because slowing down long enough to reflec
