CNBC Profiles FanCentro, OnlyFans, Other DIY Subscription Platforms

CYBERSPACE — On Sunday, CNBC profiled the phenomenon of “subscription porn,” a growing sector for adult models looking to monetize their own content via FanCentro, OnlyFans, Patreon and private Snapchat.

In an online adult industry “where billions of dollars a year flow to websites powered by ads and premium subscriptions,” writes CNBC’s Salvador Rodriguez, the models “are aiming to wrest some control from the content distributors and take a bigger slice of the economic pie. Just as independent musicians are trying to make money by going directly to their fans on SoundCloud and Bandcamp, and comedians are turning to Comedy Central’s Stand-Up Direct to sell uncut performances, women in porn are adopting the direct-to-consumer business model on the web and mobile devices.”

Regardless of the usual mainstream press’ blunders, assumptions and generalizations reporting on an industry they don’t fully understand — e.g., it’s not only “women in porn” who are using these platforms — CNBC did interview major behind-the-scene players in this burgeoning industry like FanCentro’s CEO Stan Fiskin. Fiskin described his company as “a premium social network.”

CNBC also interviewed several popular performers, like JunoLTK and LilPinkAlien, who gave accounts of their marketing strategies and business models.
