The site became known for its many successful sex-work creators.</p><p>On Thursday, however, OnlyFans <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/onlyfans-to-block-sexually-explicit-nsfw-content-starting-in-october-2021-8">announced</a> an upcoming ban on all sexually explicit content. The site will still allow users to post nude photos and videos, as long as the content doesn't violate OnlyFans' acceptable use policy, which prohibits illegal content, including footage of minors or content not owned by the creator.</p><p>Following the news, it's likely sex-work entrepreneurs will have to move their content to a competing site, many of which have recently emerged as OnlyFans creators spoke on the lack of respect from their home platform.
