Where does this OnlyFans data come from?
All statistics are derived from original research conducted by Pseudoface. We analyze real discussions from active adult content creator communities on Reddit — including r/onlyfansadvice, r/CreatorsAdvice, r/Fansly_Advice, and related subreddits — extracting self-reported data from thousands of creators.
How is the data collected and processed?
We use AI-assisted analysis to systematically read and categorize creator self-reports shared in public Reddit threads. Each response is classified into structured answer buckets, and confidence scoring ensures data quality. Every chart displays its sample size and the number of threads analyzed for full transparency.
Can I cite this data in my article or research?
Yes. Journalists, bloggers, and researchers are welcome to cite any statistic on this page. We ask that you link back to this page (pseudoface.com/onlyfans-statistics) as the source. You can also link directly to any individual chart using the share button on each card.
How often is this data updated?
This page is rebuilt with fresh data regularly. As we publish new research and analyze additional Reddit threads, new charts are added and existing ones might be updated with larger sample sizes. Check the date at the top of the page for the most recent update.
What makes this data different from other OnlyFans statistics?
Most OnlyFans statistics found online are recycled estimates from third-party reports or outdated press releases. Every chart on this page is based on original primary research — real data from real creators, not projections or estimates. Sample sizes and methodology are transparent for every statistic.
Are the sample sizes large enough to be reliable?
Sample sizes vary by topic and are clearly displayed on every chart. Some charts draw from hundreds of creator responses and others, usually the more niche, specific topics, only draw from a few dozen. We recommend checking the sample size on each individual chart when assessing reliability for your use case.
