OnlyFans chat operator has been a job for quite a while. It is well documented, with news exposes and everything. So if OnlyFans wants to protect themselves from a lawsuit on impersonation, the horses left the barn years ago.


A class action lawsuit alleges OnlyFans has deceived subscribers who, unbeknownst to them, communicate with paid chatters, and not actual creators themselves.



For how much these creators get paid per fan per month, does one really expect anything else? It’s not hard to imagine that many of them would be paid less than minimum wage if they actually responded to all their messages. But that much isn’t really that much different from the rest of the creator / gig economy.


Perhaps "less than minimum wage" is justified for the offering though? Most industries struggle to compete with free, that doesn't justify deception.


OnlyFans is just the platform, it's the creators that are doing the deception.


Does it really matter? The only question should be, did it get you off? If it did, you got what you paid for.


For a person who expects to talk directly to a creator, especially when being asked for money, I would say that it would matter.

And I am sure there are many men who believe they are talking to the creator and not a chatter or bot.
