Let us emphasize that this is not the first time such practices have been exposed. We have previously informed you about this and explained how members detect chatters on creator pages.

One of the first reports that "managers/chatters and other agency staff" were working in place of models came in 2021 when former employees of an OnlyFans agency came forward and shared their experiences with journalists.

The "exposé" of the agency included issues such as chatters violating the privacy of personal messages, questions about the legality of these practices, complaints from models about unauthorized nude content being posted, stories of salary theft, publicized firings, as well as hidden fines in contracts and penalties of $300,000 if a model left the agency.

All of this was tied to the standard statement, "The adult industry exploits its workers," and was eventually forgotten. You can read more about it here.

However, the Western audience on Reddit began raising questions.

At first, they complained that many girls on OnlyFans communicated in exactly the same way and constantly tried to sell them something—you can see discussions on this here.

By 2022-2023, "agencies" started popping up everywhere. Why the quotes? Because most of them came from the "make money online for free, no registration or SMS" sector. These were marketers, traffic arbitragers, traffic buyers, and info-hustlers—people with no real connection to the adult industry, just looking to make a quick profit.

The first to notice this trend were the models themselves. They were enticed with promises of guaranteed success, page growth up to $50k per month (figures varied from $10k to $200k), and images of mansions, cars, and parties with 100+ people. These agencies claimed to be ready to work with any aspiring (or already established) model. However, in most cases, it turned out to be more about collecting money from models rather than actual management and growth. You can read more about this here.

One of the main downsides mentioned about such agencies was that the chatters would treat your members poorly, with little regard for customer service or building meaningful relationships.

And judging by what I see on a large number of pages, this trend has made its way to the Russian-speaking segment and has firmly taken root.

After about a year of this treatment of the mass consumer, people began asking, "WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL?!" and started seeking answers from others who had also been deceived, hurt, and offended. And they found them. For example, here, where a former chatter explained what their job really entailed.

Over the two years that this information has circulated online, articles, guides, and checklists on how to identify when a page is managed by someone other than the model herself have started to emerge.

Here’s a list compiled by members:

1. Terms of endearment like "baby," "honey," or "love" used with no prior connection or familiarity.
2. Models supposedly living in Europe or the U.S. but displaying poor English skills, or Asian models with perfect English.
3. Good English in posts but poor English in messages.
4. The model is always available, online 24/7.
5. Inconsistent responses with varying messaging styles.
6. Promoting other models’ pages.
7. An excessive amount of PPV content without a proper reason (not in dialogue or part of weekly new content).
8. No video/audio message verification.
9. Immediate sales pitches within the first minutes of a conversation.
10. Overly enthusiastic initiative from the model.
11. Lack of detailed or personalized information in the profile description.
12. Weak or nonexistent social media presence.
13. No personal posts in the profile feed.
14. Impersonal communication with no interest shown in the member.

Let's analyze the investigation from REUTERS:

• Key points of the investigation
• Our subjective reaction to it
• What consequences it will have
• What we should do about it.

Theses:

• All sales in OF chats through chatters have been labeled as fraud and deception, and there have already been lawsuits against this practice (both against OnlyFans and agencies).
• OnlyFans may face legal liability—it's a matter of time, as it concerns member data and confidentiality.
• Chatters indicated that they profit from men's loneliness and shared the tricks they use (guilt induction, verifications, impulse sales, ready-made scripts/scenarios).
• Agencies confirmed that content is created over many weeks and that "real-time chats" on OF do not exist.
• The investigation looked into the inner workings of chatters and the services/AI they use (services did not comment on this).
• OnlyFans did not comment on the fact that their rules prohibit creators from using AI (chatbots), but they are still used.
• OnlyFans claims it is not responsible for the actions of creators, but experts disagree.

What do we think about this article?

Consequences of this article:

• Other media may pick it up and dig even deeper (and much has already been uncovered).
• Courts in the US and Europe have already turned their attention to OnlyFans, and thinking this will end "without consequence" is naive.
• Suspicion among members will increase (for those already facing issues with traffic and chatters on their pages, brace yourselves—earnings will become even more challenging). The higher the client suspicion, the more errors and inconsistencies will be discovered, and the more creators will be at risk (the exact nature of the risk is still unknown).
• The main victims will be models, not agencies, chatters, or members. ESPECIALLY if OnlyFans is held accountable.
• Some users will stop using OnlyFans due to safety concerns and disappointment over being exploited.
• The demand for sexual satisfaction and the need to address loneliness won’t disappear. Therefore, those who invest in marketing strategies on their OnlyFans page, build closer connections with their audience, and improve communication quality will earn even more.
• Members will start looking for more honest/secure alternatives.
• The longer the old approach of "squeezing" members continues, the more problems it will create for everyone.
• Agencies will begin to shift towards quality traffic management, needing to move away from "quick manipulative sales and dumping" or leave the market. This could fundamentally change our labor market and the requirements for chatters.

These situations don’t mean that OnlyFans will shut down or that members will stop their activities. Let’s not jump to extremes or misunderstand the situation. Such scenarios and consequences indicate that the work of chatters is becoming more complex, and agencies need to adapt.
So, asserting that "nothing will change" is incorrect.

How to address increasing member suspicion?

Preventive measures for suspicion:

• Absence of 24/7 online presence—models are real people and cannot be available all the time.
• Comprehensive feed management with storytelling and engagement strategies.
• Assigning members to specific chatters or detailed information sharing among chatters to avoid inconsistencies in communication and varying writing styles.
• Detailed collection of member information.
• Detailed sexting scenarios that allow chatters to personalize interactions.
• During conversations, carefully read what the member writes, respond thoughtfully, maintain balance in communication, and keep interactions engaging.
• Do everything to increase member engagement and generate incoming sales (we'll discuss this soon).
• Selling calls and streams also boosts trust.

Check yourself against the list of red flags and improve your work. This will reduce situations where you need to prove you are a real model to zero.

If you’ve already encountered distrust from members, you know that they often request a photo with a specific gesture/expression, audio (rarely a call or photo with a written note).

1. Prepare a bank of verification photos/gifs with gestures and facial expressions 🤞🖖😉✌️😜🫰😃🤟✋🤚😘👌👍🤫🙏🏻🙋‍♀️🤷‍♀️🧏‍♀️. Ask the model to take numerous photos with different expressions and outfits for each sexting set and update this bank occasionally.
2. Prepare phrases in English and record audio with the model’s voice (or use neural networks). You can also compile popular male English names and create audio mentions of those names.
3. Periodically create simple audio messages about daily life for members (as if sharing with a friend).
4. Include audio in sexting scenarios.
5. Agree in advance with the model on which days and times she can be available for unforeseen situations.

The more prepared material you have, the better the verification during moments of suspicion. Try not to make the member feel guilty for their distrust—it heightens suspicion. Instead, show understanding, connect with them, and take their side, especially if the member has politely requested and explained their position.

Your task is to build the conversation up to the point of sales in such a way that the member never questions whether it’s a real model.

If you express emotions (including negative ones), set boundaries, and behave like a real person rather than a perpetually aroused sex doll, members will start to trust you more and, therefore, doubt you less.
