In 2020 COVID-19 shut down the economy and left millions without jobs on short notice leaving them questioning how they would put food on the table at one of the worst time in their entire lives. Some found hope in the popular app OnlyFans. The website started out as a place for gym rats to sell content and workout plans to those looking to drop a few pounds. Soon the website would become a safe space for sex workers to flourish digitally. In the midst of the app’s rise in 2020, they even received a shoutout from Beyoncé in her verse on the “Savage” remix with Megan Thee Stallion. Needless to say, the platform had the best year it’s seen in a time when growth is the last thing most businesses are seeing.
