This week the adult industry got rearranged. A new majority owner of OnlyFans. A federal lawsuit against creators for sharing their own content. An investigation on how AI is exploiting creators without consent. And AV crackdowns on multiple continents. Here is what you missed.👇 1) OnlyFans is officially woman-owned at a $3.15B valuation. Architect Capital bought a 16% stake for $535M. UK filings confirm Katie Chudnovsky, widow of late founder Leo Radvinsky, now controls 75% of parent company Fenix International. The new capital is going toward creator-focused financial services to address debanking and payment processor pressure. If those tools materialize, this changes how a lot of you bank, borrow and get paid. 2) A management company is suing OnlyFans creators in federal court over content they produced themselves. Nova Productions filed in Delaware against multiple creators, alleging copyright infringement for distributing material that had been posted on OnlyFans. The case will test who actually owns the content you make under an agency contract. Read every clause you sign. Get representation that knows the creator economy. Cases like this set precedent for years. 3) MIT Technology Review just dropped a deep investigation into how AI is exploiting adult creators. Our bodies are being scraped as training data. Our likenesses get cloned for scams. One scammer used an AI deepfake of a creator to steal $20,000 from a fan, then the fan blamed her. And the Take It Down Act, which was supposed to protect people, could be weaponized to mass-flag and scrub legitimate adult content from the internet. 4) Missouri just locked age verification into state law with a unanimous Senate vote. The bill covers any website where 33% or more of content is deemed harmful to minors, which sweeps in adult platforms plus Reddit and X. Missouri already had AV through regulatory action. Lawmakers are codifying it so a future administration cannot undo it. The governor is expected to sign. 5) Florida just collected $1.2 million from the parent company of XVideos and XNXX. WebGroup Czech Republic settled the Florida AG's lawsuit after ignoring formal compliance letters. They also have to use third-party verification vendor AgeGo going forward. This is the first major US settlement tied to a state age verification law. It will not be the last. This was a busy news week. There were actually nine stories I consider to be big news for sex workers. I wrote my whole breakdown of all nine news stories in ceosociety.app. Head over there to see all the news. I pinned it to the top so you can't miss it! I'm curious...which of these feels like the one nobody in your circle is talking about but probably should be?

You know who else makes podcasts and influencer content about sex work? Actual sex workers. Support, uplift and associate with your community rather than the vultures picking at us for their own profit. These parasites do not have our best interest, or our safety, in mind.

A creator inside CEO Society shared her full collab vetting system, from pre-shoot video calls to paperwork before anything else happens. If you're building your own collab process, this thread is a great place to start 👇🏼 ceosociety.app

Adult creators only: what's the one thing that separates a great collab from one you regret?

@dominatrixatlga you're so welcome! appreciate the kind words. 🥰

@sexworkceo Thanks for keeping us in the loop 🔁 girly! We need you 🥰😘

@puertorockxxx20 appreciate this feedback 🫶 it means more than you know!

@sexworkceo Thanks for keeping people informed 💯💯💯 if you treat this like an actual biz then this is an important post

@TajaEthereal I'd love it if you considered us in CEO Society your circle 🥹🙏 I certainly appreciate having you in there with us. I linked to the article in there but happy to link it to you here as well. 🫶

@sexworkceo I no longer have an "adult" circle, but I do find number 3 to be the most fascinating. A research study from MIT about AI's ethics with sexworkers as the subject can move the needle. I wanna read up on that.

@Angiegrey_xoxo That shows a solid diversification strategy 🙌

@sexworkceo 65% with being on 4 different platforms.

What percent of your adult content creator income comes from OnlyFans right now? 100%? 50%? 30%?

@_Lizzy_Mills_69 Having multiple streams, even if they’re still simple, already puts you ahead of relying on just one platform.

@sexworkceo I am currently on 2 clip sites and two socials.

If your entire strategy depends on one platform behaving in your favor you do not have a strategy. You have a hope.

@DANICAxDANALIx Sounds like you’ve been intentionally diversifying instead of staying locked into one platform, which can make a big difference long-term.

@sexworkceo Maybe 30%. I've been moving away for a while.

@stripclubwitch That’s actually a pretty solid split 👀

@sexworkceo roughly 25%

@darling666jones That drop says a lot about how volatile platform dependence can be 😅 definitely highlights why diversification matters more than ever.

@sexworkceo 50% this last tax year. Lowest since I started if I don’t count the year they just passed my account for no reason.

@HousewifeGinger 💯

@sexworkceo The struggle is real!

Me at 6pm: I will batch film everything this weekend and get so far ahead. Me at 6pm on Saturday: I will do it next weekend.

@GoddessKisu It really can mess with your mental state after a while 😕

@sexworkceo Camming when you’re in survival mode is soul crushing. When your rooms dead or people aren’t engaging even when your trying your hardest is a killer,

The cam struggle nobody warns you about: staying on through dead hours because logging off tanks your score, but dead air isn't exactly helping either.

Full context on why these two moves specifically, in Episode 184 of On The Whorizon: buff.ly/Uyo58ba

For OnlyFans creators.... Two moves worth making this week. 1) Know your exact platform split by revenue 2) Route some portion of new fans to a second platform Ninety days from now, you'll be glad you started. Diversification in the present landscape of adult is more important now then ever..

To the creator who has been doing this for years and still has days where it feels like starting over: that is what building actually feels like. 🫶

Nobody tells us how to network properly at conferences like XBIZ, AVN or Exxxotica. I’m sharing the exact approach I use so industry events finally lead somewhere for you. Watch the full course on YouTube: youtu.be/RSHrR68ulXM

There’s a deeper conversation here with Vanniall about trans creators, visibility, and building space in the industry: buff.ly/Seyq0jW Or explore all episodes here: buff.ly/SMD1jpO

I'll never forget this conversation I had with Vanniall when she came on the podcast awhile back. We talked about what it means to build space when you were never invited into it. She shared how trans creators often end up carving their own lane instead of waiting for the industry to expand for them. That means producing your own work. Setting your own tone. Building your own audience. The industry shifts because someone shows up anyway. Visibility changes culture when you refuse to disappear.
