"The most lewd stuff on our platform will be similar to the most lewd stuff on TikTok or Instagram."</p><p>Savannah Demers, a 22-year-old with 2.2 million TikTok followers, said the no-nudity rule was the main draw for her to join Fanfix, explaining that she wanted "an outlet that is at a calmer level and reputation than other platforms might give" to let her create content she is "comfortable with."</p><h2><strong>'Not a team of middle-aged men'</strong></h2><p><strong></strong></p><div type="image" title="From left: Cameron Dallas, Harry Gestetner, and Simon Pompan." height="1832" width="2442" msid="100587801" hostid="261"></div><p>Gestetner calls Fanfix "Gen Z-first, TikTok-first, mobile-first."</p><p>It has more than 50 staff members, who are mostly in their early 20s.

Fanfix takes a 20% commission on creators' earnings — the same rate as OnlyFans.</p><p>When SuperOrdinary bought Fanfix, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/cameron-dallas-subscription-startup-fanfix-acquired-by-superordinary-social-shopping-2022-7">Insider's Geoff Weiss reported</a> that there were plans for product collaborations with the platform's creators.</p><p>Gestetner said he's open with Fanfix creators in that he thinks they would always make more money on OnlyFans than Fanfix on a "per creator basis," because of the expectation that fans will be able to see nudity on OnlyFans.</p><p>Gandhi told Insider he didn't think the two platforms were competitors because they target different audiences.</p><p>"Both of these platforms are building brands for very specific creator demographics and psychographics. Expanding outside of those once established will be challenging," Gandhi said.</p><p>Gestetner said that he felt the booming subscriptions market was up for grabs and that Fanfix could even "eclipse" OnlyFans in a few years, though he acknowledges this is an ambition rather than a projection.</p><p>"The reality is, the creator economy itself shouldn't have existed in the first place, because Instagram, Facebook, and then eventually, TikTok, should have taken care of monetization, as well as discovery," Gestetner said.</p><p>"They failed at that. And they took advantage of the creators, and so a massive gap opened up for platforms like Patreon, platforms like us."</p><p><em><strong>Correction: May 30, 2023</strong> — An earlier version of this story included one reference that misattributed the source of Fanfix's sale price. The $65 million figure came from Crunchbase, not Harry Gestetner; Fanfix and Gestetner declined to confirm the amount.</em></p>
