For over a decade, I’ve worked as one of the leading MILFs in the adult industry.

There's a sentence that I didn't expect to read.

I have witnessed over and over again my friends and I losing our social media accounts

If someone robs my home, I have insurance. If someone takes my social media pages, I lose tons of future revenue. You can’t insure your Instagram account as an OnlyFans creator.

I don't use Instagram or OnlyFans. But I'd bet that they have some form of two-factor authentication.

OnlyFans does have two-factor authentication. Sounds like a time-based one-time-password.

Two step verification is recommended and encouraged to keep your OnlyFans account secure.

How to set up two step verification

To enable two step verification:

• Download either the Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator app to your smartphone from the app store.
• Log into your OnlyFans account and go to your "Account" Settings: https://onlyfans.com/my/settings/account/2fa
• Click the toggle near "Two step verification" on the security page.
• Follow the instructions to add the QR code or the Key provided to your Authenticator app. This will link the Authenticator app with your OnlyFans account.
• Enter the 6-digit code from your Authenticator App into OnlyFans. Please note that a new code is generated every 30 seconds and each time you open the app, so be sure to use the most up-to-date code.

If you're really worried, get a dedicated smartphone, and never connect it to the Internet or a phone network, and use that as your physical authentication token. Back up your key in a safe deposit box or something.

Maybe OnlyFans should have some kind of different policy, like forcing use of two-factor authentication or something once revenue on an account rises above a certain point. Like, expecting random adult entertainer to evaluate the security of various authentication options they provide maybe isn't reasonable.

But that really seems like it should avoid people simply "losing" their accounts.

It's really hard to find any sympathy for people whose entire business model is to leach money from young impressionable men. It's almost like their asking "Please stop extorting us, so we can continue extorting our own clientele in peace." And don't tell me that all those men are giving up their money voluntarily. It's like saying the gambling addicts put their money in the slot machine volutarily, therefore it's not a problem. No self-respecting individual in their right mind would or should enter his card information and buy naughty pictures of some rando, while there's a backlog of billions of them online for free. Rub one out and get in with your day.
They can themselves "sex workers" while there is literally zero sex in their work. Imagine thinking that posting pictures of "yourself wearing short skirts" ads any value to society. Actual sex workers at least provide physical and social comfort, even if it's just an act, it's still a professional form of commitment.
Do those women ever stop and think why there is no one stepping in for them and preventing this scam from happening? Almost like what they do has zero value to people with the actual power to do so.
Maybe take a long hard look at yourself and see your accounts being suddely deleted as an opportunity to freshen up that resume of yours and get a real job with taxable income.

Also the fact that this is happening to the 0.0X% of highest earners, is ironic. Usually, it's the lower end that gets scammed the most.
