> So there is a good chance you can still have a career alongside it or switch from OF to a non sex related career easily.

I have no comment on the morals and ethics but as far as modern technology goes; most if not all of OnlyFans finds its way to darkweb | pirate | hoarder megasites where there's always a few because-we-can obsessed techlords training facial recognition, gait recognition, and seeding AI generated VR porn engines, etc.

We can be certain that any woman with an OnlyFans portfolio will face that being dragged up later in their life if they are at all slightly public.

They do have the modern available hand wave explaination of "deepfake by weird ex" that becomes more and more believable each passing day.

I fail to see how it would be limited to women with an OF portfolio and not any female with an instagram/tiktok/facebook/linkedin account? Deepfaking is an online abuse problem that can reach anyone who has a public photo online on the internet.

There are two things discussed in my comment.

\1 Real life identification via images posted online.

This can happen to anyone and more specifically it has a very high chance of happening to people who use OnlyFans and think they'll remain unknown - which runs counter to the opinion expressed here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41529846

     [ .. Nobody will know who you are .. ] So there is a good chance you can still have a career alongside it or switch from OF to a non sex related career easily.

\2 Deep faking is increasing in frequency and has yet to be countered.

This offers actual OnlyFans creators an "out" if they wish to have lives seperate to their OF persona's - they can claim anything dug up to be a deepfake (in the absence of any contrary metadata that's definitive).

It's also something that will plague anyone with images online; it's probable that in the future people will pay as little attention to photorealistic videos of Margaret Thatcher blowing Ronald Reagan as they do those of the girl next door getting filthy with a centaur.

Steps are being taken to counter deep fakes, those steps will likely fail to some degree.
