Online influencers can share adult-only content on the website OnlyFans with fans who subscribe to have access to it. For online models who wish to do more for their followers, it has been a terrific source of income.
It’s become more popular and appears to benefit content providers and their followers. But not everyone is being honest, and the designers won’t stand by and allow people to take advantage of them. They also want websites to be aware that what happened to Thothub can also happen to them.
What is OnlyFans and what does it have to do with what happened to Thothub?
Models can publish videos and photographs on a variety of social media sites in an effort to gain attention and earn more work. These kinds of films and photos have been posted on Instagram and TikTok, but there is one major obstacle: such platforms do not permit the posting of any R- or X-rated images or videos. The publishing of that content violates the terms of service for the websites, and accounts may be disabled.
And that is what distinguishes OnlyFans from the competition. The site is a “social media platform where influencers are free to publish whatever content they desire — from softcore to X-rated — with admirers able to pay for the privilege,” according to PinkNews.
What does the demise of Thothub have to do with OnlyFans, then? The creators who post on OnlyFans were the target of a Thothub attack, it turned out.
Thothub is facing a lawsuit after reposting OnlyFans content.
According to VICE, Deniece “Niece” Waidhofer, an OnlyFans content creator, is suing Thothub for publishing photographs that were previously hidden behind a paywall on OnlyFans. Model niece depends on the monthly income from her OnlyFans page. According to VICE, she offers her semi-naked content to customers on OnlyFans for $14.99 a month and has over 1.9 million Instagram followers. She’s discovered her semi-naked pictures and lingerie pictures on Thothub during the previous three months.
Niece is suing now, claiming that Thothub has been disobeying removal orders connected to copyright.
“Waidhofer’s published and unpublished works have been widely distributed around the Internet and seen by millions of people after being published on Thothub and downloaded by many of its one million+ members. Waidhofer has suffered and is still suffering harm as a result of this, according to the complaint, which was submitted by lawyer Brett S. Rosenthal of the firm Reese Marketos.
Days after Niece filed her lawsuit, Thothub went dark.
Thothub’s website was replaced on August 5 by a picture of the solar system and an email address after going offline. Even if Thothub is offline, the lawyer for the niece claimed that they are still working to hold businesses accountable.
According to Rosenthal, Thouthub “obviously saw the writing on the wall and realised it had no choice but to shut down its unlawful operation.” But this is just the beginning. For the devastation they caused, Thothub’s members as well as the businesses that supported its piracy will be held responsible. The era of online copyright lawlessness needs to come to an end.
Even though Thothub has been taken down, Niece and her attorney are still suing the business, as well as Chaturbate, BangBros, and Cloudflare, since these websites ought to be held liable for for-pay photographs that have been leaked for free.
