FanCentro
FanCentro is a subscription-based website platform created in 2017[1] to help adult film performers and others sell access to their private social media accounts.[2] Due to rampant deplatforming and shadow banning of sex-related content,[3] the platform now allows fans to subscribe to content feeds directly on the site.[4] The company has been a vocal defender of the rights of sex workers.[5]
2020 production hold
During the 2020 coronavirus pandemic and shutdown, paid social networks like FanCentro, OnlyFans and JustForFans experienced significant growth after mainstream adult production was halted.[6][7] FanCentro says it saw a rise of 65% in new daily sign-ups in the first weeks of the shutdown.[8] By May 2020, the site boasted over 190,000 models (up from 15,000 in September 2019 and 6,000 in July 2018)[9] with 19,000 signing up in the preceding two months alone.[10]
The rise of premium social networks such as FanCentro is a significant shift in the structure of the porn industry, as performers can own and continue to profit from their work and better control working conditions.[11][12]
