No OnlyFans definitely own that means of production although it’s arguably more akin to a feudal economic relationship as without looking into it I’m going to assume OnlyFans takes a cut and will accept correction if that’s wrong.
that feudal relationship is basically because OnlyFans (the company) is a more sophisticated than usual pimp in their business model
It is also worth noting that we are here talking about the extreme higher end of sex work and far and away not a representative sample of the level to which the industry as a whole relies on violence to control the worker’s bodies
When I said “digital space” I didn’t mean the app, but the channel itself. Of course, you are right that this is still inaccurate, as it’s more accurate to describe it like a lordly relation with the company, but the other items remained and I think there needs to be a closer analysis of what the “fan community” is and means to write it off as 100% OnlyFans. I don’t have the knowledge to do that analysis.
You are right that this is the extreme high end, but I did note exactly that in my earlier comments. The overall statement I was making was that things like this are the exception and sex workers (prostitutes especially) tend to very clearly proletarian.

I don’t think a feudal relationship is a particularly relevant comparison. OF functions a lot more like a larger marketplace that rents out stalls for smaller shops on a commission basis.
