Glossary
The vocabulary that decides what an account actually costs you. Every term here is one that shows up in reviews — we have deliberately not padded this with words nobody searches for.
PPV — pay-per-view — is content locked inside a message that costs extra on top of your subscription. You see a blurred preview and a price, and you pay again to open it. On many accounts PPV, not the subscription, is where most of the money is actually spent.
A chatter is a person employed to send messages from a creator’s account. They are usually employed by a management agency, work in shifts, and are typically paid on the revenue they generate from the conversations they handle.
A bundle is a prepaid multi-month subscription sold at a discount to the monthly price — three months for the price of two, for example. You pay the whole amount up front and the discount applies to the full period.
A free trial link is a genuine platform feature: a creator generates a link giving limited-time free access to their paid account. It is also the single most impersonated thing in this industry, because a fake one is trivial to make.
A tip menu is a published price list of specific things a creator will do or send for a given tip amount. It turns tipping from an open-ended gesture into an ordering system with fixed prices.
A custom request is content commissioned to your specification and made after you pay. It is the highest-risk transaction in this industry for one structural reason: you pay in advance for something that does not exist yet.
A mass DM is one message sent simultaneously to every subscriber, or to a segment of them. It arrives in your inbox looking exactly like a personal message, because on most platforms there is no visible difference.
Drip feeding is releasing content on a schedule rather than all at once — a set spread over weeks instead of posted in one go. Every platform has tooling for it and most organised creators use it.
GFE — girlfriend experience — describes an account sold on personal, ongoing conversation rather than on content alone. The product is the sense of a relationship, and messaging is the main thing being paid for.
Auto-renew is the default state of a subscription: it charges again at the end of each period until you turn it off. Turning it off stops the next charge and does not end the period you have already paid for.
A paywall is any barrier requiring payment before you can see something. On creator platforms there are usually several layered on top of each other: the subscription, then tier gates, then per-message unlocks.
A co-manager is a platform feature letting a creator grant someone else access to their account with defined, revocable permissions, without ever sharing a password. It is the legitimate mechanism for agency involvement, and its existence is why nobody has a good reason to ask for a creator’s login.
An OFM agency — "OnlyFans management" — is a company that operates paid creator accounts on behalf of creators: scheduling, editing, messaging and marketing, usually for a substantial share of revenue.
Geoblocking is a creator restricting access to their content by country or region, so people in blocked locations cannot find or view the account. Most platforms offer it, and creators use it for privacy.
On this platform, a verification code is a short string a creator places in the public bio of the account they are claiming. Because only the account holder can edit that bio, placing it proves control.
