Low-wage chats behind the OnlyFans boom
BBC profiles a Philippines-based 'chatter' who pretends to be an OnlyFans model in online chats, earning under $2 per hour despite targets to drive sales. The job is emotionally taxing, morally troubling, and largely unregulated, prompting union concerns about worker protections. Some agencies offer up to about $4/hour, but legal risks loom under local anti-pornography laws, while OnlyFans says its relationship is with the creator, not the chat workers.
