This was reflected between November 20 and December 18, 2022, when OnlyFans creators were overshadowed by the Qatar 2022 Soccer World Cup.

And it is that it is not for less to speak of a “crisis” in the social platform for adults when one of the most important sports and entertainment events in the world is presented.

The impact is seen above all in the great trend that OnlyFans has had since its launch, since according to a report by We Are Social and Hootsuite, there are four thousand 620 million users worldwide, which represents an interannual growth of more than of 10 percent.

The OnlyFans star narrated how he had a devastating impact on the sexual content market during the sports season and his testimony managed to quickly go viral.

“My greatest victory will be to recover the attention of men. They prefer football to sex, they bet much more than they pay for my content. Let’s see if with the end of the Cup they go back to prefer a woman to a man chasing a ball”, explained the model to Portal UOL.

According to Karolay, who calls herself “the last virgin,” the soccer competition directly affected her work, as her income fell by as much as 60 percent.

Although there are no official figures from OnlyFans that confirm a downward trend among content creators, the young woman’s position is not so far-fetched if one considers that only in Mexico an average of 20.96 million viewers are estimated to follow the broadcast of the matches. .

What is a fact is that OnlyFans stories surprise every day because of how easy it seems to earn money and the type of content that users are looking for, which has caused hundreds of people around the world to change their trades and professions for this hobby.
