Overview of OnlyFans Growth in Ukraine
In 2023, the OnlyFans platform saw substantial growth in Ukraine, with almost 8,000 creators earning collectively approximately UAH 5 billion (around $135 million). This performance marks a significant increase from previous years, according to information shared by a Ukrainian legislator on social media.
Earnings and User Increase
The precise number of Ukrainian individuals benefiting from OnlyFans surged to 7,914. This figure represents a UAH 750 million increase over the total earnings from the past three years combined.
2024 Earnings Decline
Despite the previous year's growth, there was a notable drop in 2024 where only 152 Ukrainian creators officially declared their incomes, accumulating UAH 132.8 million (approximately $3.6 million). From these earnings, the government received more than UAH 13 million (about $352,000) in taxes. This decline raises questions about the factors influencing these changes in content creator earnings and declarations.
Impact of OnlyFans in Digital Economy
The data underlines the significant role of platforms like OnlyFans in shaping the digital content landscape in Ukraine. The growing popularity of such platforms indicates a broader trend towards digital content creation and online entrepreneurship in the region.
