Piper Rockelle's OnlyFans Launch Achieves Record Earnings
Former YouTube sensation Piper Rockelle has reportedly earned a staggering $2.9 million within a single day after debuting on the subscription-based platform OnlyFans. Rockelle, initially known for her engaging content on YouTube, broadened her reach to OnlyFans, sparking significant online discourse about the move.
Earnings Breakdown and Social Media Announcement
The announcement of her substantial earnings was made through her X (formerly Twitter) account, where Rockelle expressed her gratitude with the post: "My first day! Forever grateful." Prior to this, she claimed in a now-deleted tweet to have accrued $1 million in under an hour, setting a probable record for the fastest earning on OnlyFans.
Controversy and Defense
The decision by Rockelle to join OnlyFans, a platform often associated with adult content, has been met with mixed reactions. Critics, including some observers online, have expressed concern over the perceived pressures and influences that may have guided her career path towards such platforms at a young age.
Rockelle has, however, staunchly defended her decision to use OnlyFans, arguing that it was entirely her choice. She mentioned in a statement, "It's nobody’s decision but mine. I feel like if my viewers are allowed to joke about [me starting an OnlyFans when I turn 18], then I am. Why would I let them get the laugh when I should get it first? Because it’s my life, not theirs."
Additional Scrutiny
The influencer's choice has not only led to discussions about her career moves but also drawn criticism towards her family. Some commentators accuse her mother of steering her towards OnlyFans. Others suggest that various factors, including social media algorithms and her upbringing, have treated Rockelle more as a product than an individual.
