@northem
@theconradparker (ignored me)
@rezzzv (still on after he said he would look into it--so declined)
@shanethomas0 (just turned it on as of 8/16)


***@toranssexlife ( turned his off)***


As of 8/25/23:

irish-x (declined and his vids dating back to 2021 have no cumshot. You have to get vids sent to your inbox to see anything which he does't put upfront on his wall.
@bigdeepete (declined)
@craigkennedy (declined)
@geordiejaxxxon (appears to be on and off at times)
@pussyslayer440 (Mostly PPVs, all short clips)
@lewisxrowe (said he is looking into it but never turned off)

****UPDATE: whattheefffans turned it off for now so I can see the his vids yay!!)***

As of 9/1/23 :

@nathansworld777 --turned off after I explained about the playback issues/unable to cast.
Then went on a rant about how this is like Netflix and no one should be able to download
anything. Long story short--its on. LOL.

As of 9/8/23:

@artofnudess --Really nice guy seems super sweet, said he will look into it, but it is still on.

@reecehunk (declined)

As of 9/22/23:

@deepdick10x7 (ignored)--Also most of his vids are teaser and don't get to see the full cumshot. All full vids are mostly through DM.
@cheekycouple69vip (declined)

@randhyjr ******Turned off DRM****


As of 9/29/23:

@jake-preston (declined)--said all his PPVs will be in DRM, soo guess what? You can buy a vid and not own, you are restricted on how to view it, and the quality changes and sucks. When will they learn they are just hurting the consumers that support them.
@mika_ayden (older vids very little PPV, then switched over to basically an all PPV model including DRM after May.)

I feel like once they get DRM usage to a particular percentage... they are gonna roll out something for photos.
If they do that I think even moreso they may be at serious risk of overmilking it and killing the goose that lays the golden egg.

@tradesmancock also has DRM enabled, which is a shame because his videos are hot

But if I had known about DRM I wouldn't have signed to his OF.

GitHub - sim0n00ps/OF-DL: C# console app to download all of the media from Onlyfans accounts with DRM video downloading support

...and folks can watch the tutorial video here: OF DL Tutorial.mp4

----

It's a process to get things going but it does work. I can now download DRM videos from OF. This maybe the only solution. I don't see an extension being available anytime soon that will be able to just allow us to download content as before. There's more processes involved just to get a video.
I found this method very technical and complicated...
I wasn't able to. It's not possible that it would be that difficult to create a browser extension or an app that simplifies this entire process with just a few clicks

I assume creating an app that is intended to help people violate copyright law is not going to appeal to most developers

It frustrates me to no end that 99% of OF models refuse to listen to their customers and accuse you of stealing their content whenever you complain about DRM. DRM is illogical and undoubtedly taking money out of their pockets, but they can't (or won't) think hard enough about it to realize that.

A simple hypothetical can illustrate this. Say you have 200 subscribers a month at $10/month without DRM, but your content gets leaked. You are making $2,000/month from subscription fees (plus whatever revenue you bring in from customs, PPVs, selling underwear, etc.).

But you are pissed off that people are getting your leaked content for free, so you turn on DRM. I think its pretty clear by now that turning on DRM will lose you subscribers. Lets be conservative and say you only lose 20 subscribers (in reality, it is very likely much more than that). Now you are only making $1,800/month plus you lose any extra revenue those 20 subscribers would spend.

But maybe the people that were previously stealing your content will now subscribe because they can't get it for free anymore? LMAO ... not a chance. You are throwing away money by turning on DRM. You are paying at least $200/month (in reality, much more) for the peace of mind that comes from knowing that people aren't sharing your content for free. Plus, no one other than your subscribers even knows you exist because you are too fucking lazy to market anything and your content can't be easily shared.

No to mention the fact that the DRM doesn't even really stop those that are dead set on saving your content anyways. So you are only punishing your loyal fans by giving them a much, much worse experience on your site and preventing anyone that simply wants to download your content for their own private consumption (and not share it).

Sorry for the rant ... this just really pisses me off and has completely ruined OF IMO. I thought models would figure this out sooner rather than later, but they are too stubborn and full of themselves to even consider stuff like this.

tl;dr: DRM sucks!

We should have had an extension by now. Developers are struggling to bypass it. I knew this DRM thing was gonna be an issue. I remember when porn sites started using DRM in the mid 00s and developers were having issues to rip such content then. Now in 2023 there is no formative way to do so unless you are willing to install various elements and go through various steps.

OF and its content creators are stupid if they think I'm gonna buy PPV that I will never own. Any page that has DRM on is not getting my coins, period.
Not only have studio porn sites abandoned their foolish DRM endeavor from like a decade ago, most of them explicitly permit and facilitate downloading their content. I've seen some even encourage it (e.g. "add it to your library").

OF caters to their "creators" demands at the expense of consumers, and the "creators" are too stupid to realize how badly they are shooting themselves in the foot by demanding this stuff.

I remember reporting some guy for using images from tumblr that were not him. Onlyfans only gave him a warning but his page is still active all those years later from my report. Someone who is on the do not post list I can’t mention because he name searches and gets threads taken down was also doing this.

Another user on lpsg called him out with proof of him stealing images from Google and lpsg closed the thread because he name searches. I mentioned both creators when I wanted a refund for a deleted page who never delivered on a custom and they asked me for proof as if I made up those two creators stealing images to pass off as their own. Their support is the worst.

Needless to say, I never got my money back, despite pointing out their hypocrisy in how they pick and choose which rules to enforce.

I was spending about $200/month on onlyfans (which sounds like a lot! Haha!) and now because of DRM, I’ve dropped to five subscriptions and I’ll probably let them expire and shut down my OF altogether.

So DRM? Well, the effect is that people who happily pay for porn and just going to wait for the leaks (like we did five years ago.)

Well said!! Funny thing is I have subscribed to creators by coming across some of their free stuff!! I would have possibly not known about them unless I saw it this way! In a way some free stuff draws more audience because I wanted to see more!!
