Gossip: The New Frontier Of The Culture War

Is entertainment being weaponised as part of a culture war? Why aren’t we celebrating OnlyFans? The business is a massive UK success story. What can the way The Guardian asks for money tell us about subscriptions?

OnlyFans was started by Tim Stokely in London in 2016 and has risen to be a billion dollar company but it is rarely spoken about. Is the platform’s core content the reason people seem hesitant to shout about a British success story?

The Guardian now has well over a million paying ’supporters’. How has what could be framed a polite way to request support driven their success?
