'OnlyFans: Selling Sexy': Release date, plot, cast, trailer and all you need to know about Hulu documentary featuring Bella Thorne
OnlyFans has become one of the most-popular content-sharing platforms in recent times. The website gives the users a chance to earn money online by sharing any kind of content, including porn. The platform is widely used by sex workers to make money, and it saw a boom during the pandemic as it gave them an easy way to earn big bucks. However, celebrities such as Cardi B and Bella Thorne have also recently begun using it to make some money.
Apart from being a highly-popular website, OnlyFans is certainly controversial and has intrigued Hulu to explore the phenomenon in a new documentary titled ‘OnlyFans: Selling Sexy’. The upcoming documentary from ABC News will shed light on how the content-sharing platform helped millions of people earn an income amid the global health crisis. The streaming service shared a short teaser on its official Twitter account in which the users and celebrities talk about how OnlyFans transitioned itself from “Instagram, but for porn” to a “massive element of the pop culture zeitgeist right now".
