OnlyFans lost its purported audience years ago, when they made the decision to include human adult content in addition to fan-related content only. The adult content quickly took over and now you can barely find anything relating to fans on there.

Reddit is a much better place for that now, and if you aren't particularly precious about documentary-style fact reporting, you're much better off browsing r/fanfiction.



I think the joke blew right past you.

> blew right past you.

This thread is a train wreck


Not a blowout?


I just quoted two jokes! You cannot in any reasonably way infer I missed anything. Maybe I just do that!


Alas, I'm afraid that was you.


What with so many fans, it shouldn't be too surprising that jokes are just blowing every which way.


You seem a bit stuffy. Might need to cool off.


Noctua makes fans.

OnlyFans…

Get it?


The joke is that OnlyFans was for fans but was taken over by humans. Now it's not funny because I've had to explain it.


I'm sorry :/ I even included the r/fanfiction at the end, but that was also apparently too obscure.


I think there were plenty of signs for the reader. My pet theory is that overly verbose llms have trained people to skim text instead of reading it. I've certainly noticed more cases than usual of people not reading HN comments thoroughly enough in the last six months


I’m sorry too. my stupid jokes in response to yours earlier were just me taking advantage of bad fan puns but others seem to have jumped on the downvote bandwagon.


Daaamn I missed that, though it only worked on one level, as it hadn't blown past me!


My “cool off” comment was a bad pun too


haha true, though I don't think that's what GP meant


> you're much better off browsing r/fanfiction.

The punchline is buried a little bit too deep, but pretty sure they're just playing along.


I thought "when they made the decision to include human adult content in addition to fan-related content" in the first sentence was already pretty obvious
