My latest for The Hollywood Reporter— "Game of Porn: The Battle to Topple OnlyFans" — is out now. It's a story about platform power, creator economics, and what happens when a company builds an enormous, society-altering success on the backs (and the fronts, feet, etc.) of a community it's ambivalent about claiming. I reported it live from the ground at this year's XBIZ Miami, with several interviews with performers, creators, sex workers and platform reps. I never cease to be amazed by the incredible marketing skills of everyone in the adult community. They can talk (and think) circles around most vanilla digital media marketers, and they have the finger on the pulse. Twelve years covering this industry both for mainstream media and for trades has given me a unique vantage point, plus nuclear-grade storytelling skills. If you’re reading this, you know where to find me. Let’s talk. https://lnkd.in/gEhWc6hB
