• Title: "Nudes? Shouldn't I charge for these?" : Motivations of New Sexual Content Creators on OnlyFans
• Authors: Vaughn Hamilton, Ananta Soneji, Allison McDonald, Elissa Redmiles
• Abstract summary: OnlyFans creators are uniquely positioned at the intersection of professional social media content creation and sex work. Our participants were motivated by three key factors: (1) societal visibility and mainstream acceptance of OnlyFans; (2) platform design and affordances such as boundary setting with clients, privacy from the public, and content archives; and (3) the pandemic.

• Abstract: With over 1.5 million content creators, OnlyFans is one of the fastest growing subscription-based social media platforms. The platform is primarily associated with sexual content. Thus, OnlyFans creators are uniquely positioned at the intersection of professional social media content creation and sex work. While the experiences and motivations of experienced sex workers to adopt OnlyFans have been studied, in this work we seek to understand the motivations of creators who had not previously done sex work. Through a qualitative interview study of 22 U.S.-based OnlyFans creators, we find that beyond the typical motivations for pursuing gig work (e.g., flexibility, autonomy), our participants were motivated by three key factors: (1) societal visibility and mainstream acceptance of OnlyFans; (2) platform design and affordances such as boundary setting with clients, privacy from the public, and content archives; and (3) the pandemic, as OnlyFans provided an enormous opportunity to overcome lockdown-related issues.

  Social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter provide platforms to share vast amounts of content with a single click. These platforms do not impose restrictions on the uploaded content, which may include abusive language and explicit images unsuitable for social media. We propose a new Bi-GRU-CNN model to classify whether the text is offensive or not.

  We study the creator economy as a three-party game between the users, platform, and content creators. We analyze two families of contracts: return-based contracts and feature-based contracts. We show that under smoothness assumptions, the joint optimization of return-based contracts and recommendation policy provides a regret.

  This paper unpacks the challenges workers face when consenting to workplace wellbeing technologies. We show how workers are vulnerable to "meaningless" consent as they may be subject to power dynamics that minimize their ability to withhold consent. To meaningfully consent, participants wanted changes to the technology and to the policies and practices surrounding the technology.

  We analyze two social media that enforced opposite moderation methods, Twitter and Gab, to assess the interplay between news consumption and content regulation. Our results show that the presence of moderation pursued by Twitter produces a significant reduction of questionable content. The lack of clear regulation on Gab results in the tendency of the user to engage with both types of content, showing a slight preference for the questionable ones which may account for a dissing/endorsement behavior.

  We compare the content of a women-oriented magazine with that of a men-oriented one, both produced by the same editorial group over a decade. With Topic Modelling techniques we identify the main themes discussed in the magazines and quantify how much the presence of these topics differs between magazines over time. Our results show that the frequency of appearance of the topics Family, Business and Women as sex objects, present an initial bias that tends to disappear over time.
