*** True Love (For a Price): Understanding the Rise of Only Fans: https://youtu.be/8RzSLVm0gRo ***
As OnlyFans re-commits to enabling adult content on its platform, these streaming services overshadow another major App that is arguably even more dangerous.
BIGO Live is aimed at teenagers, encouraging them to broadcast themselves openly online in order to attract gifts or 'beans'. These 'beans' are then exchanged by creators for US dollars.
While it markets itself as promoting emerging performers, artists and innovators, in reality the vast majority of creators are very young women dancing in their bedroom in front of a camera. Unlike OnlyFans with creates a direct subscription with the user, BIGO Live is an open platform viewable by the whole world.
Crispin reviews this App with a degree of horror, pointing out its dangers to young people and explains how it has managed to evade scrutiny all this time, despite 400 million downloads and 40 million active users.
