Because it reposts paid content for free, Thothub is being sued

Posted by Elijah on August 6th, 2022

Online influencers can share adult-only content on the website OnlyFans with fans who subscribe to gain access to it. For online models who want to provide more for their fans, it has been a great source of income. It's become more popular and appears to benefit content creators and their followers. But not everyone is being honest, and the creators won't stand by and allow people to take advantage of them. They also want websites to be aware that what happened to Thothub can also happen to them.

What is OnlyFans, and how is what happened to Thothub related to it?

Models can post videos and photos on a variety of social media sites in an effort to gain attention and get more work. These kinds of videos and photos have been posted on Instagram and TikTok, but there is one major obstacle: those platforms do not permit the posting of any R- or X-rated images or videos. The posting of that content violates the terms of service for the websites, and accounts may be disabled.

And that is what distinguishes OnlyFans from the competition. The site is a "social media platform where influencers are free to post whatever content they like — from softcore to X-rated — with fans able to pay for the privilege," according to PinkNews. What does the demise of Thothub have to do with OnlyFans, then? The creators who post on OnlyFans were the target of a Thothub attack, it turned out.

Thothub is being sued for reposting content from OnlyFans

According to VICE, Deniece "Niece" Waidhofer, an OnlyFans content creator, is suing Thothub for publishing images that were previously hidden behind a paywall on OnlyFans. Model niece depends on the monthly income from her OnlyFans page. According to VICE, she sells her semi-naked content to subscribers on OnlyFans for .99 a month and has over 1.9 million Instagram followers. She's discovered her semi-naked pictures and lingerie pictures on Thothub over the past few months.
