JustForFans (JFF) is a subscription-based content-sharing site that was designed specifically for sex workers and adult performers by sex workers and adult performers. The platform is helping to bridge the gap between performers and patrons while empowering performers to retain most of their earnings.
“Unlike other sites that are ‘mainstreaming’ and further marginalizing sex workers, we are built exclusively for sex workers,” Dominic Ford, creator of JFF and sex worker, states. “Every decision we make is centered around how it will help models make more money. Sites that are not built from people within the industry don’t understand the complete adult ecosystem.”
Moreover, the platform scans the internet hourly to identity and stop the pirating of the stolen content. This is a common problem for many adult performers and infringes on their rights and ability to earn an income.
