Playboy Magazine makes a return and now it arrives in a digital format that is highlighted by online content creators in place of the classic traditional bunnies. It builds on the nature of OnlyFans as the new edition will also offer members exclusive access to paywalled content.
It will also be featuring some of the website's "most successful and up-and-coming creators” in the editorial content. The first cover of the relaunched magazine sees influencer Amanda Cerny. Ben Kohn, CEO at Playboy speaks about the pivoted new magazine, stating that “The mobile-first experience is designed to optimize creator and fan engagement and to enable creators to express themselves openly and to build intimate, authentic, and safe connections.”
