    The Ethics of OnlyFans – with Kaden and Tyler Hylls
    Oct 26 2020
    OnlyFans – a content creation network launched in 2016 – has quickly become a pop culture phenomenon, allowing fans to subscribe to creators’ channels and get privileged access to their content. Because OnlyFans is one of the few sites which allows creators to post explicit sexual and pornographic content, it has become extremely popular with sex workers: today a large proportion of the content on the site is people selling access sexy photos and video. James talks to Kaden and Tyler Hylls – two of the most successful content creators on OnlyFans – about their sex work, exploring the ethics of creating and selling sexual content. What are the reactions of fans to their work? Has it changed their relationship with each other? Do they think about sex differently now? Explore all this and more with this very adult episode of Ethics and Chill! (Seriously, this one is not for kids.)
