OnlyFans Founder Unveils A New Platform Called Subs

From porn king to platform pioneer, OnlyFans’ founder Tim Stokely is back and he’s building something bigger than ever.

Tim Stokely is back and he’s coming in hot. The man who helped launch a platform that revolutionized adult content is now behind Subs.com, a brand-new space that wants to give creators more freedom, better tools, and fewer restrictions.

Unlike OnlyFans, which made its name through adult content, Subs is open to everyone. In an interview with PR Newswire, Stokely explained his motivation:

“There’s a clear demand for a subscription platform that gives creators everything they need in one place. Creators have been telling me what they want, and that’s exactly what we’ve built with Subs.”

The Man, the Myth, the Comeback

Before building his new empire, Tim Stokely was already a legend in the online creator space. Born in Essex and once called “the king of homemade porn,” Stokely co-founded OnlyFans in 2016 with his brother and a £10,000 loan from their father.

In five short years, he transformed it into a global sensation, drawing in millions of creators and users and building a reputation as one of the boldest names in tech. He stepped down in 2021, but it was never going to be goodbye for long. Now, Tim Stokely is back with Subs, and this time, he’s casting a wider net.

Subs doesn’t just want adult creators. It wants podcasters, fitness coaches, musicians, influencers, and every niche in between. Stokely’s mission is simple: let creators create, connect, and cash in all in one place. And he’s betting big on that model

From OnlyFans to All Fans

So, what makes Subs different? A lot, actually. This isn’t just another copy-paste platform it’s been built from the ground up with flexibility and monetization in mind. 

The platform features an “Explore” tab for discovery (think Instagram), a “Shows” feature for long-form content and podcasts (hello, YouTube), and even 1:1 video and audio calls where fans can pay to connect directly with their favorite creators. They can split revenue, team up with others, and cash in through a partner program that rewards community growth. 

Subs focus on safety, security, and flexibility. Creators go through strict age and ID checks, all content is moderated with AI-assisted tools, and Inclusivity is a major theme. Whether you’re into fitness, fetish, or finance, there’s room for you. 

“We’re not just building on what’s been done before. We’re creating something wider reaching, with unique and exciting features that allow creators to monetise more effectively.”

New Game, Same Player. Tim’s All In!

With Subs.com, Tim Stokely is proving he’s not done changing the rules. He’s gone from OnlyFans to Subs, and every move feels bigger than the last.

In April, as TikTok faced a U.S. deadline to sell or be banned, Stokely made a surprise bid through Zoop, a social media platform he co-founded. The pitch? Give creators 80% of ad revenue directly, something no major platform is doing right now.

Backed by the HBAR Foundation, it’s a bold, crypto-powered move to flip the social media economy upside down. And if it works, it could give creators even more control than ever before. Tim Stokely doesn’t just spot trends; he builds the platforms people flock to next.

Classic Tim move: see the money, follow the creators, and launch a platform that pays out more than just likes. He’s not chasing clout, he’s chasing conversion rates. Stokely’s always had a sixth sense for where the creator economy is headed, and Subs might just be his next jackpot.

“If Kylie Jenner converted just 0.5% of her Instagram following onto Subs, with a $10 per month subscription, she’d generate around $20 million per month in income from subscriptions alone.”                             

More Than Just a New Playground

Tim Stokely isn’t dipping his toes back in he’s cannonballing straight into the deep end. With Subs, he’s not just launching another creator site. He’s building a full-scale digital playground with no filters, no middlemen, and no limits.

From real-time calls to long-form shows and killer payout rates, Subs feels less like a clone and more like the next evolution of the creator economy. It’s raw, it’s flexible, and it’s giving power back to the people who actually make the content. Forget playing it safe. Stokely is swinging big and this platform isn’t just aiming to keep up.

The real question? Can Subs live up to the legacy of OnlyFans or even top it?
