FanCentro
FanCentro is a subscription-based website platform created in 2017 to help adult film performers and others sell access to their private social media accounts. Due to rampant deplatforming and shadow banning of sex-related content, the platform now allows fans to subscribe to content feeds directly on the site. The company has been a vocal defender of the rights of sex workers.2020 production hold
During the 2020 coronavirus pandemic and shutdown, paid social networks like FanCentro, OnlyFans and JustForFans experienced significant growth after mainstream adult production was halted.
FanCentro says it saw a rise of 65% in new daily sign-ups in the first weeks of the shutdown. By May 2020, the site boasted over 190,000 models with 19,000 signing up in the preceding two months alone.
The rise of premium social networks such as FanCentro is a significant shift in the structure of the porn industry, as performers can own and continue to profit from their work and better control working conditions.
