Former child star YouTuber Piper Rockelle has appeared to joke that she might quit OnlyFans shortly after joining the platform aged 18.
She started appearing in YouTube videos when she was eight years old and gained around 12 million subscribers, while her TikTok following boomed to over 18 million.
Then when she turned 18 she joined OnlyFans and claimed that she made a huge amount of money as lots of people subscribed to her, sharing a screenshot which claimed she made more than a couple of million dollars on the first day.
It turns out there's a lot of people on the internet who are very quick to hop on the chance to pay money for this sort of thing and Rockelle said that since joining OnlyFans in the new year her subscriptions had been 'changing my life'.

Not everyone's a fan as some said it was 'disturbing' that people would spend money on someone's OnlyFans 'as soon as they turn legal age'.
Now she's said she might leave the platform and go to college instead, though it's hard to know how seriously to take any of this.
In a recent video posted to Instagram she appeared with her fingers crossed and spoke in a sarcastic tone as she appeared to joke about the prospect of quitting OnlyFans.
She said: “I think I'm going to go to college, I'm going to scratch OF and I am never going to do that again, that was not me, not what I was passionate in.
“I hated taking all those beautiful divine photos, they were disgusting and you should definitely not go look at them because you will probably be sick to your stomach.
“Erm, so yeah, I am going to go to college, let me know what colleges I should look at.”
Given her tone and the crossed fingers that may not be her intention after all.
Elsewhere, her mum Tiffany Smith was the subject of a Netflix documentary which claimed she sent her daughter's underwear to men titled Bad Influence: The Dark Side of Kidfluencing.
The documentary was released last year, when a year before that Smith had settled a lawsuit over claims which would end up being covered by the documentary for $1.85 million.
Smith always denied the claims against her, which had been made by 11 members of a group called 'The Squad' which was made up of aspiring young YouTubers.
In the lawsuit it was alleged that Smith was a 'mean spirited control freak' that that her actions 'were not only sexually inappropriate and confrontational, but often reprehensible and even illegal', while Smith called them 'baseless accusations' and claimed the accusers had been 'stage moms pushing their kids into the spotlight'.
LADbible has reached out to Piper and Tiffany for comment.
