The unprecedented rise in OnlyFans has seen spicy content creators able to rake in millions in exchange for explicit photos and videos - however, the career is not without is drawbacks.
A common concern shared amongst creators is how close friends and family would react to their profession - with several models revealing they've been disowned for their content, while others never thought they'd be 'voting for them to do best blow***'.
However for Australian OnlyFans creator Ruby Drew, 20, this was something she was able to take in her stride.

Speaking to Yahoo Lifestyle about her decision to make content for the adults-only platform, Ruby revealed that she'd taken the plunge during lockdown after experiencing a bad break-up.
Initially joining the site with the idea of the goal of making some extra dollars, Ruby soon realised that making follower-specific custom content could be very lucrative.
However the moneymaking hasn't come without consequence, as the model has received requests from people she knows in real life.
"The people I know in real life are the ones to request custom content the most, actually. A lot of videos are requested of me moaning their names," she explained.
Her account even reached a former high school boyfriend, who found himself experiencing unresolved feelings after seeing Ruby's content.
"I was with this boy in high school who I was head over heels in love with, but as most high school relationships go, we drifted apart when he moved away," Ruby said, adding that he reconnected with her via OnlyFans.
"At first, I thought it was a joke, but then he started asking for custom content made just for him."
However Ruby went on to reveal that she wasn't fazed to see her ex asking for content, adding that he was spending around $1500 AUD (£782) a week on her content.
"Honestly, I was flattered he was still thinking of me and still wanted me. I loved it! He wanted all sorts of videos of me doing explicit things and moaning his name while I did it," she said.
Her willingness to indulge followers' desires has paid off massively for Ruby, with the account seeing her earn a whopping $1 million AUD (£524,000) in just one year on the platform.
"I had one guy who supported me all through COVID that just wanted videos of me dancing in my backyard with socks on and then slowly peeling off the wet dirty socks," she recalled.
However Ruby was quick to urge that it could sometimes be 'uncomfortable' to make the custom content, especially if followers were paying her to be rude to them.
"But if people are paying good money for me to speak to them badly, who am I to refuse," she added.
