An OnlyFans model has revealed what it was like joining the adult content platform after being made redundant - something she has issued a warning over others doing.
And in spilling the tea, the 32-year-old has revealed how much she earned from the platform; which might shock you.
Ainslie Gardiner, from Australia, joined OnlyFans back in 2023 after being let go from her day job.

But she has now spoken out against her decision to sign up to OF as a content creator, explaining why it was a bad move and ultimately, not worth it for her.
Speaking to news.com.au, Ainslie revealed it was an 'impulsive' decision to make her OnlyFans account.
"I kept seeing all these girls talking online talking about how they do OnlyFans and make all this money," she explained.
But after delving in to OnlyFans - which isn't exclusively adult content - she describes it as a 'toxic' experience that left her devoid of any form of fulfilment.
Ainslie said: "Are you willing to put in the time to do this? Are you willing to be cringe?
"And also setting boundaries for yourself because it is so easy to start getting some money and go past what you’re comfortable with."
Ainslie, who no longer makes OnlyFans content, described it as a "f**king grind... if you don't have a following", with it more than a full-time job. Say goodbye to your 5pm finishes and annual leave.
The money is also not guaranteed to be as lucrative as what some of the huge success stories you might have read about.
"I did it from the end of April to early August, and I made about $10,000 Australian dollars," she said.
For roughly four months work, that came in at about £5,200.
If she had continued with the content, she would have been looking at an average salary of just under £16,000 if that was her only work, which isn't the most lucrative - especially when you consider what you're putting out there for people to see.
Ainslie said: "I wish I had thought about it harder before I did it because I regret it. I wish I didn’t do that and it was a weird part of my life."
She also issued a warning about who signs up to your content, given that anyone can pay, saying: "Don’t be surprised if people you know sign up to OnlyFans."
Ainslie now hopes her account of being an OF creator can 'potentially help other girls not slip in to the industry so easily'.
In another post she said: "Don’t always believe everything that you see online. All these people on TikTok are doing these cringey videos to go viral and you’re falling for it."
