# Dependence on Advertising and Subscription Fees

In the digital content industry, a significant challenge faced by creators and platforms alike is the heavy reliance on advertising revenue and subscription fees as the primary sources of income. This dependence creates a vulnerability that can limit the sustainability and creative freedom of content creators.

Existing platforms, such as Twitch, OnlyFans, and YouTube, rely heavily on advertising revenue to fund their operations and compensate creators. However, this model often prioritizes advertisers' interests over the needs and preferences of the creators and their audiences. Additionally, subscription fees can create barriers for users seeking access to quality content, leading to a potential loss of audience engagement.

This issue is particularly prevalent in the adult industry, where limited advertising options and stigma further restrict revenue streams. Content creators within this genre often struggle to monetize their work and reach their full potential due to the limitations imposed by existing platforms.
