Fansly and MYM, the published creator share and the rule on automated replies
Both platforms publish their split; one restricts AI in conversations, the other allows AI to answer messages, in writing.

-
The OnlyFans 80/20, what $1,000 of fan payments becomes

What a chatter costs and what an AI agent costs, in public figures only
A chatter seat is priced by the hour and the shift; the software is priced by the creator and by a share of what it sells, and the two numbers are not the same kind.

How to read our figures
This is a newspaper about a trade that publishes very little. The rules below are how the desk keeps it honest.
- Every figure carries a link and a date. The page it came from and the day the desk read it. If a number has no public source, it is not printed and the gap is named instead.
- A company’s number about its own product is a declaration. It is labelled as such, never as a measurement.
- Where two published sources disagree, both numbers are printed. The desk does not pick one.
- A desk calculation is marked as a desk calculation. The two published inputs are shown next to it.
- No reviews, no ratings, no testimonials, no invented people. Platform rules are quoted, not summarised.
- Nothing here is legal, tax or financial advice. Official pages are linked so you can read the source yourself.
