Yes, the OF whores themselves are starting to develop parasocial "feelings" for their Johns... because being an e-thot is apparently a very lonely profession:
Imagine being this parasocial and delusional that you think your Johns are your confidants. This confirms my suspicion that only crazy people use OnlyFans, both on the buyer and the seller side of the transaction.
If you're a whore on the internet who has trouble separating fantasy from reality, why not just invent a character, so you know exactly when you're play-acting? Do like Didl does on KiwiFarms, invent a character and go nuts with the fake backstory. You're a totally a racist feminatsee mother of two from Belgium who can't even spell French words. Don't worry, your simps are too busy gooning to notice.
Even beyond adult content, creators face an intrinsic element of loneliness. Like other influencers and freelancers, OnlyFans creators often shoot, edit, and post their content alone at home. This can increase the chances of feeling burned out and lonely.
"This type of business can be isolating," St James said. "We work so much there isn't much time for anything else."
Connecting with fans can be a way to ease the feeling of loneliness. For many creators, a big chunk of the work on OnlyFans is a constant, direct interaction with fans via a chat function. While the platform is known primarily as a subscription service, "microtransactions" — like custom content, direct messages, and tips — are popular ways to earn money, too. Several creators told BI that interactions with fans in direct messages sometimes overtook subscriptions as far as revenue, and that they spent up to eight hours a day chatting.
When creators spend so much time messaging fans, the lines between being at work and messaging a friend can blur. Liensue, a creator known primarily for her cosplay content, previously told BI that she'd come to consider her relationships with some fans "a kind of friendship" built on "the mutual trust of chatting every evening."
"I often seek out my fans to give me advice," she said. "I talk about my insecurities. It just feels right."
Creator Isla Moon said she felt "abandoned" after one of her most regular chatters unsubscribed from her page unexpectedly.
"You build that relationship, and when they leave, it's like, why is it feeling like a breakup? I literally cried over a fan just leaving my page. It was so weird," she said.
And Cherie DeVille, who had been a mainstream sex worker for a decade before joining OnlyFans, said the relationships she'd built with her subscribers on the platform were unlike any others in her previous work. When she found out a loyal fan had died from cancer, she couldn't contain her tears.
"OnlyFans is really different; it's really real," she previously said, comparing it to her other adult-content work. "You get to know people."

Farvid and Marie Lippmann, an associate professor of psychology at California State University, Chico, both said there's a lack of research on the types of connections creators can build with their subscribers on OnlyFans.
"A lot of sex workers are very clear about their boundaries, and even when they're socializing or talking to clients on social media, they see this as a form of immaterial digital labor," Farvid said. "If the intimacy is happening outside of the purview of the job, that's interesting. It may have to do with the mainstreaming of OnlyFans, which attracts diverse people. OnlyFans is also more similar to social networking, which probably offers greater opportunity for intimacy building."
What's clear is that there's a commercial aspect incentivizing intimacy. Ultimately, the relationship is built on a monetary transaction. Creators told BI that they prioritized chatting with the fans who spend the most money, most regularly.
"It's complicated, it is a big thing," Liensue said. "How would I name those relationships? Are they friendships, are they not? How do you actually classify them? It gets messed up with the financial part behind it."
