Summary
Last week, the company behind OnlyFans, a platform where sex workers can generate income by providing adult content to paid subscribers, announced that it would ban sexually explicit uploads starting October 1. Less than a week later, the company reversed its decision after public backlash. On today’s episode, Rachelle and Madison talk about the rise of OnlyFans, and its importance to independent sex workers. Then they interview Slate sex columnist and OnlyFans performer Jessica Stoya about her experience on the platform over the past year, and why this sort of fight isn’t anything new for those who’ve been in the industry.
Jessica Stoya’s recent piece on OnlyFans is, “I Made Thousands on OnlyFans. I Have a Dark Suspicion About What’s Coming.” You can read more from her by checking out Slate’s How To Do It sex advice column which she writes every week with Rich Juzwiak.
Podcast production by Daniel Schroeder and Derek John.

| 0:00.0 | I had my own, like, weird little pandemic art camp with my roommate, but like with boobs, |
| 0:09.2 | and so it's all on only fans. |
| 0:12.9 | Hi, I'm Rachel Hampton. |
| 0:14.6 | And I'm Madison Malone Kircher. |
| 0:16.3 | You're listening to I see YMIMI. |
| 0:18.2 | In case you missed it. |
| 0:19.5 | Slate's podcast about internet culture. Do you have worms, Rachel? |
| 0:23.5 | Uh, like in my home? Like, in my body? In your person. I mean, doesn't everyone? |
| 0:31.9 | Only in my brain. I ask. I ask only because of the, the news we're seeing surrounding a dewormer for animals for livestock called Ibermectin, which is now flying off the shelves at about the same rate that medical professionals are screaming. |
| 0:51.3 | Do not take this as a treatment for COVID-19. Please, it could |
| 0:55.7 | kill you. Oh my God. I mean, I feel like this, the ivermectin craze is just fully convincing me |
| 1:06.7 | that there would have been people who would have injected bleach if it was an option given to them. |
| 1:12.8 | And that's very concerning to me. |
| 1:14.8 | The thing that has me thinking about our show, though, in relation to dewormers, is that it's, like, |
| 1:19.3 | very unsurprising to me that the latest in pseudoscientific COVID cures is a dewormer. |
| 1:25.6 | I don't know if you had been getting served these on your for you page. |
| 1:28.9 | But for a while, there was this trend of people taking deworming medication convinced, |
| 1:35.7 | despite no medical indication to the contrary, that they had worms in their bodies that |
| 1:40.2 | needed to be cleansed, you know, sort of like a bullshit charcoal activated. |
| 1:45.9 | Oh, my God. Blah, blah, jade egg energy. |
| 1:50.6 | So I don't get this whole deworming thing that's going on on TikTok. Like, do we all have |
