Well, I recall that Onlyfans originally launched as a streaming site targeted towards gamers/cosplayers/etc
And then got kinda taken over by the porno brigade during lockdown. I assume that due to the original intended use of the platform that regulation of moderation/remuneration was pretty lax and remained that way once the client base changed. That, and apparently the founder has a history of dodgy ventures in a similar area to Onlyfans' final form.
It wouldn't surprise me at all if the site pays out in BTC (which is near impossible to moderate) and PayPal, which I remember used to be fairly poor at policing their own age restrictions.
Of course, basic age verification isn't a difficult thing to implement. Just make the person sign up with a valid credit card. But then you have the obvious issue of that limiting your customer base and also (if you're a massive cynic like me) limiting the range/variety of 'content creators'.
