With concert ticket prices at an all-time high and attendance skyrocketing, indie artists are seeking alternative revenue streams to sustain their livelihoods. In this inaugural episode of the series 'Money Troubles', NPR's Brittany interviews culture reporter Isabella Gomez Sarmiento about this trend of musicians utilizing OnlyFans, a platform traditionally associated with adult content, to make ends meet. This move reflects significant changes in the music industry's economic landscape and a deteriorating middle class among artists, raising questions about cultural perceptions of labor and creativity in today's society.
As concert ticket prices soar and live performances yield less revenue, indie musicians are increasingly turning to OnlyFans for financial stability and creative freedom.
The shift towards platforms like OnlyFans highlights not just a change in income sources for artists but also the broader cultural conversation about labor and financial survival.
