A new TikTok-style adult content creator platform, billed as an “anti-OnlyFans” and helmed by a former OnlyFans porn creator, recently launched and is expanding this month (December 2025).

The platform is named [NSFW link] Hidden. It operates in a web browser but is styled similarly to TikTok, allowing you to ‘swipe up’ to browse video content and creator profiles. It was launched in April by porn creator Stella Barey (pictured below), who made a killing on OnlyFans before launching Hidden.

Hidden has been described as the first adult platform owned and operated by sex workers, and this month porn actor Lana Rhoades was announced as its new co-owner and chief creative operator. The announcement came at a time when OnlyFans is coming under scrutiny for making creator registration more complicated, most recently by introducing compulsory criminal record checks for all new US-based creators.

The new platform currently reportedly has 115,000 users and over 2,200 creators, so it’s still early days for Hidden. It is, however, endearing itself to creators by taking an 18 percent cut of creator earnings compared to OnlyFans’ 20 percent cut.

You can earn money on Hidden in similar ways to OnlyFans, for example by charging a subscription fee to access your video or photo content, and for personal messages. Barey told Wired that 80 percent of a creator’s income on Hidden is “made in the messages, selling long-form videos or special bundles”.

Barey said that Hidden is set to roll out new features, such as a leaderboard for top-earning creators and cash prizes for both the highest creator sales and biggest-spending users.

AI features related to customer interactions are also set to be rolled out for creators, and will reportedly be free to use.

Many countries are toughening laws related to age verification for online porn, and recently OnlyFans was named on a list of sites in Italy that must adhere to stricter age verification rules for users in the country.

Barey told Wired: “With all of these changes and the rise of conservatism, it’s been really nice knowing that I’ve already built this platform that we’re not all going to just get kicked off of tomorrow.”
