The AVN Stars platform which is a lot like their own branded version of OnlyFans, announced today it will cease allowing content creators to monetize their content, effective January 1, 2022.

“We’re in awe of the amazing community of creators that have made AVN and GayVN Stars such vibrant platforms since we launched over three years ago — and it has been our pleasure to provide an adult friendly space where creators can monetize their content,” said AVN Media Network CEO Tony Rios.

“Unfortunately, AVN and GayVN Stars has not been immune to the banking discrimination that so many of our industry friends have also encountered recently. We have had numerous corporate accounts shuttered in the past year alone.

“This change will allow us to devote more of our resources to the core offerings that we do best such as the annual Adult Entertainment Expo, Adult Novelty Expo and the GayVN and AVN Awards Shows.”

The AVN Stars platform and its sister site GayVN stars was a popular alternative to platforms like OnlyFans and I’m sure many content creators will be sad to hear the news that the platform won’t work for them.
