We understand that our Promotional Content rules may be difficult for some content creators to understand, so we’ve created this FAQ to help you better understand how you can avoid violating them. Please check the Community Conduct Rules for the full language of our rules around Promotional Content.
What is Promotional Content?
We define Promotional Content as the use of our platform to promote any content, product or service in exchange for tangible benefits, such as money or gifts.
This includes but is not limited to the promotion of:
Paid subscription platforms (e.g. OnlyFans, Patreon, Justforfans, Sizable etc.);
Paid content platforms (e.g. Clips4Sale, BigCuties, etc.)
Individual content available for purchase (e.g. videos, photos, art, etc.);
Legally permissible services (e.g. cam shows, custom content, online feedings, legally permissible in-person kink sessions, etc.);
Products (e.g. gear, clothing, crafts, etc.);
And any other commercial opportunities that provide benefits to the promoter.
Importantly, our Promotional Content rules are considered different from our Donation Request rules. If a member attempts to solicit donations of any kind (such as money, tangible or intangible gifts, food, wishlists, etc.) without explicitly offering content, a product or a service, that is considered to be a Donation Request.
For example, a post saying “Send me money and I’ll send you exclusive photos” would fall under our Promotional Content rules, while a post saying “Send me money and I’ll show you my gratitude” would fall under our Donation Request rules. For the specific limitations of our Donation Request rules, please see our Donation Request Guide.
Who is Allowed to Post Promotional Content on Feabie?
On Feabie, Promotional Content is only allowed to be posted by members whose profiles are older than 90 days and who have gone through our process of vetting to become a Verified Creators. Visit our Content Creator Verification Guide for more information on how to get verified.
Verified Creators are not allowed to post unlimited Promotional Content and must stay within certain limits outlined in our Community Conduct Rules.
Once you’ve been confirmed by our team as a Verified Creator, be sure to review these conditions BEFORE attempting to post Promotional Content:
Condition 1: No more than 1 promotional posting per 24 hour period. A promotional posting can be a newsfeed post, a photo or a photo caption. All such postings are treated the same (e.g. posting a promotional photo and a promotional status on the same day is a violation of this rule).
Condition 2: No more than 25% of your postings can be promotional. That means for every promotional posting, you must also make three non-promotional postings (pose a question, say what you ate for lunch… anything non-promotional).
Condition 3: No more than 1 of the same promotional posting (the content or presentation needs to change each time). Deleting and re-posting the same update or photo will be considered a violation of these conditions.
How Can I Avoid Violating the Promotion Content Rules?
The answers below will give you some guidance, but as a general rule of thumb, the best way to avoid violating our promotional content rules is to not use Feabie solely as a means to promote content. The posting limits are designed to encourage community engagement (for example, for every 1 Promotional Content post, there must be at least 3 posts that are not promotional).
If you are attempting to circumvent our rules in order to promote paid content, products or services beyond what our rules allow, you will likely break these rules. As you will see below, no amount of subtlety, hinting, obfuscation or creative phrasing will allow you to steer clear of our Promotional Content rules if your underlying motive is to promote paid content, products or services without becoming a Verified Creator or, if you are verified, in excess of the outlined limits.
Please do keep reading for more specifics on how to avoid violating our Promotional Content rules.
The examples that follow are not exhaustive, but should give a general understanding of the type of scenarios that violate this policy. As stated before, attempting to circumvent our rules for Promotional Content will likely be itself a violation of this policy.
Where Does the Promotional Content Policy Apply?
Our Promotional Content policy covers all newsfeeds and photofeeds, which means any attempt to promote paid content, products or services through publicly uploaded images or text posts on Feabie is covered by this policy.
The Promotional Content policy also covers private conversations. Promoting paid content via private messages–even if you are a Verified Creator–is not allowed unless promotions are introduced organically within the discussion. That means sending unsolicited promotional messages is not allowed and neither is surreptitiously promoting paid content within the first few messages to a new contact.
Here are some examples of conversations where Promotional Content is NOT introduced organically:
Example 1:
A: Hi
B: Hey, check out my Onlyfans.
Example 2:
A: Hiya
B: Great profile!
A: Thanks so much, I’d love to ask you on a date.
B: Why don’t you start by buying one of my cam shows?
Example 3:
A: Hello!
B: Hi, how are you doing?
A: Good, just finishing up some work, you?
B: I’m doing well, thanks. I like your profile.
A: Thanks, I like yours. What are you looking for on here?
B: Customers. You can see my videos on my website here: [link]
Example 4:
A: You have such a cute belly! I’d love to squish it.
B: Awe thank you.
A: How many calories do you eat in a day?
B: Sorry, I only chat with feeders who support me on OnlyFans. The link is in my bio.
In each of these example conversations, the introduction of Promotional Content did not arise organically from the conversation preceding it and thus would not be allowed on Feabie.
What about Promotional Content Posts that Aren’t Explicit?
There is no way to circumvent our Promotional Content policy through the use of subtlety, suggestive phrasing, hypotheticals, jokes or any hints where the intention is clear. The only way to not run afoul of our Promotional Content policy is not to have any intention whatsoever to promote paid content, products or services on Feabie without becoming a Verified Creator or, if you are verified, in excess of the outlined limits.
Here are a few of the common scenarios that members run into when trying to circumvent our Promotional Content policy. These are all considered Promotional Content and would be a violation if posted by a non-Verified Creator or if posted by a Verified Creator in excess of the limits and conditions:
Mentioning any paid content/payment platforms that they use, such as:
“My Patreon is feeling kinda lonely”
“Spending too much time updating my BigCuties”
“Why is the OnlyFans creator interface so terrible?”
“Who else is creating content on Sizable?”
Sharing information around activities directly related to creating/sharing paid content, products or services, such as:
“Just finished filming the most incredible video. Maybe my hottest one yet.”
“Is anyone else’s internet spotty? I’m supposed to go on cam in a few minutes and it’s in and out…”
“Looking to switch to a subscription platform that doesn’t take 20%, any suggestions?”
“Waiting for the pizza to arrive so I can make this video and go to bed!”
If you produce paid content, vaguely mentioning any upcoming or recent content, such as:
“Releasing a new video tonight!”
“Just posted a new vid, might be my best one yet”
“Can’t wait to release these pics from my latest photo shoot.”
“You guys are gonna love this collab when I post it.”
Offering giveaways, free or discounted subscriptions, or other kinds of promotions for paid content, products or services, such as:
“Giving away a free T-shirt from my store today to one of my followers. Follow me now to be considered.”
“10% off my vids this week only!”
“Feeling generous… who wants a free month subscription to my OF?”
“For Black Friday, all my commissions are half off.”
Using subtle phrasing or hints, such as:
“Hope you like my new pic. There’s more of them for my supporters.”
“Just posted a video on that other site 😉”
“If you like my photos, send me a message to find out what else I have.”
“I can’t mention it here, but DM me if you’re interested in some special videos.”
Phrasing the promotional content as a joke, such as:
“The latest post on my OnlyFans is SO, so dumb. lol”
“I’m so hungry, I’d send all my videos to someone if they’d buy me a pizza.”
“I know work from home is the latest thing, but as a cam model, I’ve been doing it since long before it was cool 🤣”
“I wish it was called BigHotties, because dammit I’m not cute, I’m hot!”
Mentioning past commercial activity, such as:
“Thank you so much to User123 for buying my latest video!”
“Just thinking of the sweet guy who told me I’m ‘perfect’ on my Sizable.”
“I’m excited that someone on here posted a photo in the shirt I sold them.”
“I think that cam show last night was my best yet.”
Using codes for paid content/payment platforms, such as:
“Thinking of taking some photos for my spicy site. 😉”
“OF course I have new pics up on that site”
“I got pics if you got 💸App”
“I’m feeling like a real big cutie in my latest photos”
What About Photos?
When it comes to Promotional Content, photos uploaded publicly are treated exactly the same as text posts made in the newsfeed. That means any photo, or text within the photo or caption, that states or implies that the poster is seeking to promote paid content, products or services is considered a Promotional Content post. Such a photo cannot be posted on Feabie without becoming a Verified Creator or, if you are verified, in excess of the outlined limits.
Some examples of photos that would be considered as Promotional Content include any photo uploaded with:
A watermark that is someone’s paid content/payment platform name (OnlyFans, Patreon, BigCuties, Sizable, Clips4Sale, CashApp, etc.), if different from their Feabie name
A watermark that directs members to any paid content/payment platform
A screenshot in which the interface of any paid content/payment platform is easily identifiable
A screenshot showing a username from any paid content/payment platform
A QR code or similar code that links to paid content/payment platform
Any text on the image outright requesting or hinting that the poster has paid content available
Screenshots from videos that are only available in exchange for payment or subscription, when the quality of the screenshot is not high-enough to be considered a legitimate piece of content on its own
Any caption outright requesting or hinting that the poster is promoting paid content, products or services
If My Profile/Bio Includes Promotional Content, Can I Reference It in a Post?
All members are allowed to include Promotional Content information in their profile description/bio, regardless of whether they are Verified Creators or not. Where such information is present, however, any newsfeed or photofeed post that directs others to their profile/bio would then be considered Promotional Content, even if the post itself doesn’t include any obvious promotional elements.
For example, if a member’s profile/bio text included their OnlyFans, Patreon, BigCuties, Sizable, or Clips4Sale information; a link to content for sale; an offer to create custom content or provide a service; links or information about products for sale; or any other kind of promotion; the following newsfeed posts would be considered Promotional Content:
“Check out my profile to help me out.”
“Just posted some new videos, link in bio.”
“If you like my pics, read my bio.”
“Check out my profile text 😉”
“Stop messaging me to ask if I have more pics, everything you need is in my bio.”
In all of the above examples, for a member who is not a Verified Creator making that post would violate our rules and for a member who is a Verified Creator, making that post would count toward their posting limits.
Importantly, if the member’s profile/bio does not include any such Promotional Content, that member would be allowed to make posts referring to their profile/bio without violating this policy.
What About Hyperlinking to Free Content that Happens to Include Paid Content as Well?
Any direct links to a photo, gif or image that includes an “ad” or promotional information is considered Promotional Content, the same as if it were uploaded directly to our network.
Any direct links to videos that are primarily focused on promoting paid content is also considered an “ad” or Promotional Content.
Here are a few examples of things that would be considered “ads”:
Linking to a photo that includes paid content/payment platform information (e.g. OnlyFans, Patreon, BigCuties, Clips4Sale, etc.)
Linking to a photo with sales language or calls to action (e.g. “50% off new videos”, “Buy this vid now”, “New customers welcome,” etc.)
Excessively linking to photos that are screenshots from videos that are only available in exchange for payment or subscription
Linking to a video that is itself NOT a complete piece of freely consumable content
Linking to a video that begins with an ad for additional paid content
Linking to a video that is primarily focused on promoting paid content
Linking to a website, blog or article that is primarily focused on promoting paid content
As any of the above cited examples of “ads” constitute Promotional Content, they could not be posted on Feabie without becoming a Verified Creator or, if you are verified, in excess of the outlined limits; nor could any member–verified or not–send them inorganically via private message.
What about Hyperlinking to Link Hubs, Websites, Social Media or Blogs?
Linking to third-party sites and resources, such as link hubs, websites, social media accounts or blogs can be considered Promotional Content, depending on the nature of the sites/resources themselves.
Link Hubs
If ANY of the hyperlinks on a link hub page (such as Linktree, etc.) leads to paid content/payment platforms, linking to that hub is considered Promotional Content.
Non-Paid Websites, Social Media Accounts or Blogs
If a non-paid website, social media account or blog (such as Tumblr, Twitter, Instagram, Wordpress, etc.) is predominantly used to promote the sale of content, products or services, linking to that website, social media account or blog is considered Promotional Content.
As any of the above cited examples constitute Promotional Content, they could not be posted on Feabie without becoming a Verified Creator or, if you are verified, in excess of the outlined limits; nor could any member–verified or not–send them inorganically via private message.
Can I Ask for Advice about My Paid Content?
If a member is currently offering paid content, products or services, any reference to them in the newsfeed or photofeed would be considered Promotional Content, even if phrased as a question.
Some examples of posts from a member who is presently offering any paid content, products, or services that would be considered Promotional Content include:
“What do you want to see me post on my OnlyFans?”
“Anyone have any advice on an accountant? I need someone who understands my work as a cam model.”
“I was filming some content with [Username] and he’s just the GOAT. Please go check out his profile here!”
“Thinking of becoming a BigCutie… Would you support me if I did?”
“Can someone help me with my Clips4Sale? I’m having issues uploading a video on there right now.”
“Anyone else having issues receiving payments on Venmo right now?”
As any of the above cited examples constitute Promotional Content, they could not be posted on Feabie without becoming a Verified Creator or, if you are verified, in excess of the outlined limits; nor could any member–verified or not–send them inorganically via private message.
What About Promoting a Not-Yet Monetized Subscription or Paid Content Account?
Some paid content and subscription platforms also offer the ability to post free content. Whether or not promoting free content on such platforms constitutes Promotional Content is dependent on the nature of the platform itself.
We draw a distinction between two kinds of platforms that allow for the sale of content/subscriptions: Platforms that are predominantly focused on such paid content, and platforms that are not.
Platforms Predominantly Focused on Paid Content
Platforms that are predominantly focused on paid content (such as OnlyFans, JustForFans, Patreon, BigCuties, Sizable, etc.) are considered Promotional Content, regardless of whether an account posts free content. Even in cases where someone posts entirely free content on such a platform, we still consider promoting their work Promotional Content, because posting such free content allows them to accrue a large and valuable number of followers, which they could leverage whenever they choose to monetize the account. There are also ample alternatives available for safely posting free content that are not predominantly focused on paid content.
Platforms Not Predominantly Focused on Paid Content
Platforms that offer paid content options but are not predominantly focused on them (such as Pornhub, etc.) are considered Promotional Content IF any of the content posted is paid. That means an account consisting of entirely free content on such a platform would NOT be considered Promotional Content, but an account with one paid piece of content would be.
Can I Announce the Launch of My Paid Content or Platform?
Announcing the launch of paid content or a paid platform is considered Promotional Content.
We do allow a small amount of leeway for a member who does not yet produce or sell content, products or services to discuss their interest and ask questions in the newsfeed, typically limited to a single post. However, once a member has decided to produce content or launch a platform, any attempt to announce or build anticipation for the content release or paid platform launch would be considered Promotional Content.
Some examples of posts that would be considered Promotional Content include:
“Finally taking the dive, stay tuned for my OF debut!”
“Mark your calendars. My first video collab is coming Feb 1st.”
“Decided to start making videos. Get ready Feabie.”
“Can’t believe you guys talked me into starting a Patreon…”
“Big news coming incoming. Yours truly is about to become a BigCutie!”
“Just picked up my new Cannon camera… These vids are gonna be professional af”
As any of the above cited examples constitute Promotional Content, they could not be posted on Feabie without becoming a Verified Creator or, if you are verified, in excess of the outlined limits; nor could any member–verified or not–send them inorganically via private message.
Can I Monetize My Private Album or Inbox?
It is forbidden to state on our platform that providing money or gifts or purchasing content is a means to gain access to your private album, DMs or communications in general, regardless of whether you are a Verified Creator or not. This includes in the newsfeed/photofeed, within profile text and/or in conversations with other members.
Such attempts are considered as Donation Requests and are covered under that policy. Please see the Donation Request Guide for more information.
Can I Ask Others to Promote My Content, Products or Services for Me?
No. Members are not allowed to ask, encourage, incentivize or provide compensation to others to promote their paid content, products or services, regardless of whether they are Verified Creators or not.
