Cost of living: The people using OnlyFans as a second job to help with bills
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/newsbeat-62377737
OnlyFans makes its money by taking 20% of all payments made to people like Alexia.
The content subscription service told Newsbeat it's paid out $8bn (£6.5bn) to more than two million creators since 2016.
But Laura says becoming a "top earner" takes a lot of work.
She also says people are being pushed toward making content which shows their face, voice or an identifying feature - something which makes them "more vulnerable to stalking, abuse and threats".
"We've had calls from women who are in this situation and are under threat of being outed, some women have even been tracked down and face violence as a result," she says.
"It's directly linked to women's need for money because the more desperate you are, the more ready you are going to be to take these risks."
OnlyFans told Newsbeat "creator and fan safety are a top priority" and that it had been "repeatedly praised by creators for creating a safe space for them to share digital content with their fans".
