That seems awfully low tbh...?
Yeah, a 1.25 year ROI is insane. There has to be something going on behind the scenes. The potential anti-porn legislation would be a significant risk, I guess?
Normally "revenue vs profit" would be the missing link here. You make 6 billion, but pay out 5 billion. Total net is 1 billion. Getting 8x your yearly profit for your business is a reasonable price.
With onlyfans, they take a 20% cut, so the numbers above basically line up. They got paid 1.2 billion, and probably spent 200 million on operations as a giant video/media host.
I know that but somehow always read it wrong. Thanks for the correction.
They had $6.6 billion in 2023 revenue, not profit.

Yep. I knew that and messed it up anyway. I wish they would just say profit. Who gives a fuck about raw revenue when talking about the value of a company. Unless you're talking about reducing costs to increase profits, revenue doesn't fucking matters.
While profitability is key, revenue are actually extremely important. Case in point; many of the American tech companies that initially focus on scale/market share to the detriment of all other indicators.
