Overview
- Fishback's plan would require Florida-based OnlyFans creators to pay half of their platform income to the state as a moral deterrent as well as a revenue source.
- He says the money would fund schools, crisis centers for pregnant women, and a new male mental health czar, claiming the tax could raise hundreds of millions of dollars.
- Top creator Sophie Rain criticized the proposal and argued it would simply push earners to relocate, while tax analysts predicted an exodus that could hurt local economies.
- Miami's outsized creator footprint and high OnlyFans spending underscore the potential economic impact, with data showing the city among the world’s top markets.
- The measure remains a campaign idea that would need gubernatorial victory, legislative approval, and would likely face legal challenges, as scrutiny of past misconduct allegations against Fishback persists despite a judge denying a protective-order request and his continued denials.
