Not all agencies are run by shitbags, but most are. If you're ever thinking of signing with an agency, here are some things to keep in mind.

• If you are getting cold emails, messages in your OF/LF/Fansly/StripChat etc inbox, DMs on X or IG, they're not going to be from good companies. These are being mass sent to everyone they can in order to get someone to bite.
• ALWAYS read the contract COMPLETELY. If it's not in your language (like what happened in this article) DO NOT SIGN IT.
• If you don't trust yourself to understand what the contract says, go to https://www.contractscounsel.com/ and hire someone to help you understand it. (I have done this twice and now have an ongoing business relationship with one of the lawyers that helped me and he's amazing.)
• If you need help with running your page and aren't sure if you want to go into the drama of finding a not shitbag agency, try hiring an assistant. This can be one of your friends (have done this, it worked out well for me and now I have a small team that helps me).
• There are MULTIPLE agencies in lawsuits right now with their models for various reasons. Always google the agency in question. There is a great subreddit for hiring chatters ( https://www.reddit.com/r/OnlyFansChatter/ ) and you can scroll through it and see which agencies aren't paying their chatters, which are burning through their chatters, and which are just total assholes all around. You don't want to work with someone who isn't paying their chatters, who is constantly having to hire new chatters to replace the ones they aren't paying, etc. (Personally, I'd never go with a company that uses overseas chatters--these companies are paying these people dirt so they can pocket your money for themselves. There's no need to charge 40-60% of a page's earnings when your overhead is nothing. These companies are predators.)
