How much can you really learn from OnlyFans statistics?

I've been looking into the growth of subscription-based content platforms, and OnlyFans is an interesting example of how the creator economy has evolved.
One thing I'm curious about is how earnings are distributed among creators. We often hear about the highest earners, but that probably doesn't represent what most people actually make.
Does anyone know which statistics are most useful for understanding the platform's growth and creator income? I'm particularly interested in average earnings, subscriber trends, and how OnlyFans compares with other subscription platforms.
Would be interesting to hear different perspectives, especially from people who follow digital marketing and creator economy trends.

Top earners really skew the picture, so I look at median income and subscriber trends instead. I use the data at OnlyFans to track income distribution across niches and model realistic earnings from paid subs alone, which is way more useful than the viral millionaire headlines for understanding actual creator growth.
