Woman Quits 9 To 5 Job For OnlyFans, Says She's "Working Harder Than Ever"
Speaking on her career shift in an interview with news.com.au, Lynx revealed her corporate job left her feeling uninspired and confined. "The worst part is having to be at the exact same place at the same exact time every single day," she said. "It was like Groundhog Day."
Even roles she enjoyed-like a stint in social media-turned frustrating when her ideas were constantly overruled by supervisors. "I hate being told what to do by someone who doesn't know as much as I do," she said, adding that the rigid structure eventually made her realize she needed to become her own boss.
Now an established content creator with over 2 million Instagram followers, Lynx runs her own subscription-based platform, creating adult content on OnlyFans. But while she enjoys the freedom and creativity, she insists the workload has increased significantly.
"It's so much harder," Lynx said, noting that she's constantly multitasking-from brainstorming content ideas to coordinating with collaborators, managing branding and design, and staying on top of her social media schedule.
"I'm wearing so many hats- content creator, marketer, manager, designer, brand strategist," she said. "From the moment I wake up to the moment I go to sleep, I'm on. There are no fixed hours anymore."
Despite the long hours-often more than 40 hours a week-Lynx says her motivation comes from knowing her success depends entirely on her. "This is my business, my career. No one's coming to save me. If I don't work hard, I fail."
She admits to optimising every aspect of her day to maximise productivity ordering the same meals to avoid spending time on decisions. While she now ensures she takes one full day to unplug and recharge each week, she finds it difficult to switch off. "If I'm not doing something productive, I feel like I'm wasting time."
For Lynx, the move away from a corporate desk job has brought a renewed sense of purpose. "My life has meaning now," she said. "I'm in charge of my own creativity, my own success-and that's what keeps me going."

Meta jumps on big revenue forecast beat, small capex raise
Meta Platforms forecast third-quarter revenue well ahead of Wall Street expectations on Wednesday and raised the lower end of its capital expenses forecast for the year, sending its shares up 10% in extended trading. For the third quarter, Meta said it expected total revenue of $47.5 billion to $50.5 billion, compared with analysts' average estimate of $46.17 billion, according to data compiled by LSEG. The company said in a statement that its third-quarter guidance assumed a 1% benefit from a weak dollar. Meta expects both total expenses and capital expenditures to increase significantly in 2026, driven primarily by higher infrastructure costs and continued investment to support AI initiatives. "AI-driven investments into Meta's advertising business continue to pay off, bolstering its revenue as the company pours billions of dollars into AI ambitions like superintelligence," said eMarketer senior analyst Minda Smiley. "But Meta's exorbitant spending on its AI visions will continue to draw questions and scrutiny from investors who are eager to see returns." Smiley added that Meta's strong results signalled that the broader digital advertising market was not yet feeling the pain from tariffs. U.S. antitrust regulators have sued Meta to force it to restructure or sell Instagram and WhatsApp, claiming the company sought to monopolise the market for social media platforms used to share updates with friends and family. With court papers due in September, the judge overseeing the case is unlikely to rule until later this year at the earliest. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg testified in April that the company was initially slow to recognise the competitive threat of TikTok, and that Meta has over the years tried to build many apps that never gained traction. Meta said on Wednesday that while it was not providing an outlook for fourth-quarter revenue, the company expected the year-over-year growth rate in the period to be slower than in the third quarter. The social media giant raised the lower end of its annual capital expenditures forecast by $2 billion, driven by its high-stakes push for "superintelligence" in the heated AI race. The Facebook and Instagram parent now expects capital expenditures to be between $66 billion and $72 billion. Training and deploying advanced AI systems remain a capital-intensive endeavor, requiring costly hardware, massive computing resources and top-tier engineering talent. After a lackluster reception for its Llama 4 model that led to staff departures, Meta has tried to revitalise its AI push by sparking a high-stakes talent war that has seen it dole out more than $100 million pay packages to researchers from rival firms. Zuckerberg has pledged to spend hundreds of billions of dollars to build massive AI data centres, having shelled out $14.3 billion for a stake in startup Scale AI and poached its 28-year-old billionaire CEO Alexandr Wang. To fund the push, the billionaire founder is leaning on Meta's massive user base as well as AI-powered improvements in content engagement that make it a stable bet for advertisers even in times of economic uncertainty. The tech giant recently introduced an AI-driven image-to-video ad creation tool under its Advantage+ suite, allowing marketers to generate video ads from static images. Instagram, whose Reels product competes with ByteDance's TikTok and YouTube Shorts for ad dollars in the popular short video format, is set to account for more than half of Meta's ad revenue in the U.S. this year, according to research firm eMarketer. Meta has also accelerated efforts to monetise its social media platforms WhatsApp and Threads by integrating ads. The company last month named insider Connor Hayes as head of Threads, a sign it was moving the platform away from Instagram's shadow after leaning on the photo-sharing app for growth.
