The relation to OnlyFans is in the private subscription model. It seemed like the easiest way to communicate the idea but open to suggestions here.

Public does let you follow people for free but that removes all incentives for any actually profitable investor. After all, why would you share alpha for free? OnlyTrades solves this by providing an incentivized platform for experienced traders to share their portfolios. You can make more money doing what you already do, with no extra effort.

On top of letting anyone share their portfolio, we have some fun established figures you can follow for free on the platform like Pelosi. We keep track of their positions in real-time. You're right though in that using Pelosi or Dorsey as mock users on the screenshots might not have been an optimal choice - I'll change those!

Really appreciate the feedback!

It’s not just the wrong choice, it’s fraud.
It might be the right choice and also fraud. Does parody law grant no leeway?
I've seen a ton of websites use highly influential figures in mockups for years now so perhaps Parody law has some leeway? Anyways I plan to change the mockups whenever I get some time just to be safe.
But can you make requests to investors?

And are they really naked ;)
