Summary
Sam Levinson, creator of HBO's Euphoria, defends the show's critical portrayal of OnlyFans culture following backlash from its final season. In an interview on Real Time with Bill Maher, Levinson explained he intentionally took a "fairly critical look" at the platform rather than affirming it as empowering. He noted that OnlyFans generates revenue comparable to Hollywood, making it an attractive option for young people avoiding traditional 9-to-5 jobs, but argued the platform "hollows out the individual."
