He continued his rant stating:
"It is one of the most deliberate, life-backpedaling, progress-hindering, brain-rotting activities that anybody ever has come up with. And some of that, they f**king pay for it."
Felix's disapproval of OnlyFans subscribers quickly went viral on the popular live-streaming subreddit r/LivestreamFail, having garnered over 180 comments at the time of writing. Many were critical of Felix's stance and trolled him, pointing out the hypocrisy in criticizing OnlyFans when he was also profiting from subscriptions and donations on Twitch:
Fans also called him out for being "puritanical" and suggested that his opinions were outdated. Some sarcastically brought up his spending habits on gaming skins while discussing the topic.
Some argued that people should be free to use OnlyFans for personal reasons as long as they are not harming anyone or getting addicted.
It is unclear why xQc feels so strongly against OnlyFans. However, it is noteworthy that his friend and fellow streamer Amouranth has a close association with the platform.
