Yeah, probably footballers, boxers,
I get a lot of rappers in my DMs.
I do want a DM from Jack Harlow, but I haven't had that yet.
So...
Yeah, Jack, if you're watching this, I will s**g you.
I'm just saying.
[DANNY] Did you always want to be a YouTuber?
No, that came to me later.
I wanted to be a surgeon.
So, I was studying medical science,
like, forensic science, and that sort of thing.
And then I dropped out of that.
[DANNY] So when did you start the YouTube channel?
I started YouTube when I was 17.
So, I was in college and one of my friends at the time
had a lot of experience with, like, Instagram back then,
and he's actually my manager now.
And everyone knows him as my manager.
He's called manager Jay.
But he was the one who said to me, like,
"If you do wanna make something of this,
I will help you along the way,"
and he knew the right paths to do,
he knew the right strategies with YouTube,
that kind of thing.
Even back then.
And yeah, he helped me the whole time.
So I had good people around me helping me out.
My mum was supportive when I turned 18.
But yeah, even my brother and sister
were like, "Yeah, that's weird.
Why are you doing that?"
[DANNY] And what kind of content were you making at the start?
It was, like, the more basic videos.
So, I would have videos, like, erm...
50 things about me, and like, stuff like that.
It was the really, like, YouTube video ideas thing
you'd find on Google and you'd be like,
"What video should I post on YouTube?"
So, I started doing that.
Anyway, guys, onto the questions on Instagram,
because that's what we're here for.
Would I rather fight one horse-sized duck
or 100 duck-sized horses?
The duck-sized horses would be well cute,
but ducks can actually be quite big,
so probably like the giant duck.
And then I started doing,
I did a few reaction videos, but more,
not just sitting there and watching something,
it'd be, like, really breaking it down and kind of,
it would just be giving my opinion
on like, YouTube drama, that kind of thing.
I started doing more challenge videos.
I did some like, prank videos, that sort of thing.
And then, I got some companies send me like, clothes
for try-on hauls and stuff.
So I started doing try-on hauls,
and then yeah, now we have my channel now as it is.
If on a YouTube video, I ask like...
I ask people on Instagram,
like, "Oh, send me some questions
or send me some challenges to do."
The things people send me
are very, very, very, very, very sexual.
And they send me stuff that I should be doing on Pornhub.
So, obviously that stuff I'm not gonna do on YouTube.
Like, that's just a no go.
[DANNY] What's the most common question that people ask you?
My body count.
Everyone's just like, "What's your body count?"
Or, like, "Have you slept with any other YouTubers?"
And I'm like, "No."
But a lot of the time, people are also asking for advice.
So people will be like, "Oh, I really like this one person.
I don't think she's into me.
How do I make a girl like me?"
That sort of thing. I get that a lot.
Every single video that I do,
I talk to them about consent,
I talk about not letting people pressure you
into doing things, that sort of thing.
For example, I'll talk about a certain sex position
and I'll say, "Guys, like, by all means,
do any sex position that you want,
but make sure no one's forcing you
into doing things you don't wanna do,"
that sort of thing.
And I do actually get DMs a lot that people are like,
"I didn't realise that this was happening to me
until I heard you speak about it."
So then I made a Patreon, which is,
I'm sure you guys have heard of it,
it's, like, a subscription site.
They don't allow explicit content,
such as what OnlyFans does.
But I started the Patreon.
I just did a few like, HD shoots every month.
And I think it was $25 and people could,
it was just like fully-clothed stuff,
it'd just be me in some denim shorts
and a nice top, that sort of thing.
And that's where I started the whole,
you know, I'm gonna take back control of my life.
And that's when I realised, like, I'm 18,
I can now do what I want.
[DANNY] And then, so, when you started the Patreon, does your content start to change to become a bit more sexy content?
Yeah, so I did the original content,
which is me in like, you know, the denim shorts,
that kinda thing.
Then, I started...
Probably three, four months in,
I started doing like, some bikini stuff.
Then I started doing more, like, lingerie stuff.
Then I remember this one time, I think it was in 2020,
I posted a photo and I was like,
"Oh my God, that's like... Different to what I used to do."
And then that's when I realised
that my content was getting like, more sexual,
but I didn't mind it, like, at all, and I really enjoyed it.
And then when I was, I think 21...
I made an OnlyFans, and went all out.
I got my paid subscription. Think it was $15,
and I put it on Twitter and everyone was like,
"Oh my God, like, Lauren has an OnlyFans."
Because that was when,
like, lockdown was when OnlyFans got really big.
I think it's been around since maybe 2016,
but yeah, lockdown was when everyone was excited about it.
[DANNY] So, when someone subscribes to your page, they’ll see photos of you,
and then, what else can they do, can they message you? How else does it work?
Yeah, so there's a homepage which you'll subscribe,
you'll make your account.
You can subscribe to like, a free page,
which a lot of people have, or there's a paid page.
And then, yeah, they have the message option,
where people could, for example, be like,
"Oh, I'll send you $100
if you can send me this," that kind of thing.
[DANNY] So how many messages are you receiving or sending a day?
I probably spend over eight hours,
to 10 hours a day replying to people.
I lose sleep over it,
but there's so much that goes on behind-the-scenes.
It's unreal.
Like, even the production of content,
like, I have one person who shoots it,
then I have someone who organises it all,
and then I'll have someone who reviews all the photos,
and then, I also have three people
who are at a shoot setting everything up.
Like, the stuff that does actually go on
behind-the-scenes, it is crazy.
But it's the replying to messages
that takes up the most time.
[DANNY] Eight to 10 hours a day talking on OnlyFans to fans,
and, I imagine a lot of those messages are probably quite sexual in nature, some of them.
Does that have an impact on your own day-to-day life and your own dating life?
Because it’s always talking about sex.
That's the thing.
And, I was actually talking to someone about this recently.
And, I think some people really fail to understand
that because my job is thinking, talking,
the whole thing is sex-based,
sometimes I'm less interested in actual
romantic sexual relationships, because of that.
And, personally I've never like,
I've always been a very sexual person.
I'm not someone who goes around
and sleeps with loads of people.
Like, I have a very low body count, and...
I find it very hard to like, trust sleeping with people,
because I mean, I know guys as well,
myself in like, my personal life,
who've been like, "Oh yeah, like, I s****ed this bird
and I filmed her," and stuff like that.
I hate stuff like that
and I find it really hard to trust
that people aren't gonna, like, film or just anything.
It really creeps me out.
But yeah, no, I'm definitely less interested
in romantic sexual relationships,
because I'm thinking about sex like 20 hours a day.
It's just always like, even now,
we're talking about sex, you know?
It's just always sex, sex, sex.
And if it's not sex,
it's just like, looking at d**k pics or whatever.
It's just always, I'm always switched onto sex mode.
[DANNY] Have you had people say negative things to you about starting an OnlyFans and starting this kind of content?
So, some people were kind of like,
"Oh, I dunno why she's doing that," you know?
And people were like, "Oh, she's a prostitute,"
which I mean, I'm definitely not having sex
with people for money.
Put it that way.
That is very, very, very not what I do.
But, for me, it's no different, though.
The same girls who said stuff about me
from my school when I started the OnlyFans,
are the same girls a few years ago,
who are just sending nudes to guys, for free.
So I'm just like, I mean, make it make sense.
You know, it's something I enjoy,
I have a passion for it,
I'm very, very interested in the entire world of sex
and those kind of emotions.
And, for me it started as modelling,
and I do the more like HD glamour side of it.
I put a lot of work into what goes out there.
And even, for example, even if it's Valentine's Day,
I'll have like, an entire shoot planned just for that.
And the stuff that goes on behind-the-scenes,
I really value it as more than just,
"Oh, I'm just taking my clothes off."
But yeah, people reacted,
kind of they just reacted like I was a s**t.
[DANNY] I'm going to ask you probably the question you get asked most about OnlyFans.
Which is, how much money are you actually able to make on OnlyFans?
Oh, God, the amount right now honestly is endless.
I mean, did you guys see the Bhad Bhabie thing?
She made 52 million in a year.
I make a hell of a lot of money.
I've never revealed my full, like I get this much a month,
but I've had days where I've made over six figures in a day.
I mean, it's not obviously every day,
but I have had days where it's like,
if something specific happens and I get extra promotion,
I have had that, which to me is insane, so insane.
I get a lot of girls hating on me saying like,
"Oh, if I made an OnlyFans,
I would make nowhere near as much."
But you can, it's possible, anyone can.
And I know even males who make millions a month on OnlyFans.
It's so crazy. It's crazy.
[DANNY] So obviously you've worked with a lot of other YouTubers. People like the Sidemen, people like that there.
How do you find collaborating with other YouTubers in the UK YouTube scene?
One thing I always get asked is,
"Oh, is KSI the same in real life?"
That's one thing. Everyone is the exact same.
And I think people think we put on
this crazy act or we're so different on camera,
but we're exactly the same.
How I sit and act on camera, is how I am in real life,
and that's the same for every person I've met.
And collaborating with other YouTubers,
such as the Sidemen or Callux and stuff like that,
when I first collaborated with the Sidemen,
I think it was two years ago,
I think maybe just over two years ago,
two and a half years ago, maybe.
[DANNY] Is that the Sidemen Tinder?
Yeah, the Sidemen Tinder.
And that for me, I was like, "Oh my God, this is crazy."
But now, it's like, they're my everyday friends.
It's weird how things change.
For me, because I'm one of the girls
in the YouTube industry, who does have like,
a very sexual side to me and I'm very open,
people love seeing me collab with other male YouTubers,
because, they assume the maddest things.
The comments are always like,
"We all know what happened after this."
And it's so crazy to me.
But, you know, people love seeing me with other males
just because I'm a sexual person.
But I mean, it works for me, it works for them.
So, fair enough.
[DANNY] To put you on the spot then, which Sideman do you enjoy collaborating with the most?
Okay.
Oh.
When we're on set, I'd say the most fun person
is probably JJ.
He's either sleeping, or really wide awake and funny.
But I think I spend the most time with JJ.
So probably JJ.
That guy is a workaholic.
And every time I'm sitting there,
like, I work a huge amount of time and I love,
I really enjoy what I do,
but if I'm having a bad day where I'm like,
"Oh, I don't wanna get out of bed today,"
which does happen every other month,
I'll sit there and I'll be like,
"No, KSI would get up, he'd get out of bed."
So I think that motivates me,
because behind-the-scenes,
I know he's such a workaholic,
that even if I have a few hours of not doing work,
I feel so guilty.
So yeah, he's probably someone that I look up to in the UK
just because, I mean, he's huge.
[DANNY] Obviously you're an online presence.
Yes.
[DANNY] Have you ever had anyone famous slide into the DMs?
Ah.
I have.
Yeah, I've had some very famous people slide in my DMs.
Yeah, probably footballers, boxers,
I get a lot of rappers in my DMs.
I do want a DM from Jack Harlow, but I haven't had that yet.
So yeah, Jack, if you're watching this, I will s**g you.
I'm just saying.
[DANNY] Do you always want to be making content on OnlyFans? What do you want in life?
So, I've got a lot of things coming up at the moment.
I've got a project called Peachy Religion,
which I'm working on, which I can't reveal right now,
but that's coming very soon, which I'm really excited for,
and that's been in the works for about 18 months
And also, I've got something else coming,
which, it involves OnlyFans.
But, where I'm an OnlyFans model
and I'm very successful with it,
one thing I hate the most is seeing girls
in the industry being taken advantage of,
and I don't mean like, physically,
I mean people literally just,
management companies will give them so many fake promises
and take sometimes 50, 60, 70% of their earnings,
and that's so crazy to me.
Some of these girls, because they've started with nothing,
they have no followers and they wanna be an influencer,
they wanna be social media famous,
they wanna be that kind of person,
they give away so much to be able to do that.
And I know some people will even say, you know, like,
"Oh, I'm making 1,000 a month on OnlyFans,"
and then these management companies will say,
"We can get that to 100,000 a month,
but for the first two years,
you've gotta give us 75% of your earnings,"
which is so crazy to me.
These management companies,
they give the girls no moral support,
there's no mental health,
there's no resources for that,
they don't give them any help at all
and they don't even guide them properly.
So one thing I wanna do is I wanna take some time out
of my day, every day, working with girls
who haven't had the same opportunity that I've had,
they haven't had the same team
of people behind them 100% of the time,
and they don't get the right advice.
And I just wanna give them advice
and help them make a good career in it
and kind of just take them under my wing
and almost, like, mentor them
into becoming successful with it,
and just telling them how it is on a real basis,
because no one ever says it how it is.
