Pac-Man of porn Bonnie Blue finally crossed the line & got banned – but watch this space on OnlyFans for version 2.0
SO it turns out there is a limit to the kind of smut the world's most famous filth factory, OnlyFans, is happy to churn out. It has now banned Bonnie Blue, the Pac-Man of porn, after she revealed her next appalling stunt would take place in public at what she called a ' petting zoo '. 6 6 Having almost completed the 1001 Depraved Acts To Do Before You Die, Tia Billinger, as her mother knows her, was due to get into a plastic see-through box on Sunday and invite members of the public to climb in and do 'whatever they wanted' to her. So far, so typical for a woman who prides herself on making Linda Lovelace look like Mother Teresa. This Perspex perversion was due to be streamed on her OnlyFans site to all the sex-starved men who pay £5 a month to see her defiled. But the site told her that this particular stomach-churning challenge was dangerous and breached its terms of use. It then kicked her off. For good. Bonnie, who claims she has been unfairly 'singled out' by the ban, is now feeling blue as her earnings plummet. She claimed earlier this year she was making £600,000 a month exhibiting her wares on the site. While her bank manager might be clutching his collar, one thing for certain is OnlyFans will cope with losing its most notorious 'contributor'. Because while it may have dispatched Bonnie Blue it has plenty of other sexually adventurous 'stars' to keep it afloat. Blue's comrade in copulation Lily Phillips, for example, who pulls in £200k a month. The pair are like the Blur and Oasis of pornography, endlessly competing, not for record sales, but for the record number of males they can roll with in a session. Phillips last week upped the ante, pledging to beat Blue's 1,000 men in a day with 10,000 in a week. Her OnlyFans is still live as I write. OnlyFans devours porn. It is not the most profitable content subscription service in the world — £4.5billion last year — because it features people making Lego models of their cat. Its founder, Essex-born Tim Stokely, might suggest sex is not its USP but even its homepage begs to differ. Packed with promos for 'creators' doing such wholesome pursuits as fishing in Canada or hiking in New Zealand, one thing unites them — they are all attractive women wearing bikinis and offering 'spicy' content. OnlyFans would be nothing without them. It might as well be called OnanismFans. How else to explain its screeching U-turn over its decision to ban 'sexually explicit content' four years ago? In a volte-face to make Keir Starmer proud, in August 2021 it pledged to prohibit porn from October. A week on it changed its mind. The proposed ban was not the result of some soul-searching but a reaction to concerns from banks worried about reputational damage. OnyFans cleared up that little problem because, well, money talks. Now, I know what you're thinking. Given the millions of hours of cynical smut coursing through OnlyFans' servers, why the sudden fit of the vapours over Bonnie Blue? Well, the answer is simple. Bonnie Blue has finally gone too far. She has crossed a line. Wake-up call Her antics have now become so perverted and dangerous that even the murky, anything goes, porn-obsessed world of OnlyFans doesn't want her. How long before all the other websites still hosting content from this moral vacuum of an 'influencer' start to think the same? Will Elon Musk, apparently so keen to protect women, judging by his recent intervention in the grooming gangs scandal, now kick her off X? We shall see. Whatever, this tawdry episode should serve as a wake-up call to Bonnie Blue and all her clones to end this race to the bottom (worryingly there are many similarly dangerous wannabes, like Annie Knight, recently admitted to hospital after sleeping with 583 men in a single day. How long before she is banned too?). Hopefully they will now realise that the disturbing trend for increasingly extreme sex acts does have a limit. That offering yourself up to be used and abused by ever more men is not just dangerous, it is also no longer the guaranteed money spinner you think it is. BECK IN ROYAL FAVOUR 6 THE King 's birthday honours list was quite the lesson in forgiveness. Sir David of Golden-balls, who famously called the honours committee 'c***s', wasn't the only one granted absolution by The Firm. There was also TV producer Stephen Lambert, who got an OBE. He makes things like Gogglebox now but he used to run a company called RDF. You might remember RDF. It hit headlines in 2007 after it doctored documentary footage of the Queen arriving at a photoshoot to give the impression she had stormed out. 'Queengate' gave the BBC a collective cardiac arrest and top brass demanded to know who had tampered with the footage and insulted the monarch. A probe was launched and eventually the culprit came clean . . . one Stephen Lambert. MY great colleague, Clemmie Moodie, has been leading the charge for Robbie Williams to get a knighthood. I'm afraid she will have to do this without my, er, highly influential backing. Anyone who decided the excruciating Rude-box was an acceptable song to inflict on the world's ear drums should be banned from getting any honour – for life. TRAINS DEJA 2 HS2 has gone so far over budget it's now expected to cost the taxpayer about £100billion and will be delayed beyond 2033. So a train service that costs an absolute fortune and won't arrive on time. Nothing new there then. 135-year-old tortoise is becoming a dad after making the beast with two shells with a younger her-toise. Presumably it wasn't a quickie? PM ALL TALK ON TROOPS 6 THE sorry saga of Afghanistan war veteran George Ford tells you everything you need to know about our busted benefits system. He told us this week how he was struggling to get a home because his local council was prioritising those fleeing the Taliban. His treatment isn't just unfair, it's a grave insult to a man who was prepared to lay down his life for Britain and ended up with PTSD when that nearly happened. Sir Keir Starmer recently announced he wants to boost the Army by another 3,000 personnel to get us match fit for whatever war we end up fighting next. I hope enough people come forward – God knows we need them. But given the shabby way the Government ends up treating some of our veterans, he should not be surprised if he struggles to fill the roles. QUICK question for you: Is there anywhere better than England on a beautiful summer's day? There isn't, is there? Sitting outside with a cold beverage on the go, just staring into the middle distance. I absolutely bloody love it. Have a fantastic weekend, folks. A DOZY PARKER 6 KELSEY PARKER appears to be another gullible celeb who has spent too long reading conspiracy theories online. She refuses to put SPF suncream on her kids in case it GIVES them cancer. The 34-year-old pregnant mum-of-two reckons she just keeps her kids out of the sun. Really? For any parent with two under-fives – and I have been one – stopping your kids running around in the great outdoors is nigh-on impossible. So I'll be impressed if she has managed that. I hope she doesn't have the same aversion to After Sun as she's gonna need it this weekend when everyone is inevitably burnt to a crisp. WILL SMITH – WHAT FRESH HELL IS THIS? 6 WILL SMITH'S fall from grace after that Oscars slap was quite the skydive. But the old Fresh Prince is back, plugging a cheesy new rap song called Pretty Girls, just the kind of ditty you'd expect from a, er, 56-year-old father of three. He gave an interview to Radio 1Xtra this week in a bid to talk directly to da kidz and was asked how slapping Chris Rock in 2022 had affected him. Describing it as 'brutiful' ('brutal and beautiful') he then barfed up a word salad of such utter bollocks it would break Google translate. This is what he said . . . 'Finding that way to be able to be with my own humanity – be able to not be perfect but be human and find a higher power in my humanity than I found in my constellation of ideas of perfection that we called With Smith. "The fullness of who I am to allow that to be better than Will Smith. The honesty and the authenticity and the broader spectrum of the possibilities of who I am is actually better than Will Smith. 'Working in that space of authenticity and honesty and imperfection. Allowing that to grow into a higher perfection than the imagery of Will Smith is where I am as an artist and a human right now.' Got that?

Break The 5,000 LinkedIn Follower Wall With Proven Growth Tactics
Break the 5,000 LinkedIn follower wall with proven growth tactics If you created your LinkedIn account a while ago, have been posting decent content, and adding new connections after meeting people in person, you could have just hit 5,000 followers or pretty close. That's the easy bit done. There's a benefit to your account being this size. LinkedIn's algorithm favours content from accounts with highly engaged followers. The data shows that accounts with under 5,000 followers (58% of LinkedIn creators) often achieve an engagement rate of nearly 6% per post, which is significantly higher than the 3% seen by accounts with over 100,000 followers. So you want to build your account beyond 5,000 followers, but you want to keep your engagement rate high. You want to break through a follower plateau and hit the next level while making it worth your while. Growing beyond 5,000 requires fundamental shifts in how you create, engage, and think about growth. Let's get intentional about growing on LinkedIn. Those accounts getting all the attention already did the hard work. They found your people. Now stop competing and start complementing. Look at what they never talk about. Maybe they skip the messy parts of running a business. Maybe they avoid pricing discussions. Those gaps become your opportunities. Create content that makes their audience need both of you. Message them directly. Propose a follower swap where you each shout out the other's email list. Run a series where you tackle the same challenge from opposite angles. Partner with three so-called "competitors" and you could triple your growth in three months. Unless you're offering identical services to the exact same audience, you're not competing. You're building an ecosystem. Your rivals have what you want. Turn them into partners and watch both accounts grow. Your audience followed you for your specific take, not recycled LinkedIn wisdom. They can get generic tips anywhere. Share the weird stuff only you know. The pricing model that shouldn't work but does. The onboarding process you invented after losing three clients. The framework you built from your biggest failure. Give your methods names. Document them so precisely someone could steal them. When you package expertise into systems nobody else teaches, every share expands your reach. Call it the "7-minute meeting method" instead of "meeting tips." Show the exact steps, the specific results, the measurable outcomes. A post about a unique sales process could get shared hundreds of times when people see an approach they've never considered. Your unique methods are your growth engine. Stop hiding them. The LinkedIn algorithm gave you a free ride to 5,000 followers. That ride's over. Now you need allies with bigger accounts who share your audience. Find creators with 10,000-20,000 followers in adjacent spaces. Comment meaningfully on their posts for a week. Then propose something they can't create alone. Add messaging that serves both audiences. Maybe you know productivity systems and they know team management. Write comments combining both, and build out carousels from the comments that do well. Host a LinkedIn Live debating opposite approaches. Your 5K sees you partnering with someone they admire. Their 15,000 discovers fresh perspective. One collaboration beats fifty solo posts. Pick partners who make your content better, not just bigger. If you've gotten this far by posting once or twice a week, it's time to scale up. There's almost a direct relationship between posting frequency and LinkedIn account size, so you might as well get involved. Every post gives you a chance to hit people with your strong beliefs and ethos in a brand new way. You never know what might land. Staying consistent on LinkedIn isn't easy. You need a proven way of creating great content three to five times a week. But crack that content system and you'll likely see consistent, week-on-week growth. Scale far beyond 5,000 followers in no time at all. Every DM holds a content idea. That founder asking about your recent results represents hundreds with the same question. The consultant confused by your tech stack speaks for a silent segment. Your inbox shows you exactly what your audience needs. Screenshot the best questions and turn them into posts. Share your detailed answer then expand with context. This guarantees relevance because real humans asked for this exact information. Track which DM topics generate the most engagement. Build weekly series around those themes. You could grow from 5,000 to 20,000 by turning DM conversations into content. Your inbox already has your next viral post. Build past 5,000 followers by throwing everything at LinkedIn and not stopping until you are growing by thousands every month. Other people have done it, and it's possible for you. Share others' brilliance with your unique lens. Explain why it matters. Add the context your audience needs. Become the filter that saves them time while establishing your takes as worth trusting. Post better stuff, more often. Suddenly, you're everywhere, adding value to conversations you didn't start. People find you and follow, and the number grows from there.

6 ChatGPT Prompts That Get You Paid $1,000+ To Write In 2025
Writing is a multibillion-dollar industry that takes on a new meaning thanks to increased numbers of ... More online users Back in the day, you'd tell someone, 'I'm a writer,' and the reaction would almost instantly be the embarrassing equivalent of booing. 'Oh really?' they'd query smugly. 'How much does that pay?' Nowadays, it's a completely different story. The script has flipped, with content marketing reigning as king. In fact, content creation and marketing is a multi-billion-dollar industry, and much of it heavily depends on everyday writers who have harnessed their skills and interests to produce blogs, copy, and research worth reading. What's even better, freelance writing offers you the opportunity to build your own career, create your own flexible lifestyle, and get paid lucratively, especially in some niches like business and tech. And you don't even need to be a professional writer to make money from this skill. You can build experience and a portfolio over time and earn along the way. Freelance writers enjoy a level of freedom and career satisfaction that most professionals in non-creative industries or in traditional employment can only imagine. Quite a few are even making six figures, earning thousands each month. There are several compelling reasons you should start writing today: Note: I do not use ChatGPT or AI tools to generate and write my Forbes articles. I am a strong advocate for being authentic and transparent, and all of the stories and articles you see in my Forbes column are 100% human-written. The use cases provided here are suggestions for helping you make money through writing as a freelance writer, and even for other writing use cases which indirectly lead to revenue in a more efficient way, without full dependency on AI or using it to replace your voice.

Give me a series of LinkedIn post ideas to promote my personal brand and service offering, for the next week. The tone is [describe your writing tone and brand voice] I'm launching a paid newsletter on Medium called [newsletter name]. The theme will be focused on [what your newsletter is about, and include target audience and industry]. Generate some subject ideas for the next 90 days that I can follow loosely. The subject ideas must speak to a specific need that my audience has, and be highly unique, practical and tangible so they'll want to pay to read it. I've just written a blog and I want you to help me optimize it for SEO, as well as SGE, so it ranks highly in Google search and AI search results. Give me some suggestions on what can be done to improve it before I publish. I'm writing an in-depth thought leadership piece called [name] for my B2B client [name of client], using research and the latest data to create a white paper-like study, which has the following goals, according to the client [list the goals]. Help me outline and structure each part of this paper, and list some relevant sources for real-time data and stats that I can pull from to make this a solid research-backed study. This is how you write faster and smarter. Not through using AI to take away your own voice, but through using it strategically to: Write smarter and faster by using AI to assist with ideation, not to take away your voice Can you make money writing using ChatGPT? Yes you can, but only if you don't misuse it. People online are pretty good at detecting a fraud and can sniff when someone has used AI all over their writing, and it's not a positive first impression either. Ensure you genuinely have something of value and in demand to offer. Do I need to be an experienced writer to make money online? No you don't. You can make money as a beginner, offering your freelance writing services, and increase your rates as you gain experience.

Adobe launches genius new mobile app for content creators
Adobe launches genius new mobile app for content creators originally appeared on TheStreet. Are you tired of terrible artificial intelligence-generated content flooding the internet? I know I am. The real issue is not AI. Users are solely to blame. Only a person skilled at a job, capable of doing it without AI assistance, can harness the power of AI correctly. Of course, laziness and greed are big reasons behind bad AI use, too. Why? The goal is to pump out as much content as fast as possible to generate ad revenue and since AI can write scripts, make videos, synthesize speech, and create music quickly, it's easy to let it do everything for course, not all AI-assisted content is terrible. Rare AI videos that I sometimes enjoy are music parodies. The artist behind them typically changes the lyrics and genre and uses AI only to change the tone of his voice to match some famous person. Yes, there are incredible imitators out there who don't need AI for that, but even the best imitator has a limited range. Ultimately, creating the best content using AI requires finding the right balance between what to delegate to AI and what not to. Adobe is one company working hard to help creators find that balance in AI video and image editing workflows. Adobe is probably one of the companies that profited the most from switching to subscription-based services. Gone are the days of buying your copy of Photoshop and using it for as long as you like. I can't believe that 12 years have passed since the switch. The company's revenue has recently increased thanks to expanded AI efforts in video and image editing and ad creation () released its earnings report for Q1 2025 on June 12th. Here are the highlights: Record revenue of $5.87 billion, an 11% increase year-over-year. Gross profit of $5.23 billion, an 11% increase YoY. Net income of $1.69 billion, a 7.6% increase YoY. Diluted earnings per share were $3.94, a 12.9% increase YoY. Guidance for the full fiscal year 2025 was: Revenue from $23.5 billion to $23.6 billion Earnings per share from $ 16.3 to $16.5 More Tech Stocks: Amazon tries to make AI great again (or maybe for the first time) Veteran portfolio manager raises eyebrows with latest Meta Platforms move Google plans major AI shift after Meta's surprising $14 billion move "Many individuals and organizations are turning to AI to develop high-quality content with more agility and efficiency," said David Wadhwani, president of Adobe's digital media business, on the company's earnings conference call. "The Firefly app is becoming the Creative AI destination for Creative Cloud customers and new users alike to explore, ideate, create, and collaborate with AI workflows across media types." Do you know that feeling when you have a creative spark? You have an idea and must jot it down or make a sketch immediately. It's euphoric. Unfortunately, a lot of that creativity happens when you're on the go, making it harder to capture the spark before it fades. Sure, you might remember "most" of your idea a few hours later, but the rush of the moment will be gone, making it much more difficult to flesh out your creativity. Adobe might have a solution for company recently launched Firefly for smartphones, an app that enables users to generate and edit images and videos using AI on their devices. The app generates images and videos using text prompts and transforms images into videos. Editing features include adding or removing objects and extending the size of an image while filling in new areas with AI-generated content. Firefly AI's ecosystem now includes models from new partners, including Ideogram, Luma AI, Pika, and Runway, alongside existing models from OpenAI, Google, and Black Forest Labs. According to the company, models from new partners are launching first on Firefly Boards and will soon be accessible across the Firefly app. Hopefully, this will allow content creators to tap into their genius ideas without relying too much on lazy AI-generated launches genius new mobile app for content creators first appeared on TheStreet on Jun 17, 2025 This story was originally reported by TheStreet on Jun 17, 2025, where it first appeared.
