The Twitch streamer and YouTuber Simon “Unge” Wiefels is primarily known for Minecraft and savvy investments. He now admits that he was addicted to OnlyFans. There, he received the attention that he lacked in his relationship.
What’s going on with Unge? In the night of May 16, 2024, Unge reported on X, formerly Twitter, about three women who have reportedly been making his life miserable for years. This included his ex-girlfriend, with whom he was in a relationship until the beginning of 2023.
As the Twitch streamer reveals now, he developed a genuine addiction to pornographic content during this very difficult time for him, particularly on the paid platform OnlyFans. Now he discusses the “taboo topic” to help others.
OnlyFans star Amouranth has understood the business of perceived closeness:
Streamer says he longed for attention
Beyond the subscription, users have the option to leave tips or chat in private messages with the content creators (or with their ghostwriters via SRF).
What does Unge say about OnlyFans? The Twitch streamer admits that he was downright addicted to pornography. The platform of choice for him was the paid platform OnlyFans. He reportedly had up to 20 profiles subscribed there simultaneously. A subscription costs between $4.99 and $49.99 a month.
However, Unge was not only interested in consuming content on the platform. Apparently, he also chatted with the OnlyFans models. He says, “Receiving attention from these people temporarily filled a kind of void in me, the desire for recognition.”
As money played no role for him, he was able to secure particularly much of this attention, the Twitch streamer continues. Afterwards, however, he often felt bad about it. The “high” disappeared just as quickly as he could summon it.
Addiction is “super embarrassing,” but he wants to help others
How did he free himself? Unge suggests that he felt lonely and rejected in his relationship at that time, which is why he fled to OnlyFans. However, he managed to stop when the consumption of such content became a problem for his then-partner.
Even today, it’s still difficult for him to see revealing images on social networks.
Without OnlyFans, the Twitch streamer is now doing better. He writes that he wants to help people with similar problems with his post. However, he does not want to attack the creators of the platform: They should simply keep in mind that often lonely people sit on the other side, looking for validation.
He himself had not talked about his experiences for a long time because it was uncomfortable for him. He felt it was “a super embarrassing addiction.” For his courage to openly address the taboo topic, Unge receives a lot of support in the comments.

The German Twitch streamer JenNyan knows the other side, as she earned a bit extra with OnlyFans for a while. She does not regret her work and would do it again at any time, as she recently revealed on the podcast Henke’s Corner. Find out here, why she stopped OnlyFans despite earning €10,000 a month
