A woman who decided to let her OnlyFans subscribers make every decision in her life is considering closing the door to new fans after her account blew up.
Student Laurie, from France, joined the site a few weeks ago, like many before her - but rather than just post saucy pics and videos, she decided to deploy 'a concept never seen before on this platform'.

"I let the fans control my whole life," the 23-year-old told LADbible. "Every decision of my life, important or not. They will have control."
Laurie said that she had 'huge success right from the start' and soon found herself in the top 0.4 percent of creators on the site; however, while most people would be rubbing their hands and counting the dollars coming in, she is now considering shutting off her account to new subscribers and focusing her attention on those she already has.
"I don't see my subscribers as a group but more as individuals," she explained. "I like to take the time to really get to know each person on my account and I think that's what makes me different from other content creators.

"I don't like to reveal too much of myself with mass messages for everyone. I prefer to get to know each person.
"I'm afraid that the account will grow too fast and I won't be able to guarantee this authenticity. I'm thinking about closing the doors for new fans."
While the novel - and quite frankly, terrifying - concept has proven extremely popular, Laurie insists her motivation was to create a 'small community' of people to mutually share lives with.

"I know it's hard to really create meaningful relationships through social media," she said.
"I do my best to communicate my energy and positivity through my posts. And even if it's not possible to change how social media works, I try to create on my own scale an OnlyFans account where people really matter.
"I'm not trying to change the world. I'm not even trying to fight a social battle.
"I'm just trying to create a small community of people willing to share their lives with me. And talk with me."

She added: "I understand that some people can't understand that. And I don't want to try to convince them. What really matters to me is that the subscribers on my account are happy."
So, how exactly does it work?
The Parisian - aka Live with Laurie - has been posting polls on Telegram, which anyone can vote on freely, before posting the results on her OnlyFans page.

The polls could cover anything from what she should have for lunch, to whether she should gamble all of her earnings at the casino.
Subscribers can also suggest poll ideas.
And so far, the experiment has seen her leave her partner and quit her internship, and she has no plans to take back control of her life anytime soon.
"I have no regrets, I don't know yet where this experience will lead," she said. "I'll leave it up to the fans to choose the next polls. I'm excited to see where it all goes."
