Talk:Fanfix

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

Would appreciate the community's consideration of the following edits to this article to reflect recent developments.

• Separate the current History and Operations section to be two distinct sections
• In the newly created History section, Add information about the company’s initial funding from Antler, suggested language below:

In 2020, Fanfix received initial funding from Antler; founders Harry Gestetner and Simon Pompan were the youngest founders Antler had ever supported.^[1]

• In the newly created Operations section, Add the 2025 acquisition of the Sunroom startup, suggested language below:

In 2025, Fanfix acquired Sunroom, a startup designed to allow women and non-binary content creators monetize their web-based communities.^[2]

I've added a mention of Antler, but the claim about them being the youngest ever is trivial. The second change does not have a reliable source. (It's ironic that an outlet called "Missing Perspectives" wouldn't bother to give byline credit, but since it reads like AI slop churnalism anyway, perhaps that's for the best.) If you find a better source, we could reevaluate. Grayfell (talk) 18:54, 2 June 2026 (UTC)

Thanks, Grayfell. I appreciate all you did here. Your point about the sourcing on the Sunroom acquisition is well taken. This was covered in a press release that was picked up by Yahoo!Finance; do you think it falls into the ABOUTSELF category? Bluecenter2020 (talk) 14:12, 3 June 2026 (UTC)

I've used the press release to mention the acquisition. Grayfell (talk) 19:04, 5 June 2026 (UTC)

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

Can the following financial and numerical details be included in the article, in both the content and the infobox? While the sources are press releases, perhaps this information can be included as it is (also) covered by ABOUTSELF.

• Revenue as of March 2026 = $250 million^[1]
• Users as of March 2025 = 15 million+^[2][3]

Similarly, I'd like to suggest adding some additional information to the description of what Fanfix is. Something like this (note-the Observer article is already used as source 2 in the article):

Fanfix allows subscribers to pay for exclusive content and direct messaging with creators; each content creator determines their own pricing.^[4] Fanfix creators must apply to use the app and are offered performance-based incentives, but not to promote the app itself.^[5] Grayfell and Spiral6800, what do you think?

Comment: @Bluecenter2020, payouts to creators is not the same thing as revenue. Also, I'm seeing multiple different numbers for users when looking up info about this company. Ktkvtsh (talk) 00:03, 17 June 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for your attention Ktkvtsh, apologies for any confusion.

The most recent publicly available revenue is a 2023 figure of $35 million, sourced by this TechCrunch article. Can this be included in both the content and infobox? Perhaps the $250 million payout to creators figure can be included in the content as well?

Regarding the number of users, the most updated figure comes from the company's most recent press release (and picked up by news agencies as listed, #2 and #3 in the references above). Previous figures are likely outdated.

Please consider incorporating these details along with the expanded description of the company. Looking forward to working together. Thank you, Bluecenter2020 (talk) 20:15, 23 June 2026 (UTC)

Partly done by adding a better platform description. That is all I added. I believe anything else would be advertising for the company. Others may disagree and you are free to get a second opinion. Ktkvtsh (talk) 15:00, 30 June 2026 (UTC)

Thanks Ktkvtsh. Appreciate your time and attention. It was my understanding that AUM is a standard feature of infoboxes and article content. I am pulling together an additional request and will post soon. All the best, Bluecenter2020 (talk) 16:12, 1 July 2026 (UTC)

You're welcome. Sounds good. Ktkvtsh (talk) 17:25, 1 July 2026 (UTC)

Requesting approval for inclusion of the following details:

• Fanfix launched in the Middle East in March 2023 ^[1]
• Fanfix includes an analytics dashboard for tracking earnings, subscriber count, and other performance metrics.^[2]

(this Tech Crunch article appears as reference 1 in the current content)

• Each influencer sets a monthly subscription fee from $5 - $50 per month. The highest earner on Fanfix makes $7 million per year; multiple users make more than $1 million yearly.^[3]

(this Observer article appears as reference 2 in the current content)

Ktkvtsh, it was great collaborating with you earlier; would you consider these additions as well? Thank you, Bluecenter2020 (talk) 18:38, 2 July 2026 (UTC)

Bluecenter2020 (talk) 18:38, 2 July 2026 (UTC)

Please be aware of WP:CANVASS. I have added the info about the Middle East launch. The other changes will need a lot more work to be neutral. Again, Wikipedia isn't a platform for public relations. Grayfell (talk) 19:54, 2 July 2026 (UTC)

Thanks, Grayfell. Appreciate your help and input.

What do you think of this rework for these two sentences, to be added to /modify the end of the first paragraph of the History and operations section (below shows the modifications):

Fanfix was founded in December 2020 by college students Harry Gestetner, Simon Pompan and was later joined by Cameron Dallas as cofounder.^[1] Initial funding was provided by the venture capital firm Antler.^[2] Fanfix allows creators to place posts, videos and messages behind a paywall. The platform also includes analytics and statistics parameters for creators to track engagement. Creators set monthly subscription prices, varying from $5-50 per month, and the platform also offers paid direct messaging features.^[3] Creators' earnings on Fanfix vary; the highest earner on Fanfix made $7 million per year in 2023.

This reads like it’s meant to draw people into the website. Like advertising. Keeping in mind that you work for the company, it feels like you’ve been tasked with getting all of this added to the page for your job. I believe the article reads fine as it is now. Ktkvtsh (talk) 14:39, 7 July 2026 (UTC)

Per the discussion above, I am asking the community to consider including the revenue figure, number of users, and payouts to creators in the article (the first two in the infobox as well).

• Revenue as of March 2025 = $175 million^[1]

• Users as of June 2026 = 63 million^[2]

• Payouts to creators as of June 2026 = $300 million^[2]

Source 1 is a press release; would ABOUTSELF allow for the inclusion of this information?

Bluecenter2020 (talk) 18:10, 14 July 2026 (UTC)

I added the revenue and user # details to the infobox, with sources. Bluecenter2020 (talk) 21:50, 23 July 2026 (UTC)
