Methodology
A short, citeable account of how the directory is built — so journalists and creators can check the claims behind our numbers.
Scope
HottestGuys indexes male creators on OnlyFans only. Profiles come from a licensed data provider (not a direct scrape of OnlyFans). Gender is tagged at ingest; non-male accounts are excluded from the public directory.
What a “shown” listing means
A profile appears in browse, niche and search views when it is listed, not hidden, and has a local avatar on disk. Hidden rows include accounts with heavy graphic overlays, banner text, crowns, logos or other edits that fail our clean-avatar rule. Counts quoted on the Press page use this “shown” definition unless noted.
Ranking
Default order is total likes (the engagement figure OnlyFans publishes for every account). Subscriber counts are shown when a creator makes them public, but they are never used for ordering: only about one in eight male profiles exposes the number, so ranking on it would leave the list full of gaps.
Alternate sorts (newest, free-first) are available on search and category views. We do not take payment for placement.
Prices
Price is the published monthly subscription from the provider snapshot. It is not
the full cost of following a page — most creators sell additional content by
direct message, and free pages usually make their money that way. Free means
is_free or a subscription price of zero in the snapshot. Prices are
not re-audited against live OnlyFans checkout on every page view.
Niche & body-type tags
Niches are multi-label. Labels are derived from words creators use about themselves in their own bios, plus curated keyword maps. A creator can appear under more than one niche; niche counts therefore sum to more than the number of shown profiles. Tags are algorithmic/curated — not a substitute for creator self-ID in every case.
SFW / SafeSearch policy
The directory is intentionally SFW: non-explicit avatars, explicit bio language stripped from the public page (originals retained in our database for ops), and no teaser video or “leaks” on model pages. Listings link out to the creator’s own OnlyFans page. We host no explicit media. The site is marked 18+ in the footer and legal pages; there is no age-gate interstitial.
What we don’t do
- Host, mirror or proxy explicit media.
- Scrape OnlyFans directly.
- Sell placement or “featured” ranking.
- Claim Google rankings while the site is pre-launch / noindex.
Corrections
Prices change, bios change, and handles get recycled. Creators can request correction or removal via the DMCA & removal page. Removals are actioned within 48 hours and are permanent.
