Following vs Subscribing — What's the Difference?

## Following vs Subscribing These are two different ways to connect with creators on FANZA, and understanding the difference helps you get the most out of the platform. **Following** is completely free. When you follow a creator, their free (public) posts show up in your home feed. You'll also appear in their follower count. Think of following like following someone on any social media platform — you see what they share publicly, but you don't get access to anything behind the paywall. **Subscribing** is a paid relationship. When you subscribe to a creator, you get everything that comes with following, plus: - Full access to all their subscriber-only posts, including their entire content archive - The ability to send them direct messages (if they have this enabled) - Access to their live streams and the ability to interact during broadcasts - The ability to unlock pay-per-view content they post (though PPV has its own separate price) So in practical terms: if a creator posts a mix of free and exclusive content, following lets you see the free stuff while subscribing unlocks everything. Many people follow a creator first to get a sense of their free content, then subscribe when they decide they want more. There's no pressure either way — both options are always available on a creator's profile page.
