The attached video in the post shows Piper in a beige bodysuit posing in front of a mirror—it's a short teaser clip she used to hype the launch.Background on Piper RockellePiper rose to fame as a child on YouTube (starting around age 8–11), with family-friendly content, challenges, and the "Piper Squad" group. Her channel has millions of subscribers, but she faced controversies, including abuse allegations against her mother (featured in a 2025 Netflix docuseries) and lawsuits from former squad members.Public Reactions and ControversyReactions on X and elsewhere are heavily mixed:Some praise it as a smart business move and "capitalism winning."

Many criticize it as disturbing, given her child-star background, raising ethical questions about grooming fans from a young age and the fast transition to adult content.

Comments range from humor/sarcasm ("rookie numbers," "we're screwed as a society") to outright concern about subscribers and societal implications.


Skepticism Around the ClaimsThere is notable skepticism: Some influencers and users accused her of faking/photoshopping the earnings screenshots (e.g., typos in early versions that were deleted, inconsistencies in numbers). Similar doubts have surrounded other high-profile OnlyFans debut claims. The figures haven't been independently verified, and a few reports note deleted posts or varying totals.Overall, it's a massive viral story highlighting the wild economics of influencer transitions—but with plenty of debate over authenticity and ethics.
