MYM (mym.fans) is a French subscription social network. Fans subscribe to a creator to unlock their exclusive content and message them, and creators can also sell individual pieces of content and tickets for their live streams.

Yes. Access to the platform and signing up are both free, and MYM says it takes less than 5 minutes to launch your page. The platform makes its money from a commission on your sales.

No. But your first subscribers will mostly come from the audience you already have on social media: the better your community knows you, the faster you’ll get going.

Yes, as far as the public is concerned: you can post under a pseudonym, which becomes your MYM username. Age verification, with your identity document and a selfie, is still required, but those documents don’t appear on your profile. The details are in our guide to creating a MYM creator account.

Your subscription, pay-per-view content in your Media On Demand library, push media offered in your messages, private media on request and live tickets. Your fans can also send you tips. Each format is covered on our page about MYM’s creator tools.

MYM says you keep 80% of your earnings from day one: the platform keeps 20% as its commission, calculated on the price of each order. Creators who reach Superstar status pay a lower commission. For the full picture, see how MYM works.

A fan can cancel their subscription at any time and keeps access until the end of the period they’ve paid for. Any month that has started is due in full, with no pro-rata refund, and by accessing the content straight away the fan gives up the statutory 14-day cooling-off period.

Yes, as long as you label it clearly (#AI, #AIgenerated, or the words ‘image virtuelle’, meaning virtual image) and never depict a real person without their written consent. MYM may show a badge on your profile flagging AI content.

Yes. You can get an agency or an AI tool to handle some of the work, such as replying to messages. An agency must be declared to MYM, and you remain responsible for everything that happens on your account.

No. MYM describes itself as ‘a home for all creators’: influencers, athletes, artists and more. Adult content sits alongside other kinds of content, but it is hidden by default and only visible after age verification. Either way, MYM is strictly off-limits to under-18s.
