Those purchases aren't paid for by Only Fans. It's the content creators who pay for all that (unless there's a way to get sponsored by OF, I don't know). However, reliably storing and streaming video in high quality across the globe with low latency, both live and on demand, which is what OF does, is expensive af. It's one of the reasons, if not the main one, there are no real competitors to YouTube.
I'm sorry, but you're confused, and you're making me very confused. Or I'm confused and you're confused also. All I know is I'm confused. And you.
Viewer (customer) pays $100 for some content. Of those 100, OF (infrastructure & service provider) takes $30 as an income and the remaining $70 goes to the content creator as income.
Profit is what's left from the income after you have paid your costs. The 30% OF takes is an income from which they will have to pay for things needed to run OF, and the 70% the content creators get is their income from which they have to pay for the things they need to create the content. Wages are included in the costs. What's left after paying bills, wages etc are the profits.
