Quality trumps quantity - it's better to fully enjoy 5-10 creators than feel overwhelmed by 30+.

Remember: OnlyFans should enhance your life, not stress it. If subscription management feels burdensome, simplify. Keep only creators you genuinely enjoy, maintain a comfortable budget, and remember subscriptions are flexible - you can always resubscribe later.
