Former OnlyFans CEO Ami Gan and Co-founder Kailey Magder launch "the HBO of social media"

Vylit, an 18+ creator-first social platform, today announced its public launch, offering creators and fans a new space to share, discover and monetize content. Co-founded by Amrapali (Ami) Gan, former CEO of OnlyFans, and seasoned entrepreneur Kailey Magder, Vylit fills the long-missing gap between traditional social media and creator platforms – where creators can be provocative, marketable and in full control. The platform combines the discovery and connectivity of social media with a creator-first monetization model, focusing on people, content, and authentic communities rather than ads, algorithm-driven noise, and engagement metrics.

Built as "the HBO of social media," Vylit allows topless content and body-positive expression while prohibiting explicit content, creating space for edgy but mainstream-friendly content. The platform accelerates growth for creators at any stage through its precision-based discovery tool, Vylit Vybe Matching, which matches creators and fans by shared interests, not follower counts. Vylit also features built-in monetization tools and in-house AI designed with transparency and consent as foundational principles.

The platform's Vylit Vybe Matching Engine connects creators and fans based on shared interests and aesthetics rather than viral algorithms, while built-in monetization tools allow creators to earn through subscriptions, tiered access and AI-powered chat engagement. Vylit's AI tools include two key features built in-house by the platform's dedicated team: AI Image Generation, which lets creators produce photorealistic images directly within the platform, and Vylit AI Chat, which enables creators to deploy personalized AI-powered conversations that mimic their voice and tone. This helps creators maintain engagement with fans even when unavailable, offering new monetization opportunities while preserving connection. Transparency and consent are foundational: fans always know who they're interacting with, whether it's the creator directly or AI assistance.

“I spent years watching creators build audiences on one platform and monetize on another. That fragmentation doesn't work. Vylit brings both together,” said Ami Gan, Co-Founder and CEO of Vylit. "Creators are running real businesses – building strategies, fostering communities, connecting with their audiences. Vylit gives them the freedom to express themselves and monetize on their own terms, while fans can discover and connect with people who share their interests.”

"We created Vylit because we were frustrated with how social media works today," said Kailey Magder, Co-Founder and COO of Vylit. "Platforms are cluttered with ads, political content, and algorithm-driven noise. We wanted to build something that focuses on people, content, and real communities – not engagement at all costs. Vylit gives creators the freedom to express themselves and actually earn, while fans get to discover people who share their interests without all the chaos."

Vylit puts safety at the foundation of its platform and operates with mandatory age verification, content moderation, and operates as a strictly 18+ platform, a structural approach the founders believe is essential for platform safety and cultural honesty. The platform is launching with an invite-only model, allowing users to join in waves to ensure a curated community experience from day one.
