Imagine my surprise when I subbed to his main page and discovered a full length 1080p copy for free on his wall of one of my favorite female performers that I thought was only in 720p because that's what leaked years ago. I don't know if it was 1080p all along or something OnlyFans itself did during their user surge during the lockdowns in 2020. Unless I'm wrong it seems like quiet changes only stat nerds would notice like encoding audio at 48kHz and fps being 23.976
Older videos before 2020 would have random frame rates, bitrates and samplerates. Maybe OnlyFans decided to have some consistency. Still an awful platform but maybe one positive thing they can get credit for.
TL;DR older videos before 2020 for Dredd and other creators might have better quality re-uploads, almost guaranteed if they have DRM from April 2023 onward. His free page definitely has DRM so could request to buy pre-2020 vids there. Although he has his menu he slowly updates so he might not want to randomly add much older content when he's still re-uploading recent vids.
Almost tempted to acquire the DRM copies of newer stuff I like as they have much higher bitrates than non-DRM versions (8000 kbps vs 6000 kbps)
