Keep getting my FYP stuck behind the pay wall- please help me to post correctly?

TLDR

I’ve been there, hitting that annoying paywall when I just want a quick teaser out. It’s maddening to see good content get locked and your FYP stay silent.

Why Is My Free Preview Stuck Behind a Paywall?

When you upload a video and tick the free preview box, Fansly thinks you’re still protecting the full clip. The platform adds a subscription gate even to the preview, so viewers see a “subscribe to watch” prompt before the teaser plays. That extra step kills the flow and often stops the video from even entering the For You feed. I’ve tried re‑uploading, changing the order, and even trimming the clip, but the gate stays. The only workaround I’ve found is to treat the preview as its own separate upload, without linking it to a PPV or subscriber‑only post. That way the platform treats it as a public clip and it can slide into the FYP naturally.

What’s the Right Way to Share Free Teasers on Fansly?

The trick is to create a dedicated short clip that you upload as a public video first. Keep it under a minute, no paywall tags, and make sure the thumbnail is eye‑catching. Once it’s live, you can link the longer PPV or subscriber video in the description or in a follow‑up post. This separation tells Fansly that the preview is truly free, so the algorithm can push it to more eyes. Also, avoid using the “add free preview” button on a paid post; just upload the teaser on its own and let it sit in your feed.

Would moving your free teasers to Xlove or xlovecam give you a cleaner path to the FYP without the subscription gate?
