‘You don’t have the right to humiliate me and exploit me’
Caleb Hammer has gained notoriety for his harsh critiques of financial irresponsibility, but recent actions have sparked controversy. After subscribing to Bradley on a Budget’s OnlyFans account, Caleb detailed his findings during a TikTok livestream, leading many viewers to claim he crossed an ethical line.
With a following of 2.5 million on TikTok and 1.9 million on YouTube, Caleb creates content focused on personal finance, particularly targeting those who mismanage their money. His blunt style resonates with fans, making for engaging viewing as users share their financial struggles. In contrast, Bradley on a Budget has cultivated an audience centered around extreme frugality, providing tips and tricks to save money in creative ways.
Conflict Arises Over OnlyFans Content
Bradley’s journey into frugality stemmed from personal financial hardships he faced a few years ago. After regaining his footing, which included odd jobs and launching an OnlyFans account, he has embraced a lifestyle dedicated to saving money and sharing his journey online.
Recently, Caleb Hammer took to TikTok live, ostensibly to discuss Bradley’s financial tips. However, the conversation quickly veered into uncharted territory as Caleb subscribed to Bradley’s OnlyFans account. He proceeded to share explicit details with his followers during the live stream, including playing racy audios aloud and describing the images behind the paywall.

In a follow-up video, Bradley expressed his shock over Caleb’s actions, indicating that several followers flagged the incident for him. He stated, “Caleb Hammer did a live video commentary on you and played and described (without showing) your content. Seems illegal to me,” pointing out the unethical nature of Caleb’s actions.
Bradley elaborated on the situation, explaining how Caleb transitioned from critiquing his frugal lifestyle to delving into private matters. “Five or six minutes in, he discovered my OnlyFans and proceeded to describe what he was seeing,” Bradley explained. “My content is behind a paywall. It’s not for public consumption. Just because you pay doesn’t give you the right to exploit it.”

Bradley concluded with a message emphasizing the need for kindness in the online space, reflecting on the toxic environment. “I miss the internet we used to have when it was nicer,” he lamented.
