True-- there's enough moral griping about whether or not you get needles and how many in meatspace.
I would restate it was never supposed to be about adult material to begin with. Now maybe they should embrace this new industry instead of rejecting it for business reasons. But at the same time, it's their business. They have a right to run it the way they want it.
Compare and contrast with orgs like Twitter where it insists upon being a primary communication utility for all public discourse while also claiming to be a private platform whenever it wants to ban wrong thinkers. OF is putting the burden on its service providers and not on the consumers
They thought it was going to be like celebrities and influencers using it to connect with their fans in a more meaningful and personal way. That's what they're trying to pivot towards now.
It’s not commercial banking with the problem. They’re seeking capital from investment banks who’s charters specifically forbid investments into adult entertainment.
If you can find an investment firm who’s charter allows adult entertainment, then it’s fine. But these charters have very specific rules about where they can and cannot invest for many reasons.
You can visa and zelle porn until you’re blue in the dick. They’ve Always have had that ability. But you cannot attract investment banking money bc you are not allowed into their radar.
Investment banking is not commercial or credit. It’s not consumer grade. It’s an entirely different animal.

Im not. conservatives need to stop with the libertarian BS. conservatives used to cancel commies rightfully so. Now they think any impingement on "free speech/expression" is a violation. Well the left ensured their cultural conquest with that attitude.
It was never really supposed to be for whoring to begin with
Yes it was.
It's a common trend with creator platforms: They allow adult content to grow the platform, then, once the explosive growth period is over and they're big and well known, they ban it because they can now cruise on the brand name that was built for them by the very people they're now kicking to the curb.
It happens again and again with these sorts of platforms.
tl;dr version, just another day doing business with tiny hats.
Tumblr's still here, and will will be for years if not decades.
Consider that LiveJournal, Myspace, Digg, YTMND, Neopets, Gaia Online, Habbo Hotel, Ebaumsworld, Newgrounds, and countless other websites you haven't looked at for ten years or more still exist. Who visits these sites? How do they still have employees? How do they make money? I have no idea, but what's clear is that if you have a once mega-popular website, you can viably maintain it for a long, long time, and still seem to be making money. ...Somehow.
It died. Just like Ruqqus died when they banned "incitement of violence". Sometimes the user base that forms for a service isn't what you really wanted and I can understand the feeling. But banning your primary user base is a 100% surefire way to instantly destroy your service.
Sold to WordPress for something like $3m. It was low enough I was shocked that I actually had enough on hand at that time to buy it. Instead I’ve just been buying more farmland.
They got the community added shortly after they tried going to ruqqus, and the ruqqus hit them with a ban as part of a blanket ban wave against "hate" channels. Ruqqus quickly said "oh, shit," and reinstated the MGTOW guild once they realized they done fucked up, but at that point it was too late and the group had laready found alternatives, like the sub-win.
“In order to ensure the long-term sustainability of our platform, and the continue to host an inclusive community of creators and fans, we must evolve our content guidelines,” OnlyFans said.
and the continue to
But not ensuring they proof-read their press releases, however. Unless they're [d]evolving their grammar. [Which of course we all know is sexist and racist and something something darkside anyway]
Gotta love it when the banks cuck out and screw (no pun intended) a major source of revenue, just because they want to get all puritanical about it. That being said, I fully expect another alternative to rise up (pun fully intended) in short order, because porn, uh... finds a way.
The changes are needed because of mounting pressure from banking partners and payment providers, according to the company.
Too much power/ they should be able to sell porns if they want
“In order to ensure the long-term sustainability of our platform, and the continue to host an inclusive community of creators
Ooh this one is Good.
sex work still has a stigma. And OnlyFans is trying to raise money from outside investors at a valuation of more than $1 billion. The company handled more than $2 billion in sales last year, and is on pace to more than double that this year. It keeps 20% of that figure.
Holy shit. this isn't "SEX WORK" its eslooting at home. sex work means having to have sex with people as a prostitute, not fucking a dildo for people on the internet.
the company wont double that with no more explicit shit, lmao. Im surprised at how much they are making though, 400m is a crazy amount of money for a fucking nastyass porn app.
Pfffffhahahahhahahahahahahahahha!!
It was never really supposed to be for whoring to begin with tbh so this is more correction than crack down
I'm sure livejasmin is hiring

In other words using the platform to push their vaccine agenda, or something similar
a patreon alternative
Their name would have been good for a patreon competitor. But the brand is probably too damaged now for that
Maybe, but if banks removed violent games would it really be more pressure on the providers or equally for the gamers who had enjoyed them?
That's what you get for running your company out of the UK. Bitchute cucked out, too.
seriously this site is 2 BILLION in sales, thats HUGE for a rando ass website.

It is.
And?
So what?
It is not a bad thing. I support cancel culture, but for canceling the right things: commies, leftists, anti-American scum, globalists, antifa/BLM...
Yes it was.

Case and point, Tumblr. As good as dead, assuming the same for onlyfans sooner or later
But don’t they just render themselves obsolete when they ban it, like tumblr?

ebaums!!!
Yeah that triggered some long buried memories.
Put Shoe On Head
and then spend 7 years trying to marry armored skeptc
what was it supposed to be about?
They'll just pivot to gray-area content like hot tubs, bikinis, etc like Twitch. Still funny though
Nudity still allowed.
Obligatory Dankula
TFW you realize a Scottish comedian has more sense than the last 20 years of the Pant Suit Empire's military leadership.
Whatever happened to Tumblr after they banned porn? Haven't seen them mentioned anywhere since then.
It died. Just like Ruqqus died when they banned "incitement of violence". Sometimes the user base that forms for a service isn't what you really wanted and I can understand the feeling. But banning your primary user base is a 100% surefire way to instantly destroy your service.
Yeah hence the scare quotes
'incitement'
I am not sure what they banned. But some glowing comments are not legally inciting violence, but will get you in almost as much trouble as real ones.
Wasn’t there a pretty big overlap between that stuff and the NSFW art? I’m surprised even that group stayed.
Sold to WordPress for something like $3m. It was low enough I was shocked that I actually had enough on hand at that time to buy it. Instead I’ve just been buying more farmland.
Farmland was a better investment.
Wow, lmao, didnt verizon pay WAY higher for it when it was bigger?
Whoa, was that a stealth addition? I don't always agree with the chaps but they almost always had well argued points.

was that when nnn was containerized too?

What do you know, TheImpossible1 got his first orgasm from Onlyfans.
Simps might have a chance now that they will be forced into prostitution.
Not a problem, I'm working on a censorship free content subscription service as we speak.
Come October 1st they just gotta transition to my site Lonlyfans.com
Tell your thots.

seriously 2 billion in 1 year, lmfao. wow. 4b next year? YIKES thats gonna be some 1% fuckin whorish bishes lmaoo
Technology owes so much to porn, and yet, when that tech gets to a certain level, the porn is tossed.
I knew the Wii would be huge when a brothel in Vegas had a developers kits for one, and a few other consoles.
2 Billion in sales and they're unhappy... Foh!
400m for onlyfans and projected 800m next year - exactly, greedy cunts lmfao
how many people do they evne need to dev that site? id be surprised if more than 50.
*15
I can see the cam-hoes getting extremely angry as they will struggle to find a replacement that does not profiteer off malvertising.
Cashmeoutside. Howbowdat
The only thing I can figure is that this is somehow a money laundering scheme, I just don't know how yet.
It’s not like they can’t just go to another porn site
Ahahahhahhahahahahahahahahahahaha. laughing.gif

Tumblr Exodus 2.0?
The policy is OnlyFans employees get free top-tier perks.
