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.
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

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.

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...

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?
