Dutch banks terminated accounts of Corona-critics / anti-vax'ers / conspiracy nuts ( you choose how to call them ). I wonder if climate change critics are next.
Wow, source? I'm not opposed to looking it up, but a claim like that will come across stronger if you link something
When I submitted it, I tried to find English sources, but couldn't.

What the hell did they think would happen? Does anyone remember Tumblr? No? We’ve already experienced what it’s like for a brand to lose any relevance by abandoning the very community that made it successful.
Yes? I check my Tumblr timeline pretty much every day - there's a lot of content there (and I only follow a handful of people.) Anyone suggesting Tumblr is dead is mistaken.
(And yeah, the daily posts are way down but that's after 8 years of neglect and mishandling. Any social network would suffer the same!)

Getting a degree in a field that has jobs helps too.
There are about three fields like that now. The median bachelor's degree in math or physics obtained in 2021 is basically worthless.

Doesn’t help when you don’t have the foot in the door because your family is not traditionally professional. I had to ask one of my old graduate project partners for a referral to my current (and first, at 27) tech job and I still feel dirty and guilty that I got it so easily and managed to escape the trap of being extremely qualified while making min wage in a dusty shithole of a warehouse. “It’s not what you know,…
I guess you can expect companies to start using the defence of many politicians, just create as much noise and kick up as much dirt as possible distracting from whatever the main issue is (in this case child porn on your platform [1]). They were never going to ban adult content were they. Cynical in the extreme. [1] https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-58255865 EDIT: I’ve updated this comment with a BBC investigation that s…
What evidence do you have that there was that sort of content on the platform?
I'm curious how much this may have impacted their users regardless. I imagine that a lot of people learned that relying on a single platform is dangerous and how important it is to diversify your online profile. I don't think people will trust Onlyfans anymore.
One of the advice that a popular youtube said is to start a newsletter, which is how you own your audience, as opposed to being at the mercy of the youtube algorithm. I thought this was a good advice to take for a long while before a youtuber mentioned it, but I wasn't a content creator. I think it's a good idea to have your own website as well.
As a Gen-Z also recently graduated (less than 5 years), I can assure you, the fact these platforms are so big is because being graduated isn't worth anything these days. You are lucky or you are not.

a good friend of mine is a sex worker, a cam girl to be precise, and uses OF as it is safer than other platforms. it should be noted that she is a brilliant individual and do this job due to severe psychiatric problems that prevent her doing more "normal" jobs. she feeds one child with this money, as a lot of sex workers that are also loving moms. it is important that such platforms do exist (if they implement proper…
> it should be noted that she is a brilliant individual it should NOT be noted. Too many good people died in the wars of past centuries to get us to the freedom and liberty we enjoy today to let any fundamentalists dictate what a normal job is and who works it. Sex work is work and if you dislike it you'd might enjoy Afghanistan these days.
In this case, I think the friendly way to interpret that comment is as an attempt to anticipate and pre-empt a very common and harmful misconception about sex workers.
