No, it's ok, we've had enough of your filth. I, on the other hand, would like to thank them for this.
1. Who is "we"?
2. What my filth?
3. Game of Thrones, until the unfortunate last season, has been one of the most successful ever, and it was notorious for "adult" content (read: sex and violence). It is mainstream.
So please get off the high horse, there is clearly enough demand and acceptance of "adult" content in mainstream culture.
Individual artists would benefit from the ability to get paid in the case they don't luck out and get HBO to back them, though.

But I don't see a link to those terms in the message, and I can't find a link to those terms anywhere else on the main page. I also can't find your privacy policy. A couple of questions on that front: - Do your terms include mandatory arbitration agreements for creators? - Do your terms include mandatory arbitration agreements fo…
> Your signup link mentions that you ban adult content. Do you have a clear definition somewhere of what adult content is, or is this following the "know it when we see it" model of platforms like Patreon and Steam? It's a little dismaying that so few -- quite possibly zero -- mainstream creator-payment platforms like this are comfortable with adult content. Patreon seems to still be trying to thread that needle, but…
I try to regularly draw attention to the fact that payment processors are systemically disenfranchising people who produce adult content, and that payment platforms are implicitly cooperating and encouraging that disenfranchisement by silently going along with the processors without even speaking up or openly questioning the standards. But I'm not super-surprised when I see those bans, because pretty much every platform has them.
On the other hand, a ban on violent content is something I haven't seen a lot of, and that makes me question who this service is even designed for. Does that mean anyone producing a comic or writing a book would need to make sure it's the violence equivalent of PG or below? Why would any creative use a platform with that kind of restriction?
Again, there's no hard line describing what that means. You just have to make sure that anything you produce is relatively tame.
It's very, very weird to live in a world where culturally people almost universally celebrate the artistic value and entertainment value of shows like Game of Thrones and Breaking Bad, while simultaneously building platforms where that kind of content just can't exist. It's an almost absurd cultural disconnect that only seems to exist to lock any non-establishment creators out of building meaningful stories that stretch boundaries or challenge viewers.
How do you differentiate from https://ko-fi.com/ ? My partner has been using this for a year or so, and hasn't had much revenue.
Buy Me A Coffee is more than a simple donation button/link. We help creators set up memberships, publish members-only content, website widget and more. You can read the full comparison here - https://www.buymeacoffee.com/ko-fi-alternative That said, we're big fans of all creator monetization companies like substack, patreon, ko-fi, etc.
Awesome stuff ... looks great! Tiny bug when I go to: https://thesundaypaper.buymeacoffee.com/ and I press the burger icon and explore creators then I get a 404. Hope that helps and keep kicking asses!

With marijuana businesses, the issue is that the bank could potentially lose access to the federal system for knowingly issuing a bank account to a business that is violating federal law. This would basically shut the bank down, from what I gather.
My assumption is there is likely a similar mechanism in place poisoning the entire payment system for adult content. If I wanted to work on the issue, I would dig until I found the root cause, which is very likely legal/regulatory and very likely at the federal level in the US. Then put resources into addressing the actual root cause instead of fussing at the payment processors.

1) There is no collective 'we'
2) there is no collectively defined 'filth'
3) 'your filth' seems like a personal attack.
I hope they figure out how to include everyone in their service, rather than a discriminatorily chosen group of people at their payment processors' whims.
Meanwhile payment processors are okay with 'filth' at every other level of their businesses -- don't paint them as wholesome, they're just legally cautious.
Also, for the sake of this discussion, let's re-evaluate what adult content is; it's not just pornography.

- They appear to be forthright with this information. (That's certainly better than terminating users.)
- Aren't they at the mercy of the payment processor?
If the demand still stands for a "buy-me-a-coffee-for-erotic-content", then couldn't anyone else create that service? I empathize with your frustration, but I reject the sentiment that Buy Me a Coffee has intentionally done anything wrong.
