It sure sounds like this was forced on them by their payment processors, not that this was a voluntary move. https://twitter.com/danprimack/status/1428420774449266691?s=...
Why should payment processors force them to. They will make less money

This is absolutely ridiculous. What if they decide people can no longer buy dildos or lube or condoms or guns or alcohol or meat on Fridays? There’s no law with respect to “payment neutrality”??
This is going to be corporate suicide on a greater scale than Tumblr's policy. I say greater because OnlyFans is/was still on a massive upswing whereas Tumblr was 10 years past its peak already when the nails went in the coffin. Edit: I understand this is supposedly not their choice.

Payment processors need to be declared a utility. Any legal business shouldnt have banks playing morality police.
This supposedly coming soon system should ideally be able to serve as the electronic payment utility. https://www.federalreserve.gov/paymentsystems/fednow_about.h...
Hopefully we'll see the same effect here with bitcoin or a single processor making a killing in the market for "sins"...
Were they getting their credit card processing in the non-adult category. I know a bunch of adult credit card processors are in the range of 12-15% and OF only takes 20%. Maybe that is why they are cracking down on them. There are plenty of porn sites out there operating legally, wonder why the banks are giving them issue.

General public agrees that explicit material is bad.
Right now we have in Poland shops closed each Sunday - it is annoying for me. Selling alcohol in Norway is heavily restricted and I see more and more restrictions on alcohol sales in Poland.
Explicit material is tied a lot to money laundering, there is also a lot of scams tied to it and lots of stolen cards are used to pay for explicit material. It is huge cost for payment providers, all the laws for anti-laundering trump any "payment neutrality".
If you want to see naked ladies go to "a place" and risk on your own, pay with cash.
