Think “show your titties,” not “suck a dick.”
Man, I would hate to be the judge of "nude but not sexually explicit" content
I'm sure you could find a few volunteers.

#393mounting pressure from banking partners and payment providers HN is often sceptical about use cases for crypto beyond speculation. This looks like one.
Sounds like a great way to get crypto federally banned. It would probably only take a single high profile trafficking case to get a law to sail through both houses.

That's my question, too - I thought OnlyFans was a hosting platform for personal porn sites; I remember there was a big uproar a few months back when some TikTok influencer joined the site and started posting non-adult content. People were upset that they were diluting a site that's specifically for adult content.
Linus Media Group (Linus Tech Tips) started an OnlyFans parody-style account for April Fool's this year https://onlyfans.com/reallinustechtips Ended up being one of the top accounts on the platform for a while.
They also donated the income to a right to repair act.

#395Sadly I know girls who are using OnlyFans to keep a roof over their heads and stay out of abusive relationships. Whether we like what they're doing to make money OnlyFans was providing them a much-needed revenue stream. Now that's being taken away from them by the morality police who won't be affected by the consequences of their own decisions.
With all due respect, the fact that anyone is forced into porn to get housing be safe from abusive partners is the indictment of a society. I get that it's a de facto situation for some, but let's not drop the onus on "morality police", payment processors, and OnlyFans for a massive societal failure to help vulnerable people. You could take that argument as far as you want (prostitution, drug sales, etc). There is so…
You make the claim they are forced but do you have any sources for that claim? All I can say for sure is that now, they are forced out of porn. This problem is not directly a morality problem. It is a chargeback issue. More like chargebacks via stigmiziation of sexuality but that is just an opinion.

Why should there be? It seems absurd to MANDATE anyone participate in the sex trade. There are payment processors who specialize in adult content.
We mandate that some companies participate in the sex trade, at least to the extent that payment processors can be considered to be participating. The electrical company is mandated to provide power to Onlyfans' datacenters, so long as they are paying for the service. Also there's basically only four payment processors: Visa, Mastercard, Discover and Amex. None of them specialize in adult business. There are downstre…
I think this is different. If the customer is unhappy with the service provided, their dispute has nothing to do with the electrical company, nor are they going to claw back payments to them.
Re: OnlyFans to block sexually explicit videos starting in October
#397Wait, so what are they going to do without their only source of revenue? I was pretty well under the impression that OF pretty much only hosted camgirl accounts. I mean, other than the token "thought influencers" they probably bought to try to give themselves a glimmer of legitimacy. It's so bad that other social media sites (well, TikTok, I don't know about others) completely ban mention of OnlyFans under the assumption it's just porn.

Some years ago I interviewed with a company that served as a payment risk processor for high-risk businesses (in short, porn). The chargeback rate on online porn is huge . As a result, where a traditional payment processor may be 1.3–3.5% depending on the business and the assessed risk, for a high-risk business, the rate can be much much higher. While Onlyfans keeps 20%, I'm guessing that they'd be badly hurt if they…
Another thing that feels uniquely-US to me is chargebacks. I don't even know what's the process for initiating one in Russia. I once wanted to do that (forgot to disable auto-payment for internet in the apartment I rented and since moved from), called my bank, they told me that there's nothing they could do and I have to talk to the merchant to get a refund. But many comments here imply that chargeback is almost as e…
The US has specific legal rights to a chargeback.

"I forgot to disable automatic billing" probably wouldn't be a valid chargeback, though.
Re: OnlyFans to block sexually explicit videos starting in October
#400It really doesn't sit right with me that payment processors can emit such a huge pressure that OnlyFans is willing to loose 99.9% of their userbase becuase they just have no other choice.
Its almost as if Yarvin had a point when he described The Cathedral.
