Based on the Indie Hackers interview with two active Only Fans content makers, it also sounds like their app is kinda shitty and slow.
Seems like they're opening the door wide open to a new competitor.
Crypto payments maybe? As a medium before it's sold back to USD/regular fiat.
I'm a cryptocurrency advocate, but for the average person transacting with crypto is still insanely intimidating and a pain to set up properly. Maybe paying with stablecoins could work but that is still a lot to ask of your users who are accustomed to paying for things with a credit card. Want to buy something? Open a Coinbase or Gemini account, hook up ACH or wire transfers, wait a week for the deposit to be made, t…

Reddit seems to have resisted whatever calls it must be getting to eliminate porn. So far at least. It will ban or quarantine some heretical ideas, but porn is still there.

> Creators will still be allowed to post nude photos and videos, provided they’re consistent with OnlyFans’ policy, the company said Thursday.
So I am guessing the distinction is nudes vs sex acts?

(not a judgment on what they do but the reality of the situation)
