I haven't fact-checked, but this OF creator posted screenshots of her chat with OF support denying the Bloomberg article & stating sexually explicit stills and videos will still be allowed: https://mobile.twitter.com/ShyCutieMFC/status/14285024291510...

#772Is this the terminal stage of a tech startup?
Your entire business model was crushed by payment companies so you pivot in whatever direction you think you can.

Or that crypto is only 12 years old which is really fucking young for a currency.
That's not young at all. How much trouble did people have accepting Euro in 2011?
Arguably scepticism towards the Euro as a currency and Britain wanting nothing to do with it after the crisis was a key pillar of Brexit, so I wouldn’t say it went down amazingly. I remember during the campaign there was a fairly widespread notion that an overly Europhile government like Tony Blair’s might irreversibly commit the UK to the Eurozone, which was always an act that polled terribly.

> If PH is having trouble processing any form of credit card, a smaller company will have no chance at all. We're seeing a sterilization of legitimate porn on the internet, done by legitimate tax paying western companies. It'll be left to whoever can operate beyond those constraints, which is kind of a sad state of affairs for free speech, separation of church and state, and policing in general. Welcome to the "free(…
Wow, this is sooo disingenuous I can not believe it is even being said Aside from the fact that where a metric ton of regulations targeting processing adult content payments under the guide of "protecting the children" There is another metric ton of regulations around creating and operating a payment processing system. There is a reason no competitors to paypal have really emerged. That reason is GOVERNMENT REGULATIO…
How many of those government regulations were written by private companies who lobbied (read bribed) politicians to pass them specifically to keep out competitors? Government regulation is a very important tool, but like any tool it can be abused and used in harmful ways, especially if you don't do anything meaningful to prevent it.

Oh god I can’t believe I’m going to say this. Crypto/Bitcoin, in keeping with the relationship the Internet and adult content have. Congrats Coinbase, Venmo, and others enabling censorship resistant crypto payments on your revenue bump.
But most coins are public ledger. And the "know your customer" exchanges are not allowing privacy protecting coins.

Anyone who does will face the same pressure from payout vendors. No one corporate wants to be actively involved in paying sex workers.
Is this still true? Porn sites seem to have no problems selling ad space, although it may not be to major brands. I suspect that eventually even that will change. How many people are really so put off by human sexuality that they'll refuse to buy a product that advertises on a porn site? How many of those people are going to porn sites to see those ads in the first place? I think that slowly corporations are going to…
The original article in Variety[0] there’s a quote that specifically states “complying with our banks’ and payout vendors’ policies.” as the reason for the change. This seems to allude that the direct payments to the sex workers themselves are what were at-odds with those policies.

I honestly did not know they did anything besides porn. They have a really bad marketing department as I bet most people only know of them via porn (or I run in a slightly more degenerate circle).
Not at all. If someone told anyone I know they have a onlyfans, I can’t think of anyone who would assume anything other than porn
Well I have a page on facebook called Only. Fans.
And it's only fans

Big Porn like onlyfans and pornhub are not being targetted by cc companies because of fraud rates, but because of the weird Christian fundamentalist lobby in America.
Pornhub's live cam service was a white label of the company I worked at. I can tell you pretty definitively that you are wrong.
I don't see how working at a porn company that was white labeled by another porn company gives you detailed insight into the decision making at major credit card companies.
