    Credit card companies try to be arbiters of morality, and so they lay heavily on companies like OF, who only exist because sex workers made their platform popular. So many of my friends who are sex workers are constantly in an uphill battle with credit processors because they don't want to handle what are otherwise legitimate business transactions between consenting adults. It's horseshit.

    Tumblr did this same thing a couple years ago and it doesn't seem to have killed them.

    What I heard is that you can still get nekkid, you just can't fuck. Not sure how accurate that is.

    Yahoo bought Tumblr for 1.3 Billion dollars in 2013, After banning porn it was sold to the owners of Wordpress in 2019 for less than 3 million.

    That's about as close to killing something as you can get. :shrug:

    Yup. I've seen the argument that there was illegal content on Onlyfans, but that's a bullshit excuse. There's illegal content on absolutely every website that allows users to upload content, and there always will be.

    Apparently investment bankers in this case, but generally, yeah. Although it’s totally bizarre to me that they need to raise money at all.

    Only in the most literal sense of the word. The site lost a lot of it's activity from where it was, with content creators moving on to Twitter instead, but it's a shell of what it once was.

    Credit card companies- "Titties baaad!! :nono:".

    Also credit card companies- "Stop buying shit and paying it right off, you fucking pussy! :mad: Don't you know the system runs on debt!!?? :mad:"
    "What, a thief stole your card? YES!!! :yes: Run up his debt, thief!! Go, thief go!!! Yaaayyy!! Yay, thief!! You're a real Murcin!! :yes2: :salute: :diablo:".
    "Here, thief, have some more cards in his name, no questions asked!! :pathead: :backhug: :wub:".

    Don't users make $ on only fans? I didn't think users made $ on Tumbler.

    You can get a cash advance on your credit card at any ATM located in a strip club, I'm sure. And at least one NV brothel takes credit cards. I'm reasonably certain that all the other ones do as well.

    Wasn't that the only reason the internet was invented?

    OnlyFans is primarily a platform for people to make money, while people made money on Tumblr, that wasn't its primary purpose.

    All I ever saw on Tumblr was those accounts that offered a limited preview of their content with links to their Patreon if you wanted more content or earlier access, so basically the same sort of promotions you get on Instagram or Twitter.

    Shovel Girl, the girl that got clocked upside the head by a shovel, and the video that went viral is on OnlyFans.

    I was watching some stupid people videos on YouTube, then remembered about shovel girl. Looked for the video on YouTube, but kept getting either news clips and edited videos. Turf to use Google to find the video. The search led me to What's Shovel Girl up to Now?

    WTF is wrong with the people at bitcoin? Just market yourself as the only online payment method that does not police your porn viewing and you will be the only currency online.

    I'd suggest investing in whatever crypto is popular with the porn industry. I know there's SpankCoin, but I think there are others.

    I could see them getting to the point where they need to crack down on illegal materials. I could see the credit card companies making a fuss if there were snuff, rape, or kiddie porn videos on the site. I am talking about stuff that is real and not acted really well. OK, maybe you need to verify better to make sure it is all consensual adult content and viewers. You are getting very close to potentially funding some awful illegal activities if you do not moderate.

    i can also understand a desire to get advertiser cash, and that big advertisers might not be happy with the content and look elsewhere. However, do not crack down on your huge gathering of content creators. You are not going to beat youtube in their game, but you could do some better stuff.

    If you need to expand the market, then expand it for adult content creators of all types, and scap up the ones getting demonetized on youtube. Maybe put your income on a membership basis and start funding some games with adult content too. If you need advertising revenue pitch your own premium content from free content.

    Holy crap I wish I had money to buy up this shit because I would just go full on adult content and steal other people's customers.

    If you're going to throw your money away in crypto, I'm also really good friends with a deposed Nigerian prince who can double your investment.

    PM me for details. Please include your banking information.
