"Hey guys, you know the thing that the brings in 99% of our users? Let's ban that shit."

Cos that worked out so well for Tumblr.

Update: OnlyFans Backpedals Decision To Ban Sexually Explicit Content ‘Cause Obviously Sex Sells (yahoo.com)

Twitch and OnlyFans going backwards. Funny.

What else is there in OnlyFans aside from sexual content, btw? It feels like you're removing all the car stuff from Auto Zone, for not finding a better analogy.

I think I read that nudity is still allowed. But the pornography is being banned because of the risk with minors involved.

Sucks for all the people who made a living through the platform though. In my opinion something like this should be suable and winnable, but not likely.

Dumbest decision in the history of dumb decisions. How's a girl going to get that gold-plated ps5 now?

Why is people complaining? I though pornography was misogynism and objectified women...
This is a good thing, the less porn in society the better.
I wonde rin which point society will start seriously discussing the amount of people that are addicted to porn and in the process creating problems in their lives and relationships.

It's like if basketball banned dunking or baseball banned home runs.
Getting rid of your biggest draw? Completely asinine.

So they're destroying most of the site's content and most of its revenue. Interesting, very interesting.

I'm sure something will take its place. Its a ridiculous decision, not sure what kind of pressure can lead you to drop the source of like 99% of your revenue. Might as well just sell the company (?).

While this is a very dumb decision that will probably result in their bankruptcy, this continues to show how much power payment processing companies have over companies. This was one of the reasons why pornhub banned all user uploaded content as well and why Valve can't just let all the porn games into Steam and instead, have certain ones be censored.

Now I don't know how the payment processor world works but I do think something needs to change otherwise more and more sites will continue to get rid of lewd content. With that being said, OnlyFans is certainly no where near as porn orientated as say pornhub so they probably didn't try hard enough before getting rid of the horny from their site.
