Until payment processors stop being awful, this is going to keep happening, companies will want to use sex work to get into vogue then ditch us when they think they have another revenue stream, like OnlyFans' celebrity obsession after the whole Bella Thorne thing, it's less hassle for them to deal with, even if it's a short term gain and long term failure when the clout chasing celebrities go off to the next thing. When a bill is passed about sex trafficking and there's more stuff in it to screw with sex workers than anything..this country is run by people who think sex is dirty and don't want sex workers to exist. All while having extra-marital affairs and diddling teenage girls...

I long to live in a society where sterile puritanical businesses, corporations, investors didn't rule everything with questionable ethical reasoning. I can't get too much farther into it without breaking rules, but you ever notice it's the same types of people making these decisions for everyone?
I really hope all the men and women who were earning a SAFE and fulfilling living can do so somewhere else.

It's like if KFC decided to divest themselves of chicken and biscuits. That's literally what your consumers are there for. KFC here in the Philippines doesn't have biscuits, and that kinda makes me sad.

Well, there goes the 1 dollar short of minimum payout I made during the first Lockdown...
And yeah that kinda thing is my only actual complaint about OF. There's only like 1.2% of people on there even hitting minimum wage but there's people acting like we all bought our first house over it.

It's always "let the free market decide" until said market wants something the powers that be don't like.

I'm absolutely convinced of that.

KFC here in the Philippines doesn't have biscuits, and that kinda makes me sad. A few years ago, my dad in the Philippines visited a KFC and they didn't even have mashed potatoes.

Well, they've emailed creators with the new TOS, and safe to say the rumours were true, and it's the most puritanical of bullshit, and the site is 100% dead.

The language in the new TOS is just vague enough to cover not doing a damn thing when anything in a gray area ends up banished to Botville.

This will never stop because there is a negative stigma around sex work in America. So basically as soon as you're worried about investors or shareholders no one wants anything to do with you cause "bad PR" But that’s just it: while overall, yes, there has long been a stigma about, that’s slowly but surely changing. I don’t know if it’s a majority, but from what I’ve seen, there is substantially more people willing to speak out against the stigma and defend sex workers. Certainly more than there was just 10-15 years ago. OnlyFans is going in the opposite direction of the cultural trajectory, it seems.

So basically they got rid of the one thing that the site was best known for and profitable at that to appease investors who want money but not what was actually making them money.
I swear modern businesses are run by some of the stupidest motherf***ers...

Just go to a different site, its not hard. It kinda is though if you're a content creator who has spent years building an audience. How many of your subscribers will follow you to a new site, assuming you can find a suitable one before October 1st? There's alternatives, sure, but a lot of them are shady as f***, while others take a much bigger cut of the earnings than OnlyFans.

Just go to a different site, its not hard. That's like telling Youtubers to "just use a different video site". What good alternatives are there?
