Me, I never understood the whole "only fans" thing...is/was it for housewives to make a bit of $$$ doing freelance nudes/pron?
Pretty much. It was also a great way to show your freaky side while lowering your risk of exposure.

not gonna happen.


IDK .... Coke thought a "new" flavor formula was a good idea back in the day so anything's possible no matter how shortsighted/dumb.

Would these people apparently destroying their own business model with "policy" really surprise you much?

most people dont know this but Coca Cola changes their formula every few years without telling anyone.
The coke classic you bought in the 80's is not the same as what you buy today. and since they dont make a big deal about it, no one seems to notice.

Lol Coke. Aka a lesson in how to get people to gulp down phosphoric acid without knowing it.
Sugar make all things palatable. Maybe even feces.

I'm only covering the wisdom of the business/marketing decision not how smart it is to drink cans of sweet-tasting battery acid for pleasure!

this explains a bit more in detail
Yeah, that doesn't hold water and sounds like a bunch of Twitter BS.

They are allowing nudes, but not sexual activity. Fine. But you think they are changing their entire system and annoying ALL customers across the board, rather than just not allow MasterCard as a payment method and keeping the 50-75%+ (guestimate) customers who use Visa/Amex/Discover?

Just because some Twitter account says it, doesn't mean it's true.

Since I tend to avoid including sugary poison in my diet I really wouldn't know.... I had a can of Coke last week @ a Mets game in lieu of a beer but before that I can't remember the last time I tasted one.

Agreed. Would save a lot of time just to shut her down in the first place since that would almost certainly be the end-result.

I've seen some news articles on this on FB and in the comments are your usual dbags just dragging on all the women that will not be able to make money off of OF and just tearing them down like they are subhuman.

People are just nasty.

Reminds me of the retarded FOSTA law morons responsible for removing all sexual content from Craigslist etc.

All about catching sex-traffickers my a$$.... all that law did was hurt sex workers and HELP the bad people that ACTUALLY DO traffic in selling minors hide from sight. (Just like with weed ... LEGALIZE, TAX and most importantly REGULATE to keep workers safe!)

All that bull$hit was about was forcing other folks morals down everyone's throats and HARM was ALL IT CAUSED.

And people wonder why the "majority" of so-called "Christians" end up being as hated as they are.

What's the most likely platform to benefit from OnlyFans shooting themselves in the foot? Who are the most likely successors?

eh ok, it could happen. But even if it does ..

see, the OnlyFans press release *implies* that they are going to ban porn because this choice is PROFITABLE BUSINESS-WISE. And THAT, my friend, is not gonna happen.
What might happen is that when the date comes, they will add adult filters, or a opt-in choice, or a $1 age verification check, or idk, something stupid along these lines that changes nothing.

Let's first consider that the UK wanted to ban free access to porn. The GOVERNMENT made official press statements that "by date Xx, nobdoy will be able to access porn without using a credit card first" and then they saw that it was practically impossible to implement because a machine-description of what porn *is* does not exist, and also there is a huge damnd for porn, and considering that it is a revenue-generating vice, the amount of social harm is minimal, compared to practically anything else = smoking, drinking, drugs. (and also nobody actually believes that 14yo kids do not want to see porn)

So it just went away. Nobody mentioned it anymore and it just disappeared as if nothing had happened.

Also, OnlyFans banning porn can mean anything. Banning penetration? Banning full nudity? It can also mean banning "promoting as porn", i mean, YouTube bans porn, but ..

i don't want to get a ban so i will not post a link, but it took me less than 5 seconds to find a video that is literally a spread out, fully nude and fully visible vagina getting waxed, ON YOUTUBE, because "it's not porn". It's "educational".

The only thing taht remains is OnlyFans banning porn fully, because of some weird belief that the ethics of their platform are being misused, sort of what Twitch has pathetically and inefficiently tried doing, thinking that their IP will improve in value once the content on their platform goes in line with the ethics behind the brand.

They could do this and completely crash & burn, but likely it's not gonna happen.

They probably did an initial case study and the result was "we must ban porn" after which they put out a press release, used the feedback to that to do a projection, and now are considering how to get from point A (where they are now) to point B ("banning porn") WITHOUT ACTUALLY BANNING PORN.

Keep in mind that OnlyFans is just the marketplace; the vendors have zero problem shifting en-masse to another platform, and i'm sure there are already other platform owners praying to the virgin mary that OnlyFans commits this colossal blunder.

of course doesn't mean it's true. But it's a likely explanation. I can't think of a more plausible explanation on why OnlyFans would do this to themselves willingly.
