https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-08-19/onlyfans-to-block-sexually-explicit-videos-starting-in-october

quote:

OnlyFans is getting out of the pornography business.

Starting in October, the company will prohibit creators from posting material with sexually explicit conduct on its website, which many sex workers use to sell fans explicit content. They’ll still be allowed to put up nude photos and videos, provided they’re consistent with OnlyFans’ policy, the company said Thursday.

[...]

That popularity also brought with it additional scrutiny, and OnlyFans is positioning itself more as a forum for musicians, fitness instructors and chefs than sex workers.

[...]

The changes are needed because of mounting pressure from banking partners and payment providers, according to the company. OnlyFans is trying to raise money from outside investors at a valuation of more than $1 billion.

I don't really understand that "nude photos and videos are allowed" if consistent with their policy, but not sexually explicit ones? Is that like tasteful nudes? Anyway lol @ OnlyFans making the business decision to not allow porn any more. How well did that work out for Tumblr?

It's pornography so there's not going to be much complaint in the media, much like with mindgeek, but it's incredibly dodgy how much power the banking industry / payment providers have to censor the internet. Completely unaccountable to the public and able to shut down something as popular as porn.

Nowadays there is a lot more money to be made by hooking up with investors rather than producing any sort of product or service, so in that sense they are very on point.

before reading the article, i figured "its probably credit card processing" and sure enough it says that in the article.

apparently, that's an issue for porn sites; banks check up on them and if they don't agree with their content (slave/bdsm/scat, what have you), then they'll cancel ties with you.

i vaguely remember a scene from that James Franco documentary about Kink.com. something about them complaining about the billing system and content.

the onlyfans issue is probably a continuation from the pornhub issue: community driven storefronts that decide to post whatever their individual storefront fans want turnd into "the wild west of content", bringing on some unsightly poo poo (pun intended).

i know kink had some issues and has to downsize and leave 'the armory' but they still don't accept Bitcoin, while other similar community storefront sites like manyvids do accept Bitcoin. and credit cards, still. possibly even the OG sure if this kind, clips4sale, does that, also. they probably change their terms and conditions more often to continue as a marketplace.

also they probably don't mind being considered seedy and not as mainstream as onlyfans has became.

considering how onlyfans wants to go for a patreon clone makeover in the name of getting more seed money or whatever, they'll probably just fall into obscurity in the next 5 years.

hell, even YouTube channels now have the option to have "membership only" content. no need for onlyfans premium content if nudity isn't even allowed. just use YouTube or Patreon instead.

also, most these onlyfans models probably make bank off premium Snapchat accounts as secondary income, anyhow.

back in 2002 or so i had lived with a roommate that was a cable guy, and we got like 3 porn channels; well, one was playboy.
like only 1 channel actually had full on porn films uncensored. the other xxx channel would play porn films but during oral scenes the visuals would be cropped. PIV on screen? sure! PIM? no thanks!
also i think the playboy channel did something similar when it would play hardcore porn on the weekend nights; mostly it would only play softcore.

explicit = hardcore "you can see the hairs on his rear end" porn.

Cam site MyFreeCams recently removed a payment processor that was associated with Paypal, so there's definitely contemporary pressure from processors for that sort of thing.

The public/Twitter has latched onto the investor narrative, and that's borne out by recent articles (https://www.axios.com/onlyfans-investors-struggle-9cc92523-6607-40ad-9893-4175e7966b52.html) but I agree. I can't see the owners willfully cutting themselves off from revenue for what is the site's main draw.

that's also a reason why certain cam sites like chaturbate have terms and restrictions like "you can insert sex toys in your vagine, but not household items not meant to be sex toys" although there's definitely cammers that don't pay attention to that, etc.

i had a friend who used to go in to chaturbate rooms and ask the lady questions about her 401k/retirement plan/etc. and it was amazing how often they'd lose track of whatever they were doing and start talking about it

Nobody has seen the new TOS yet, either. It may be that creators can still sell hardcore in pay-per-view content that's sent privately.

I imagine it's probably equivalent to the line in the sand on Japanese porn. You can show a dick, you can show a pussy, you can show an rear end in a top hat, but you can't show a dick going into anything or anything going into a pussy or rear end in a top hat without it being pixelated.

So OF is going from Hustler to Playboy. Seems like a dumb idea if they plan on retaining creators and subscribers. Something will take its place in a matter of days, if something isn't gaining traction to do so already.
