fun hater posted:the change to onlyfans' policies comes as a result of the campaign exodus cry, an anti-sex charismatic christian organization, waged on porntube that resulted in credit card companies cutting mindgeek's revenue source. payment processors are notoriously and openly unwilling to work with platforms that host adult media either as a result of personal company policy or because of sesta/fosta. this insane conspiracy theory where people just assume they are throwing away a website that literally prints money for absolutely no reason makes no sense if you think about it for a second lol How exactly does this Christian group exerts pressure? Like apparently the influences MasterCard, I just wonder what exactly did they do?

iirc the pornhub thing was like, a petition to shut down porn hub that got like 2 million signatures which then lead to this article getting posted in the opinion section of the NY times https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/04/opinion/sunday/pornhub-rape-trafficking.html which was enough bad publicity that mastercard and visa cut services.

e X posted:How exactly does this Christian group exerts pressure? Like apparently the influences MasterCard, I just wonder what exactly did they do? They get a lot of free media attention by always claiming everything is sexual abuse or human trafficking and have deep pockets from fundie supporters. Politicians don't want to object to it because they're worried about being smeared as pro-sex slavery. With all the Qanon Adenochrome baby eating propoganda it's such a popular smear that no one wants to go "you moralizing assholes are hurting real people" because sex work/workers are still considered acceptable targets for scorn, derision, and public humiliation. Like, the reality is complex, but in general SOESTA and FOESTA were a problem for law enforcement because they lost a ton of sources of information for busting sex criminals, especially the customers. It was a huge problem for the sex workers because it pushed them onto more unreliable and sketchy sites and made it harder to do business in any safe manner. The online payment processors also get the final say, and that's basically a monopoly of the big 3/4 who all agree to do the same thing for sex services and sex sites. Even for regular banking it's a problem as adult actors and sex workers have said banks have closed out their accounts and shut down business lines of credit when they find out it's for a sex business, even a legal one.

volts5000 posted:Pat Finnerty put out another "What Makes This Song Stink" about Train's "Hey Soul Sister". Yes, he does call out the "I'm so gangsta. I'm so thug" and "untrimmed chest" lyrics. It ends with a great cover of Ini Kamoze's "Here Comes the Hotstepper". I finally got to watch this and it's really good. You have to let go of the idea that it's actually going to analyze the song and why it's bad. It's a song analysis video in the same sense that Space Ghost Coast To Coast is a late-night talk show. He does get in a few good jabs at the song, but mostly it's not about that, it's just an absurdist comedy piece that blurs the lines between video essay, documentary, and mockumentary.

Srice posted:The people running Onlyfans are definitely looking for that short term gain. It's dumb if you think about it from a long term perspective where they could make made a fortune for years and years for almost no effort, but it makes perfect sense if you think about it from the perspective of someone who just wants a guaranteed big payout asap when they get more venture capital and/or get bought out by some big corporation. Real lovely for the folks currently making a living for the site though! It's really not this time; They've apparently got ChexSystems looking over their shoulder as well as Visa/Mastercard, and if ChexSystems decide to ban you you don't get to have an American bank account ever again. There's not a lot you can do against that.

yeah the reality is this isnt because of onlyfans wanting investorcash its because mastercard/visa/etc are playing morality police. same reason pornhub slashed and burned 99% of the content on their site.TheFlyingLlama posted:officially they're just banning "explicit sexual content" and not nudes. Practically this is probably going to mean "we reserve the right to bring down anyone's channel that we want, but celebrities can still make bank selling softcore".

Endorph posted:the 'child porn crackdown' and the revenge porn/bot crackdown on pornhub were pushed by the same interest groups using those things as cover to make porn illegal I think it's completely disingenious to just sidestep the fact that they didn't do poo poo about the literally criminal content on their websites for years.

And substantially moreso to pretend that puritanical crusaders give the slightest iota of a poo poo about that when crafting laws that barely address that content but are very, very good at taking a sledge hammer to legitimate, consensual sexual work. There’s a thousand ways to tackle that problem and it’s telling when the one with maximum collateral damage is what is used.

Credit card companies aren't being prudes when they block payments for porn. Its because porn is notorious for having a lot of chargebacks, and its a giant hassle for them to deal with.

There is no reason to block porn outright when you can just make them pay more to cover the expenses.

The point is that blocking payment to porn sites have nothing to do with chargebacks, since that just leads to higher processing fees. Porn sites have always paid more to payment processors to cover chargeback risks. Blocking payment entirely is a recent development.

The only time chargebacks were actually oppressive enough to force a business change was in Diablo 3's real money auction house of all things. It alone accounted for 95% of all chargebacks across all US credit cards during the time it was active. Porn is not even remotely comparable.

KingKalamari posted:The number of platforms increasingly cracking down on NSFW content, coupled with increasingly stringent laws targeting online porn, is having an increasingly negative effect on independent content creators and self-employed sex workers. It's both a definite push by anti-porn and conservative Christian groups to harm creators of NSFW content and is also a strategy that much more directly harms small content producers (Who, in my own experience are ones much more likely to be abiding by consent ethics as they're typically only sharing content of themselves or of their own creation) over larger porn companies. Who cares about what conservative christian groups have to say anymore?

I’d believe your stance if the previous three episodes also spent very little time discussing why that episode’s song stunk. I like this guy’s videos but I found he got carried away with all of his gags to the point where he forgot about the main topic of his video was. I still laughed and had fun watching it but I was disappointed that there were very little critique about the song.
