No porn! Only fans!
Ripplingtwinkie
LOL ngl, I really thought it was just for porn.
GoGoGadgetBinoculars
it's not?
lasertag2000
remember when tumblr was bought for 1.1 billion and they banned porn and then resold for 3 million which is a 99.7% reduction of price

For every cat posts this evening there's 2 OnlyFans. Interesting.

I'm not saying their death is certain, but its going to take a SERIOUS PR/marketing/rebranding push to show "we're more than porn"
saysomethingcool
And several years, if they last that long!

Is Tumblr still around?
huffdogg
Yes. Theee are ways around their porn blocker but they are fickle and arcane
SageOfDepth
Somebody tried to make newTumbl as an alternative but it never really caught on

No, but surprisingly Imgur is.
TitledEel
It's in a twilight, but yeah, it's still around and new stuff being posted
EdmondAlmond
Its funny to think it used to be a rival to 4chan.

What's the business reason for of in doing this?
EccentricNut
Money, they're having a hard time attracting reputable investors because they think it's just a "pron" site
rebelhead
So what's their future business model? Creators who attract subscribers? What kind of creators?
davebeastly
I'm guessing they're trying to lean towards somethijg like Patreon.

Risk of losing banking and payment services.

A rare case where I can see crypto potentially being useful as an actual currency.

Are there not payment services that cater to porn companies? Like, paying for porn isn't a unique concept. It's been around.
UnattendedDeviant
Might be cost prohibitive for a site that's not strictly hard-core. Probably cost more per transaction. So they have to pay the service...
UnattendedDeviant
...more per normal purchases if they went with a such a service. Idk but if a website couldn't get the normal payment setivces because...
UnattendedDeviant
...they're hardcore, I charged more to provide that service to them because they have fewer options to turn to.
