Looks like they reversed their decision.

Last week, OnlyFans made the very questionable move to ban users from uploading "any sexually explicit content." The new rule was supposed to start on October 1. It made no sense; barely anyone uses OnlyFans for anything other than porn. And for sex workers who used the service, OnlyFans provided financial security, so the decision felt like slap in the face to those who've made the platform so successful in the first place. It was also one of the few safe spaces where sex workers could share whatever content they wanted and set their own prices for a subscription.

After receiving immense backlash, the site reversed its decision. OnlyFans shared a statement on social media on Wednesday morning, that reads:

Thank you to everyone for making your voices heard. We have secured assurances necessary to support our diverse creator community and have suspended the planned October 1 policy change. OnlyFans stands for inclusion and we will continue to provide a home for all creators. An official communication to creators will be emailed shortly.

Does it say how they will deal with CC companies not processing payments for them anymore?

Good. I felt like onlyfans was a very positive step in how sex work um...worked. I feel like having the performers have easy access to the consumer and be able to personally profit was excellent.

I hope that onlyfans finds more effective ways of keeping underage people off the site.

Speaking of which, New Coke Zero also sucks.

I do wonder whether the damage is done and people on there are already looking for alternatives/startups are more encouraged and funded to try and do the same thing better.
