Members RockHardNYC Posted August 19, 2021 Members Share Posted August 19, 2021 Well, we knew it was only a matter of time. I hope the sex workers saved all that money, because things are going to seriously change now. (I don't have a link. The news is trending all over the place.)

fedssocr Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 some other site will fill the void at least for a little while. I guess OF decided that a small sliver of income was better than no income. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Latbear4blk Posted August 20, 2021 Members Share Posted August 20, 2021 My sources tell me that the news are exaggerating. OnlyFans will make an announcement through their official channels soon. There are going to be changes, but perhaps not so drastic as it is being reported right now. Pause and wait.

As with any crowdsource and unregulated business that is booming, when they threatened existing industry, they are bound to be challenged by authority and forced to make changes. We see similar things with airbnb fight with hotels and craigslist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know the revenue numbers, but the platform is worldwide HUGE. They're based in London. My son tells me there are a lot of women, especially younger women, who have tease sites. They barely show cleavage, but they're raking in millions. The phenomenon is truly amazing. There seem to be millions of straight guys around the globe who are willing to spend lots of money per month simply for the attention of a decent looking girl. Loneliness is quite lucrative. 7 hours ago, Latbear4blk said: My sources tell me that the news are exaggerating. Your sources are wrong. It's a finance issue. They are caught up in needing to borrow money and lenders are concerned about under age sex and sex trafficking laws. There's also the issue of Visa and Mastercard, two financial institutions who want nothing to do with under age pornography and/or sex trafficking. OnlyFans claims they will allow nudity, but they will crack down on illicit sex acts. Me thinks the male hardon is "illicit," so even the tame bating videos will end. No matter who comes along to replace them, the under age/sex trafficking issue will follow. No political party wants to be on the side of child pornography or sex trafficking. When it comes to porn, it's impossible to prove anyone's identity or age. fedssocr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoon Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 I wonder when theyll come after messaging apps like telegram, line etc that is being used for the same purpose of distributing porns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reader Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Perhaps porn is losing a bit of its appeal. After nearly two years of pandemic-driven growth, consumers of remote sex may be coming to realize that it can only end in the time honored--yet ultimately disappointing--solo conclusion. As a friend recently observed, "If I can't touch it, I don't watch it." Lucky 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Riobard Posted August 20, 2021 Members Share Posted August 20, 2021 I think that JustForFans is having orgasms over the prospects of content creators bringing their business over. I believe they take 30% rather than 20%. Guys are starting to message reassuringly on their Twitter accounts where they also link their porn platforms. I imagine that consumers that paid longer subscriptions will see the more X-rated content censored by the creators themselves as the latter organize their transitions.

fedssocr Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 it's not just women who tease. There are plenty of gay guys doing it too. I paid for one month of Lucas Dell's OF. Very disappointing. Apparently there are also some celebrities and pseudo-celebrities who use OF for fan engagement that are not pornographic. But clearly it is a tiny segment of their business. The issue does seem to be visa and MC not wanting to be associated with the business. It seems like proving performer age is easy enough to prove with a government ID. Just like the porn studios have to keep records proving ages, these site can and I suspect that they must. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course that's the corporate response. What else can they say to halt the hemorrhage? The announcement alone sent droves to JustForFans, clicking to check JFF's pricing policy so that sex workers can figure out how much more this social media thing is going to cost them. JustForFans may experience a windfall, but it won't be long before their lawyers will get hounded by the Feds. Whenever sex and loads of money are involved, nothing fun for the consumer lasts very long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njalondon Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 The porn will migrate to onlyfans clones in other countries, instead of one company there will be many. You can't moralise and/or demonetise porn out of existence. vinapu 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
