Corporations have been running in fear from the mountain of lawsuits against PornHub for several months now. The end of adult sales on eBay (though some sellers still have some inventory), the end of Vivid Radio from SiriusXM, and now the end of OnlyFans.

Sure, there’s a lot of smaller players to go to, but for how long? The bigger names are going to take a huge pay cut as they try to coalesce around one or two sites in order to gain network effects. But, who owns whatever site seems to be the winner? Some are known, others are not.

That was the problem with OnlyFans: Axios linked OnlyFans to a Russian criminal, who I’m sure let Putin in on some of the action. Does the industry think that figuratively getting in bed with such a figure was going to turn out well? Did anyone do any due diligence before putting all of their eggs in the OnlyFans basket?

This character’s, Leonid Radvinsky’s, prior business was running web sites to give out free passwords to adult sites. Axios was also able to get some revenue data that OnlyFans was showing to potential investors (because they needed to buy Radvinsky out of the organization, for whatever reason), and the numbers weren’t as rosy as had been reported elsewhere. For example, OnlyFans was telling the media that creators have earned $4.5 billion during the site’s existence; they told potential investors $3.2 billion…what’s the real number?

Plus, The New York Times, for all intents & purposes, reported that this was happening all the way back on May 18th. The more you look into this story, the deeper the political intrigue (the Biden administration cutting off funds to Putin?) and the more complex it gets.

The Good news is talent agents will have far more time and find it a necessity to get talents who looks like they should be in front of a camera performing more scenes ASAP
I feel badly for those who are not being offered scenes now. All the big names girls will go to sets.
Those are smart about it will regain some of their income but not like before, and that’s the bigger names. Not even uploading and every platform known at this time will command the results as OF. Starter ups copy cats don’t have the inter net traffic command of Porn Hub, Not even loyal fans who is proli the best bet. We wont even know for many many months.

The industry should be thinking,  Why now Visa and Master card is so gun hoe or alarmed in the first place .
NOW. ?? Really
Processing payments is what they do and porn was already content that was ok to accept and process payments for decades. What gives now. 
Let’s bet this, The root cause NOW are those few in porn cranking out extreme content, and then others come up with antics outdoing the last , IE,  Content Outdoors in pubic, pissing/ defecating all over each other, sex in kiddie parks and public areas and using the payment aspect on Only Fans and others for “hookery escort” antics . We all know who the usual suspects are.
Hell, days ago one asshole had several village idiots defending “scat orgies” posting shitting all over each other. So disgusting that blogs and news outlets won’t touch the subject, one had the courage to just hint about it.. , some were posting “felching” on Twitter with link backs to their OF. 
A  few months ago another threatened to release posting his collection of his pitbull in action with people. Had the Balls to push for his dog getting a GOAT AVN hall of frame award as a performer.. lol  The dog died, proli got a STD.
So yeah platforms will eventually miss filtering out at least one extreme smut illegal content matter, You bet this is a beacon for the Right Wing  “Non-Profit” claiming to be a religious type and just run with it, while just out for a payday, then slamming Visa and Mastercard while blaming the platforms.  Visa and master card will react and has. Some bone head from porn tinsel town will be the culprit who ruins porn. ……Shit heads …
No offense to Shit and Head.
