Seriously annoyed at the amount of in person sex workers suddenly attacking onlyfans because they've just now discovered how insane online sex work is because of US law and banking stigma
they're going to get onlyfans under scrutiny that will only serve to deplatform sex workers
they're going to get onlyfans under scrutiny that will only serve to deplatform sex workers
many of the inherent contradictions in how onlyfans does business (a porn site pretending to not be one, a sex work site kicking off in person sex workers) they have been forced into and there isn't much way around - I've used CCBill on other sites, it's just as bad.
they can't moderate correctly, because moderation was used in court against backpage - not as proof of them trying to cut down on bad content, but "evidence" they were telling people how to post bad content. I don't know a single sex work site that hasn't done this at some point.
Am I ever happy with OF? not really. but they'd be much better served putting their energy into fighting this fight politically, not trying to 'prove' onlyfans is a 'scam', which will only lead to losing yet another platform for niche online workers.
Those of us who have worked offline and online for years have been navigating these contradictions and the enforcement together. Don't want to get banned from a site? you have to research it first, that's the unfortunate state of things. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vuwKN-yuOJDlLiOa8CyCVA8BMpXg7knCZxS8YgFE98Y/edit#gid=0
and some will always be banned for no reason with no recourse - my partner is banned from Slixa for no reason and have never been able to post but that's a site I see cis white girl workers gushing all over. Check out http://liaraslist.org , we're in the middle of a damn war.
I'm seeing these people argue with mods, complain to their own banks (giving them MORE ammunition to deplatform OTHER workers who get onlyfans deposits), make public posts, BRING IN MEDIA, all this insane shit when people online have been working to KEEP THINGS on DL for years
it must feel great and validating to have a newspaper report on your shut down account, but honestly it is NOT what the community needs right now. there is literally no other feed platform with the same traffic, it will take years for people to rebuild elsewhere. please think.
Imagine getting asked to leave a hotel because they figured out you were doing sex work and couldn't plausibly deny it, and your response is to call the media and your bank and tell them all about all the other workers working at the hotel. please just think about it.
Finally, while I really want to see alternatives picking up, right now it's just rediculous to suggest you can make the same amount on AVNStars as on OnlyFans. Compare these site traffic ratings, OF is insanely high and only gaining more every day. it's where the customers are.
