OnlyFans has announced that they're dropping their plan to ban sexually explicit content come the first of October.
All of a sudden, they're trying to change the narrative around their initial decision to ban porn. Of course, they obviously can't afford to lose their most loyal creators. Loyal as in profitable.
For the first time, OnlyFans (seemingly) tried to side with the sex workers so many had accused them of blindsiding; essentially blaming banking and payment services.
Tim Stokely, the founder and CEO of OnlyFans, specifically stated that certain banks had refused service with the OnlyFans platform because of “reputational risk”.
He also denied accusations that the decision to ban porn was made as a way to easily find investors.
Regardless, even with the shocking 180-degree U-turn, the reception has been far from positive.
Understandably, moving forward, OnlyFans is going to have a major trust problem on its hands—with many creators still likely worrying wondering what would stop the platform from potentially doing this again.
Lena the Plug, a creator on the platform, tweeted this:
And personally, my opinion on that echoes her point: DIVERSIFY‼️
Right now, sex workers on OnlyFans are trying to do a very specific dance on shifting grounds.
They just need to diversify and diversify a little more.
On the saltiest side of the twitterverse, a tweet oozing out astronomical amounts of small dick energy caught my eyeballs.

Super prudes and jealous people don't bother me in the slightest, though.
Quite frankly, there are always going to be people actively rooting for your demise—or not even viewing you as a human being.
It's all part of this thing called life.
