OnlyFans Plans To Ban 'Sexually Explicit' Content And The Internet Is Not Taking it Well

Starting October 1, OnlyFans, the infamous subscription service known for its adult content, will ban all sexually explicit photos and videos in response to pressure from payment processors like Mastercard. The company really ought to thank porn for their rapid success; instead many OnlyFans users whose income depends on the service feel like they've been betrayed. Just another day in the 'creator economy.'

In the past, OnlyFans has unsuccessfully attempted to rebrand itself as a platform for creators who totally don't make porn, and now they're taking the opportunity to force the site into a direction they'd prefer. What will become of OnlyFans' 130 million users? Will they stick around for the, um, cooking shows? The internet seems to think the app has doomed itself. We'll see. In the meantime, here's what people are saying online.
