It’s always weird seeing the pomplemoose/scary pockets keyboardist weighing in as a CEO. I genuinely like patreon since artists have been screwed by labels for decades and it represents an alternative,

TIL. That's nuts.

This is what crypto could be for.

I’ll never forgive the techbros for fucking over crypto so hard. You’re absolutely right that examples like these are a great reason why payment systems not bound by nations or corporations are good and important, but nobody is going to care anymore because they just see crypto as a scam.

Eh, not really. Technologies cannot fix sociatal problems. Either you have no possibility of regulations/controls on payments, then people will buy CSAM with it. Or you have some form of control and who ever is in power can try shit like this 🤷
True democratic control might be best, but even then a majority could still oppose niche stuff for silly reasons.

Trouble is, cash you can e-mail became a wiggly line going up, so people bet on it and ruined everything.
Proper cryptocurrency would constantly lose value and be a hot potato people seek to get rid of. Readily available - valuable through exchange - aggressively encouraging that exchange.

Honestly payment processors shouldn’t be able to do this but an alternative would be host it and take crypto ( I’m not a crypto fanboy)
If you can’t host it then use torrents because these kinda games aren’t exactly hard to crack.

No, his music is ass

Yeah, fuck the payment processors.
They don’t bat an eye at OnlyFans but turn their nose up to smaller fish? Yeah, they have no leg to stand on.

You’re wrong about onlyfans not being censored, it absolutely is being censored by the payment processors.
brucethemoose@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Are they?
They seem to accept credit cards. And: www.usatoday.com/story/money/2025/…/77932811007/
I’ve heard of the payment processors trying to dictate what isn’t and isn’t allowed on OF, which is of course scummy. But I really think they’re having their cake and eating it here.
