  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.

      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.

    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.
