    My company uses an Israeli bank (because why wouldn't you) and about 20 countries therefore have to send us funds via some kind of back channel as they refuse to deal with the cunning Jew. I always find it hilarious that they won't deal with a certain bank for that reason, but all actual crimes committed by all the other banks are A-OK.

    The best thing about this Onlyfans news from a local angle is a couple from my home town have just been exposed as selling videos of themselves on it, the girl wearing massive strap ons and abusing the fella with them. Sure they'll be glad they have had the double whammy of infamy coupled with their business model crumbling in the same month

    BANKING can be added to the list of things that Kik's will always trust then....

    This makes no sense to me at all. It'd be similar to Tim Martin saying 'alcohol causes problems in society, so on 1st October we're going to remove all alcohol from all of our 925 pubs'.

    Maybe the OF's owners have already trousered enough money not to care, but I can't see how their platform will go any way other than that Play.com on the back of this.

    It does seem a strange decision and I allowed myself a little chuckle at BIGBANKING being above porn money.

    I assume the adult industry makes a reasonable amount of money, they must put it in a bank at some point.

    It does seem an odd move but if it opens up the range of people willing to buy it then it just might. The modern tactic is to demonstrate a service is profitable then flog it to a sovereign wealth fund, which is more likely if it's not stuffed with porn.

    Unless you're telling me that Pornhub etc. and the major porn studios are genuinely keeping all of their money under mattresses and you have proof of such, I don't care where you work - the porn industry will manage its money through banks like everyone else does.

    I would respectfully suggest that you need to be less trusting of what you're told or what you see on face value.

    You can send him a tip but you'll have to put it through his letterbox because he's not allowed a bank account.

    The difference is probably down to payment processing between users rather than just being able to open an account at your local Barclays. Still doesn't seem like it should be an insurmountable problem or Mahow would be a whole lot richer.

    It's down to the organisations risk appetite when it comes to having this sort of business on the books.I doubt pornhub banks with a major US bank.

    And on the list line, respectfully fuck off. I work for a bank, I know the type of customers we have and the procedures and KYC processes we have to go through.

    Businesses see the user base and move from there. I don't agree with it, but I'm fairly sure Tumblr was a place for perverts before Yahoo took it over.

    Yeah, they want to move into more respectable content lines, i.e. singers posting shit and whatever else, possibly in order to sell it to some other twats, which you can't do if you're known as the grumble app.

    Banks can fuck off as well. Private ones can do what they want; but if you expect the taxpayer to backstop you and bail you out when necessary, your services should be available to anybody doing anything that you can't prove to be illegal.

    Yes, yes - thinking that it is inconceivable that major financial institutions could cut off funding / services to Only Fans is silly when Visa and MasterCard shut off access to Pornhub in December 2020 over how videos were posted.

    If you want to read more:
    https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn...hub/index.html

    And is there any such potential issue with Only Fans? Here is a BBC report clearly showing this moves comes in the dead zone between outlets getting internal documents but before the stories are out:

    I briefly considered it too when I found a 4 bed house for about Ł12.50. Sadly, there's a reason. There's also a reason they created the worlds first Covid VARIANT.

    Hepworth Gallery. Something about rhubarb. Pie shop. Don't see how we can lose, to be honest.

    This Sporting Life. The National Coal Mining Museum. John Harrison the clockmaker. You could claim Henry Moore and the people making the decision wouldn't know any better. It probably has the least ethnics of any city in the region as well, so the White Rose gimmick writes itself.

    “I have paid that company thousands and thousands of dollars over the last year and a half, and they’ve never promoted me or contacted me to say thank you,” she said.

    Gracie doesn’t know what to make of OnlyFans’s latest decision. Despite reading about the new policy, she’s yet to be contacted by the company directly or find anything on OnlyFans’s website to explain the change.

    The changes, which were widely discussed on social media on Friday, are being put in place because of mounting pressure from banking partners and payment providers, according to the company. They come as OnlyFans tries to raise money from outside investors at a valuation of more than $US1 billion ($1.4 billion).

    Gracie says it’s a poor business decision. “You’d think we’d receive an email at least. Is that anyway to treat the people responsible for your success?”

    Like many other OnlyFans creators, Gracie began using the platform because it was safe, risk-free and enabled her to control all elements of the business.

    In her opinion, the platform should consider other revenue forms like cryptocurrency instead of kowtowing to banks, “while we pay OnlyFans a percentage, it’s us in control. To take that away from us for a banks’ approval seems like a misstep”, she said

    Isn't that the thing every content creator moans about? Check your emails for "Changes to Terms and Conditions" silly. And 'responsible for your success' is a bit rich when the money floating around that system is all crowdfunded. The service doesn't owe you anything.

    If it's all about the creators then they should find it relatively simple to set up a website and carry on as they were.

    Now I think about it, those most pleased with this change will probably be ManyVids and then the porn industry itself.
