This reminded me a whole lot of OnlyFans deciding to ban porn.
Just... stupid.
What uhh... What did they expect people to use it for?
No idea. :D
Conceptually, it's always supposed to have been something akin to Patreon, where creators can be supported by fans via a subscription model. A combination of lax rules around nudity and probably sheer inertia meant that "creators" ended up being pretty much only sex workers. OF then tried to pivot away from that and we all knows how well that went.
