 The thought revolution is about to begin you boys better buckle up, baby You're not like high school or college whatever you always do icebreakers like what's your favorite hobby? What's your favorite this? I always have three things. I have an anaconda Slung around my waist cap my parents never loved me And I love boys Dunking on ethos only fans. Okay, listen, I'm in between a bunch of flights right now I had to get a banger out for you boys. I don't have any pre-recorded content But I want to make sure you're still banger and I knew I had to make a video on this everybody knows only fans I don't have to give you a rundown of what only fans is but recently It was all over the news that only fans is banning explicit content. Huh? Well, that doesn't make a lot of sense. That's like twitter banning tweets. That's like youtube banning videos That's like the hub banning sex. It's like if you go and Chick-fil-A they're like, hey, I'm so sorry We ban chicken in all restaurants. There has to be an explanation for this I know ethos are just the human and listen I'm not gonna name drop when my good friends was talking to an only fans thought stupid I call her thought because she cheated on him shocker, buddy. Ooh, that's kind of what I told him either way I feel personally involved in this case now. So I'm excited I just typed only fans ban ready to google here only fans founder blames banks for the band Let's go right here. Let's see what cnn business says to say Why did only fans ban sexually explicit content? It says it's the credit card companies Thursday's decision by the creator platform only fans to soon stop hosting a wide swath of sexually explicit content Is sending shockwaves through the internet only fans a website with 130 million users. That is embarrassing And more than two million so you're telling me 128 million of those people are not the content creators, bro So mad at you guys. I'm kidding. I have fun different accounts So only fans has become synonymous with pornography for many performing on the app is a lifeline some who lost their job Okay, I'm not I'm not here to do a pity party for the ethos. Okay. I'm here to dunk on them Let's skip all that not all of only fans explicit content is going away. Simple nudity will still be allowed Okay, all you simps can rejoice that still exists as long as it complies with the platform's other policies Only content containing sexually explicit conduct sex acts on camera will be banned as said in a statement Okay, so that makes sense I am confused on how this happened though venture capital firms are often wary of investing in platforms that host adult content According to internal documents obtained by axios only fans popularity and revenue both exploded during the pandemic Yet it has struggled to secure outside investment Ooh, wait a second. So only fans is selling out. You know, I respect it, baby Secure that bag only fans only fans literally dunk on their own creators to sell out Do you guys feel like that when I promote range shadow legends one of the greatest mobile rpgs of all time Let's play range shadow legends start Is that how you feel do you feel dunked on here's the difference though is these girls are like These are lively though They're making an absurd amount of money and they were just like not chief I want to venture capital firm to come in and hand me a bag slammed on down the lane poster I don't do that to you guys. Okay. I mean you can still skip that You can also download it using my link Get shut the fuck up. It's funny that it got booming during the pandemic, bro I'm not gonna lie. I do remember when the hub did like a free week of hub premium Me and all the boys were like, yo, let's rip So we had a big sleepover. We all okay Only fans decision is also result of a much wider and concerted crack down in recent years across explicit parts of the internet One driven largely by a group a powerful and increasingly assertive companies the payment processors who behind the scenes handle every Swipe of your credit card whether you're paying for gas buying groceries or yes tipping a performer on only fans Only fans said its decision was driven with a view toward building a sustainable platform for the long term These changes are to comply with their crest of our banking partners payout providers credit card companies are growing increasingly conscious of their own Potential legal exposure mac de mire added if they are accused of facilitating sex trafficking or the spread of child sexual abuse material This is the exact same thing I said about tiktok and they made a huge shift on banning people I'm not saying my video played any factor in that but tiktok did I'd say roughly eight months later Have a massive crackdown. You can get banned like that on tiktok now Which it was needed a year ago and that's a really good point because look I get it I get why you might want somebody's nudes. I was 16 once I definitely might have shelled out a good amount of money for megan fox's nudes But the problem is I probably would have used my mom's credit card for that Which is what I imagine a lot of people are doing here. I'd have been like mom I gotta get some football uniform or something And then all of a sudden my mom catches me with megan fox's news She sees the charge on her credit card. Who does she complain to she can't complain to the company? I bought it from it's not their fault. They're just taking the credit card information My mom would then in that scenario call into visa or amax and say hey Why are you letting my kid purchase pornography? Like why are you allowing that? And that's why your credit card companies are cracking down on only fans. I guess that makes sense I mean, do you really want to be the credit card company for the guy who shelled out? 175 thousand dollars for someone to send them a video of sucking on their own toes or something Oh my gosh. Do you guys remember that story? I told you in a recent video about a small person I want to say midget but I can't because you have to say small person that small person also happened to do Only fans this story isn't saying there's a smoke show baddie ten on ten and she lives with the Small person and I've heard through the grapevine They both do only fans not anymore really get shit on but I've heard through the grapevine that the small person makes like Triple triple what the absolute baddie makes because of like basically like fetishes It weirds me out so bad if I can be totally honest with you But like that's the burden that falls on the credit card companies not only fans problem That's what their platform is for. I guess was for do you really want to be the guy at amex who gets a call from a mom? It's like why did my son just spend 15 thousand dollars on small person porn? I wouldn't want to be the guy on the other end of that call Discover master card visa all announced that they would suspend payments to pornhub pornhub got dunked on too Damn following allegations that the site had hosted child sexual abuse material. Yeah, that's so true Anybody could upload anything to pornhub. How are you gonna like how are you gonna age verify somebody at least in the past In response pornhub script it's site of all videos that weren't produced by verified partners and implemented a verification program Yeah, that's tough for the hub dude. No lie the angle that this article is taking is really interesting to me Let's read this top sentence here The new rules revealed the power of the payments industry to shape how millions of people experience the internet Is that really the way you see it cnn business? I mean, I guess you're right They certainly are shaping how millions of people are experiencing the internet the sentence isn't wrong But the implication is that you don't like how much power the credit card companies have It sounds like the credit card companies are trying to stop miners from having their videos Circulated throughout the internet to pedophiles, which I think is a pretty solid move on their part The financial industry's muscle flexing has drawn criticism from digital rights advocates who argue It's throwing its weight around. Who's a digital rights advocate go outside, bro Very well written article though. I'm really impressed right now Now sex workers are raising their voices again this time to defend their ability to represent themselves on digital platforms like only fans This I have the biggest issue with I actually don't really care if someone's a sex worker I don't have an opinion on that. I see they're making a shit ton of money. So good for them They can secure themselves and their family for the rest of their future if they invest their money right So I think it's a good idea What I don't like is when people bitch so hard about a platform that they build their audience on It's how I feel about all youtubers making fun of youtube all the time. Let me explain So like this sentence here several only fans creators have told cnn business They are frustrated and angry at only fans announcement adding that the decision will cost the creators their livelihoods And networks and could ultimately lead to a decline in only fans own popularity as a platform I don't disagree with the last sentence But the rest of that is just bullshit the equivalent is you have built your house on someone else's land That's what I always say with youtube if tomorrow youtube is like matt you've made so many inappropriate jokes that we're wiping your channel Obviously, I'd be pissed but like it's not like this is my website youtube pays me I'm incredibly grateful to youtube for giving me the platform that I can reach you guys and in reciprocation YouTube appreciates me and that's why they haven't taken my channel down The only fans creators who have said about this you didn't get famous on your own only fans is famous as the conglomeration of horny motherfuckers who will pay you to do dumb shit But it's not costing you your livelihood you built your livelihood on someone else's platform What they choose to do with their platform is they're bidding and if only fans wants to sell out take a gigantic bag from eventual capital firm and you can't Give the glock glock 9 000 not only fans anymore. That's their decision. I'm sorry ethats But I just came down the lane windmill dunked on you buddy You know what I'm telling you this article is well written he or she whoever wrote this says something very similar right here Payment processors are well within their rights to determine what transactions they will and won't support on their networks in that respect They are not that different from platforms such as facebook and twitter who are massively powerful in their own right I mean it makes sense facebook and twitter just eat shit all the time and keep in mind A lot of explicit content is still allowed on only fans. You just can't literally have sex Like i'm sorry. You thought to take one day without getting piped. You're gonna have to i'm sorry Wants to see changes made to section 230 that could expose platforms to more liability under certain circumstances Perhaps she said those changes might even allow sex workers who feel their businesses have been harmed by payment processors to sue them for Tortuous interference. We're talking about only fans where we're seeing sex workers do safe work It's from their own homes. They're making content on their own terms Okay, I know i'm cherry picking a little bit because that that sentence has to be out of context since I can't see any more Context than what's written here, but it's not about the sex workers. Anybody can do whatever they want in their own home That's not what's in question here It's whether you can post it to an online platform and somebody anybody with a credit card can buy it I mean based on this sentence if a minor wanted to have sex from their own home and it was safe It would be okay, and then me like an 80 year old pedophile could buy it That's cherry picking a little bit, but it just really well written article here from cnn business brian fung brian Prospect baller only fans founder blames banks for porn ban. Yeah, he's got to be more pissed than anybody He probably had unlimited access to everybody's everything only fans founder and chief executive tim stokely He looks exactly like what I thought the founder of only fans would look like and i'm not even clowning in this Just exactly what I picture the guy looking like tell me that guy doesn't look absurdly horny The uk company has faced criticism for abandoning the adult performers who helped attract It's roughly 130 million users as well as skepticism as to whether it can prosper under new rules that ban sex act They'll permit nudity. I feel bad, bro I don't necessarily feel bad that they banned it because I think it should have been banned But they really waited until they got so famous and then made it. It's like you knew What could have gone wrong two years ago one year ago, whatever, but only fans wasn't popping like this Now it's popping and they're like we might want to crack down on what just got us famous You know this kind of reminds me of like in a very low key sense is vine I know some of you are closer to my age and I know some of you are younger Seems to be like a 5050 split when I meet you guys in real life But vine was tick tock way before tick tock was tick tock tick tock's a lot better Many more features ways to use all that but vine was like the most popular app ever Everybody's talking about vine and then within the span of two three years. It just I don't even know what happened I don't know if they got bought out or just got deleted from the app store I have no idea what happened. It was gone and there's this massive void for like four or five years Everybody wanted that short form content that re-addicting shit like what tick tock is and then tick tock comes out It blows up this cycle repeats if only fans goes down in a burning fire for this There's gonna be a gap until somebody comes in and there's gonna be a brand new only fan I'm telling you bro. All right. That's it for today's video I don't really know why I wanted to make this video so bad, but I do like making this style of content I hope you guys enjoy it too. I know this isn't your regular scheduled gaming content But we'll get right back to it tomorrow's willa 2k after that I got mad in 22 video And we'll figure it out from there plus mmg live is coming up real soon. All right. I love you boys Thank you for watching as always. I will see you in the next video. Peace out
