  Pornhub isn't dependent on the credit card railroads to function as a business; Pornhub/MindGeek is largely ad supported. OnlyFans is subscription based; losing Mastercard/Visa would have ended the platform.

    On the other hand, does OnlyFans have any future beyond adult content? Even if they announce their pivot tomorrow, I can't imagine anyone using it given the history associated with that brand, but rebranding also means essentially starting from scratch in a market with existing competition (Patreon, LiberaPay, etc) that already have a critical mass of creators.

      > does OnlyFans have any future beyond adult content? From a development cost perspective, moving into non-adult content would just require a page reskin and a domain name purchase. It would all be advertising.

        Patreon was the goto place, until they decided to reject adult content - which spawned OnlyFans. I doubt OnlyFans can pivot - they'd just be competing with patreon, which i dont think they will win if so. The OnlyFan niche is quite strong, and they would be stupid to pivot now. Case in point - the words "onlyfan" has become a verbage like google has.
