Pornhub, a few years ago, wasn't this strict. It was a hotbed for revenge porn. Because it's now cleaned up, because it had to, doesn't mean companies like Visa and Mastercard have to come back and work with it.

I love that it looks identical to Twitter but is orange. I love that it's going to enrage Elon. He's going to realize that he paid 44 billion for something that's going to lose users to Substack's side project.
