Did OnlyFans pull the greatest Marketing Campaign ever?

OnlyFans got everyone talking about the company for a whole week, millions of dollars worth of free advertising just to reverse the ''No sexually explicit content'' policy today.


If this was the intention, K-U-D-O-S!

No marketing, mayo isn't an MQL
If they were being squeezed by the payment providers, it will be interesting to see who steps in to fill the hole.ย

Phrasing!
But yes I concur. I would have loved to be a fly on the wall of their office this week. Surely they planned this maneuver, or perhaps they needed a few days to realize they were about to sink their company by making the proposed change.

Based on the statement they released I believe they had a massive "oh we done fucked up" moment, went back to their payment providers and basically said we gotta make this shit work or we are all leaving a gross amount of money on the table.ย

Yeah, they were too defensive about how they'd diversified for it not to have been a legitimate direction choice at the time.ย

As far as i remember they already existed prior to Tumblr doing the same thing and they got most of the power vacuum, and the nudity is staying as far as I know, just heard Shultz on Flagrant 2 talk about it.ย

They are either going public or selling out and at the same time, they are making sure they are able to have bank transactions without being sued so they don't get persecuted for supporting sex workers, that's how I see it with nothing to back it up hahahahaha pure speculation.

If I feel that someoneโ€™s actions put my Heath in jeopardy, then I think it definitely warrants a discussion but I would talk to them first. If that does not change, I would bring it up with your manager but not mention them directly at first. โ€œIt has comw Up that some of the team is not vaccinated and I donโ€™t feel comfortable coming in, can I work from home?โ€

If you can get vaccinated, it's your responsibility to protect those around you by getting vaccinated.
