Maybe not right now, but when shareholders start demanding action over NSFW subs or subs that discuss illegal activities or subs that discuss the evils of capitalism or subs that just aren't profitable and those subs start getting shuttered, then they will.

Reminds me of Youtube. Guns and drugs, don’t make advertiser friendly videos, and that’s why the platform only barely tolerates those videos. From the predictive of YT, they demand resources without giving any direct revenue. I can see the reason why those channels tend struggle so much.

And when they do, I expect Fansly to drop a platform just for these users.
