OnlyFans Safe For Work?

Plans in October are coming as OnlyFans is stopping with adult content. The site has been around since late 2016 and has been known for that type of stuff. A few years ago, Tumblr stopped with their adult content. I remember that because I also remember reading about the Trump administration trying to stop sex trafficking. Other places like Craigslist stopped with relationship seeking. Why the sudden need to not allow it?

Potentially to be taken seriously, I guess. It's not even a religious type of issue. Adult content is not something billions of people are into. There are some, but not to the level that I think others believe it is. Not to mention the stigma associated with it. While I wouldn't say it's extremely harmful though I see more negatives than positives, pornography is not normal and never has been. It is not exactly healthy, either. Yet, people flip out. The vocal minority. Sex workers having to find other venues to make money. That's also another issue in regards to adult content. How many of these people are of legal age? 

I'm not saying the majority of these workers are underage, but you have to take things into consideration. This isn't something to take lightly. Like I said, the attempt to stop sex trafficking was a big deal a few years ago. It's why some websites stopped offering certain features in fear of misusing said feature. In the case of OnlyFans if they are looking to be taken serious, businesses and companies don't want to be associated with lewd content. There was an episode of Bar Rescue from 2015 where a particular bar had a couch that was used to shoot porn. That's a big turn off. I know it's apples and oranges, but still.

More than likely, there will be another site that will provide that niche content. If the Tumblr numbers are anything to go by, OnlyFans will struggle. I'd be willing to say that this will be an endless cycle and these sites and other future websites will keep repeating the same thing over and over.
