saw an ad for "onlyfans tv" that has a bunch of 'original programming' and i am stunned at how much they are unsatisfied with having an eternal money generating machine. it's like patreon! literally like your platform name is synonymous with the micro-industry you operate! just maintain the service and you're good! money printing!

but no, gotta chase billions, gotta chase the big break, gotta do something to eventually sell out and throw people under the bus in the process

it's so weird. like more than patreon i don't understand with OF why you'd not be content with having that iron of a grip on a thing

Capitalism brainworms of chasing endless growth. Thank the Dodge Brothers and Jack Welch for this.

because the sort of person with enough money to be called a "shareholder" cannot pass the marshmallow test

I assume in this case part of it must be a fear of Mastercard or Visa deciding they can't do payments anymore and being shit out of luck

I mean they try to ban adult content in the a few years back. So who's ever running it never been that smart.

It's wild, isn't it? Like, I dunno, man, if I owned a golden goose that drank from the fountain of youth and laid giant golden eggs in perpetuity forever, I'd just...keep collecting the golden eggs and cashing them out for the rest of my life. Just leave it alone, let it do its thing; the hard work of getting it in the first place is done. MY JOB IS DONE. But noooOOOOoooo, so many companies I've witnessed decapitate their golden geese for no good reason, and the enshitification of all things continues. Senseless. And it just keeps happening! Unreal.
