I see 'new platforms' pop up all the time and they all come with the same song.
Higher payouts. No/Fewer Banned words/content
Chargeback protection. So on.
I get cynical. I'm sorry.
But all end up being somewhere between being naive and a scam.

the first thing we have to look at here is : the law.
it doesn't matter what they promise, it has to be within the laws - and some of these are currently very changeable.

the second is processor fees.
Adult-friendly payment processors usually take between 10-16%
So if you are offering 85/90/95 payout, how are you going to function with (say) 13% going to the processors?
It leaves very little margin for costs of running, Legal, Promo, bandwith

so of course many offering higher payouts rely on the creators to do the traffic and promo generation for them.
which is exhausting.
90% of nothing is always lower than 60-70% of something

thirdly.
your banned words and content. some of this is somewhere between 'the law' and your banks and what processors allow.
Remember banks can pull from processors if the processor is working with non-compliant sites.

different processors work with different rules and the adult ones take more % because they have more work to do with banks etc and are taking more risk
"But patreon pays 95%" - yes, but the nudity allowed on patreon is pretty much art nude. Certainly porn is forbidden.

the less allowed on a site usually indicates the lower level of influence they actually have with the processors they are using.
This is why you get away with fuck all on OnlyFans, but despite the ongoing review, C4S is still more lenient.

A new start up that thinks they can take on the big banks, paypal, etc and win is naive as fuck.
"Oh, but if people got behind the start ups blah blah"
this again is putting the work on the userbase rather than those behind it who are profiting.

Obviously of course, every successful site was once a start up - but jumping onto each new site is costing time and money and has to been seen as a risk - especially when most of the promises are actually undeliverable in the current climate.
As an exception. Obviously there are fewer rules to worry about if you deal exclusively in crypto (see sites like nicheclips) but the volatile nature of crypto and it's lack of common usage again makes that a risky venture.
Kinkbomb took crypto and still went under.
