1) "Jobless" completely ignores the fact that sex work is work.

2) Saturation and discovery are problems with *all ecommerce,* which is why the vast majority of digital storefronts fail, no matter what they sell

Making this unique to OnlyFans is incurious, bad faith reporting https://twitter.com/nytimes/status/1349407158476136451

While pointing out that platforms like OF are most beneficial to people with "large social media followings"—okay, water wet—there is zero mention of how Instagram's recent TOS update suppresses, shadowbans and deletes racialized and LGBTQ+ sex workers for even mentioning the URL

No mention of the racial disparity across all sex work, no mention of how racialized, fat and LGBTQ+ sex workers are always the first to be disappeared no matter how stringently they observe Community Guidelines

The Outline (RIP) published the exact same article about Patreon in 2017 https://theoutline.com/post/2571/no-one-makes-a-living-on-patreon?zd=1&zi=svzkjlua

SORRY, TUNNEL VISION BECAUSE I HAVE MANY THOUGHTS ABOUT ECOMMERCE BUT THE NYT ARTICLE DOES NOT ONCE MENTION SISEA (WHICH DIED ON TECHNICALITY AND IS CONFIRMED TO RETURN BTW) OR NICK KRISTOF'S *NYT* OP-ED OR PORNHUB

Pornhub is a terrific way for us to legally advertise our OnlyFans, to sell old content and maximize the return on the hours spent producing a single clip.

But it was Kristof's op-ed in the New York Times a few weeks ago that forced Visa & MasterCard to cut ties w the platform

Back to the NYT article and its echo, The Outline article from 2017.

Over and over again, the same complaint: I thought ecommerce meant I did less work, not more work!
