Yep, and when they're not - they never hit the public markets. They get snapped up on a referral instantly.

I heard an interesting theory that you're more likely to go on dates with avoidant personality types. The secure ones are not bouncing in and out of relationships.

Therapy is another example of this. Unscrupulous psychotherapists would prefer that you not make so much progress that you don't need them anymore.

Great to hear. Everyone should write and publish online. Writing clarifies your thoughts. Publishing online allows you to receive feedback from others.
1. Personal development and life updates, but I'm working towards writing market commentary. Took a step in that direction with my latest post.
2. Once a week. It's a fairly tough publishing schedule though and longer essays take more than a week to write. I may rethink it in the future.
3. Wordpress on Bluehost because it was easy when I started. I wouldn't recommend it though. Load times aren't great and changes are unwieldy.

I've heard that comparison before, and it's apt. I'm not selling anything though.

That's true. I should've clarified that I was referring to whales. People who are donating five figures are much more likely to fall into the "I want them to be my best friend" category.
I used to subscribe to Twitch streams of pros that would play the game with their subscribers. 5 bucks a month to play a game I love with a professional? Heck yes. Playing soccer with Messi would cost a ton more.
Slightly shameful plug: I wrote about Bella/OF in my most recent newsletter issue.

Probably the most famous example.

Disclaimer: I don't and would never.
It's to feel a connection. Porn is free. Connection is not. Creators who sell a connection make the most money. It's the same reason why guys will donate to male Twitch streamers - they want to feel like they're best friends. The streamers feed this fantasy to keep the dollars rolling.
People are lonelier these days.

> I bet this isn't even their decision. (Card processor is probably making them do this).
This is my thinking as well. Why else would OF willingly limit their own revenue? I doubt it's due to sincere concern for customer well-being.

> or just afraid of losing followers if they migrate away from onlyfans.
It's this. Also someone else mentioned that payment processing is a potential issue when you're selling sex.

> And in all honesty, it is a bad way to handle the situation. Pulling posts with a high number of complaints, holding the money for a few days or only setting a limit for new accounts would've been a superior solution by far, at least in my opinion.
Right, that's my confusion too. Why not just hold creator revenue a bit longer and then make chargebacks during that period their liability?

Describes me and basically everyone I've ever enjoyed working with. If no one hates you, no one loves you either. Cheers. :)

FWIW, based on your comments alone, I can tell that I would've enjoyed working with/for you.
