Twitter’s child porn problem ruined its plan for an OnlyFans competitor

Not really that topical, but this passing remark in the article opening is interesting:<p>&gt;OnlyFans, the most popular by far of the adult creator sites, is projecting $2.5 billion in revenue this year — about half of Twitter’s 2021 revenue — and is already a profitable company.<p>It&#x27;s amazing how being profitable is so much <i>not</i> the norm of silicon valley companies that the moment a company actually does make a profit, it is notable.

Well I for one and shocked that Twitter, a social media company, has not solved both all human social and sexual issues with a 100% accuracy at a rate of less than 0.000001 pence per post! What is taking them so long? Why can&#x27;t they reconcile all human behaviour, morals and law and do it for free?

Meanwhile consenting adult sex workers are consistently driven out of legitimate work, and restricting any kind of content no matter who it harms is called censorship.

What I find really interesting about this is that I think this is the first case of a story about Twitter that makes them look good. The standard news about Twitter is basically the whole platform is a total mess, inconsistent and capricious moderation, a totally lackluster advertising business, and an engineering environment that is constantly on the verge of collapse. So the news that they had a new product and went through a sensible process to evaluate its pros and cons and in the end came to the correct conclusion - is weird. They&#x27;re actually doing something right. Interesting.

Elon you bought, it you pay for it, you may kiss the bride and your pride goodbye. Stop funding lousy smear campaigns to get out of it. Sockpuppeteering out of a loveless marriage wont save you the feasts costs.
