One of the few joys of Covid is getting to watch my 20th high school reunion get canceled over and over and over. Lol. ETA: this is in the wrong thread but oh well I feel like reunions are going to disappear almost entirely as the Millennial and later generations age. We have social media if we want to see people, the rest, well, IDGAF. Our 10 year reunion in 2016 only had 40 people out of a class of 500 (I did not attend).

The only reason I even know it's been canceled 30 times is that someone added me to a Facebook group about the reunion. I left it after it was canceled the first time and someone else added me again! No thank you sir!

No thank you sir! i know all about my HS reunion drama (pre covid) because my bff for life was our senior class president, so there is some unwritten oath you apparently take that you are supposed plan the reunions of you were class president at 18. Well for our 10 year reunion she 7 months out was like look y'all I'm pregnant, live out of state and am die with days of the "planned" reunion. So she handed over the reigns to two willing participants yet they blamed her when people were unwilling to pay $150 for our 10 year reunion.

Starting in October, OnlyFans is attempting to go mainstream and theyโre banning all sexually explicit content. Dang it, I wanted to quit my job and semi retire. ๐
Iโm no business strategist but this seems like a mind boggling decision. Iโve never tried it but I thought thatโs basically all it is.

I was confused about this too. So instead its just going to be cam girls with clothes on and they can't pretend to do anything sexual? So is it going to be like tiktok? I have never used either platform but I thought OnlyFans was like sex tiktok.

So they told OF either no more p0rn or no more credit card processing.

I think there is a very large number of people that use OnlyFans as their source of income.

The will apparently still allow nudity just no pornographic activity in addition to the nudity.
I'm very against it though because this has provided a legitimate and safe outlet for sex workers to earn a living.

Well that opens up an interesting question of what is considered p0rnographic activity (no I cannot turn off my lawyer brain. I am sure you understand lol).

But it's going to cost them a significant amount of revenue

Iโm glad this correspondent is making it out safely. Seeing all of the pics of her reporting earlier this week were intense! Iโm sure she was being targeted.
