    This is the start. Mastercard and Visa will soon block you from other content like movies and music (if it’s explicit) and books.

    They are at the whims of religious extremists.

      Did they even have the option not to go nuclear? From the sounds of their blog post, they would have spent the proper amount of time to do what they were being “asked” (threatened) to do, if they were even given time to do so. They said their preferred decision would have been to ask every NSFW dev if they complied with the payment processors they accept, but the time they were expected to implement all that was so short that they couldn’t do that fairly.

    Rule of acquisition #85: Never let the competition know what you’re thinking

    In this case I interpret the competition to be the various payment processors that might be willing to serve for additional fees

    Good luck finding anything that works globally. Crypto payments are only alternative - Thankfully PayPal seems to be planning going crypto processor itself

      …just use USDC or Tether?

      Stable to the dollar, no need to alter prices, quick, cheap to send, on multiple chains for more options.

      Yeah, so it’ll never happen.

          that’s because it’s privacy first… in that case, privacy is really the only reason they offer the option. in this case, it isn’t about privacy. they want a system with stable value that can be transferred quickly from consumer to creator in the creators preferred currency
