Yes, I've read the passages about Patreon's evolving attitude towards creators of adult content, which I'd say reinforces my impression of a general deterioration (not restricted to Patreon anyway) in the working environment for this activity and, even more seriously, in the accessibility of the platform's services for individuals working in this type of business (again, this is probably not restricted to Patreon either). I don't quite agree with your assertion, of course it's important for Patreon to work on its brand image and therefore satisfy the grievances of its partners (promoters, shareholders, associates, platform customers etc.), except that this sector of activity not only brings in a lot of money for this Platform but on the net in general enormously, we're talking about very large proportions (although it seems that Patreon is rather evasive about the amounts it brings in from this sector of activity oddly enough
).
They can therefore pretend to be tightening the screws on the actors in this sector, without realistically cutting themselves off from this financial source. As you yourself say, the most important thing is to make money, nothing else.
As the saying goes, money has no smell when it comes to designating where it comes from, whether it's acquired “honestly”, “morally” or not.
I'd like to point out that your wikipedia link led me to a transcription in German. I may live on the border with that country (in France), but I don't speak the language very well ! x) I switched to English after that, so no worries though.
(Thank you copilot for not answering the very mention of the word adult when i ask serious questions about figures haha, he pretends to look and answer, then changes his mind sorry I can't answer because 'I was conceived in the US'. We're bordering on the ridiculous as soon as we touch on this subject, it's nuts!
)
I wanted to find sourced, quantified information on the income generated by the adult sector, both on Patreon and on the Internet in general; and apart from a few figures from the mainstream x-industry based on journalistic sources, it's quite difficult to measure the share coming from all the activities linked to this “ environment ” in the very broad sense of the term (the platforms don't easily reveal the income they make from it, and the search engines as well as various net platforms based on US law simply don't want to broach this type of subject, and above all because it's a stupid taboo, let's face it....). Anyway, this is a digression to describe my irritation with a trivial, inoffensive subject that only interested me for its financial or ecomic aspects here, but let's move on. I don't want to get into a political debate as this is not the appropriate place, but this trend towards widespread censorship and the culture behind it, coming from the US, seriously frustrates me ....
