Next headline: "IRS Agents receive scrutiny for buying an excess of facial tissues."

The large drums of lotion however didn't raise any suspicion.

It's winter, the air is dry.

Sweet gig if you can get it.

Having never used OF, I assumed it was a pay to access content model, I guess they additionally allow tipping, which isn't a surprise, I assume there's also a pay for specific content creation model. But what I don't know is if the tipping, while linked to a creator, is linked to a specific piece of content. If it isn't, wouldn't a creator with any amount of mixed content be hard to evaluate? You couldn't prove the tipping was related to an excluded category in that case.

Almost like the "Big Beautiful Bill's" language wasn't very well thought out.

I mean, why exclude this random subsection of work in the first place.

OnlyFans has steadfastly maintained that it is not explicitly a pornographic site. I imagine if a ruling went out that every tipped interaction on the site was considered pornography, they would step in on behalf of the content creators to try to whittle that down to case-by-case rulings, for no other reason than PR alone.

Tipping into the silly now…

I can’t wait until someone issues a FOIA for the deliberations over whether certain things are pornographic or not.

Remember when OF banned porn in 2021? 😆

[–] kkj@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 47 minutes ago

That lasted longer than I thought it would. It took what, a week for them to cave?

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 5 points 6 hours ago

Yes, you can tip on individual posts.

[–] yarr@feddit.nl 11 points 10 hours ago

Hell, I'll do this for free.

[–] kyonshi@piefed.social 10 points 6 hours ago

That might take some time. And a lot of agents. To... you know... review footage. A few times a day maybe.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 7 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

I bet the boss of those agents will be all too happy to walk back and forth between cubicles. You know, for moral support

But the 'm' is silent? (I'm pretty sure I read that somewhere)
