So, since the only things intrinsic to sex work are that you're performing sex as a form of labour it raises the question; Where does the intrinsic degradation lie? In the labour or the sex?

I have seen comments along the lines of "Onlyfans spotted, opinion dismissed," numerous times online under posts/videos completely unrelated to a content creators OF business. The idea that a person is a sex worker and therefore a slut (in a derogatory rather than reclaimed sense) and therefore they and their opinions are worthless, is the unstated logic of this sentence.

The misogyny drips off of the concept of an Onlyfans lessening someone.

This effort is because once labeled adult it is broadly socially acceptable to do anything and everything necessary to hide a concept from public life.

A specific recent example is Itch.io's recent removal of all content labeled adult, stemming from coordinated pressure by Collective Shout. The block has led to the hiding of some content labeled as lgbt, despite not containing adult content or being labeled that way.

However, you're right that ISPs aren't the right target, open infrastructure for the network to operate on is closer to what I meant.

The generational wealth the UK had in the form of North Sea oil passed off to private interests for their own profit rather than used for the creation of a sovereign wealth fund like the ones Norway has is a perfect example of the sort of backwards situation you end up in. That oil could have been used for the benefit by every member of the UK public and instead is used only for the benefit of the few while the public suffers under outrageous energy and cost of living increases.

edit: added missing word, "has" after Norway

Of course whether that was purposeful or inadvertently as a part of the larger training set would not be determined but you would know that the text is in there.

I think that’s what’s missed here. People take the path of least resistance towards info or participation. It’s not surprising that Discord became the go to in comparison.

Two of your points require users to make new accounts for each service. That’s an active detriment to usability. A major one. The alternative is clicking a link and you’re in with your identity already set up in an app with a nice looking UI with all the features people know. Unless that ease of use is available an alternative just is not going to compete.

This leads to a tragedy of the commons type situation where people trade away genuine long term benefits like discoverability and archiving capabilities because that doesn’t factor into the day to day experience which is what drives actual uptake.

I feel like it’s related to once I hit the point where I’m really into what I’m working on.

In fact you reminded me of the technique right now to check the responses and make sure nobody else had already said this!

Hopefully a few other people have had their lives made a tiny bit easier by the redirect I set up.
