I wanted something that protected the cart since I throw it in bags so much hahaha

what did ur fingers taste like

im in a discord vc and we started to call it "1D", and "1D core" lmfao

oh thats smart! yea could have an alternative non-flashy version as an unlisted vid linked in the description 🤔🤔🤔

I know you can just throw a CW on but to me it feels shitty, like saying "hey I'm fully aware you exist, but I don't care enough about you to make my work accessible..." I feel like we can do better than that but idk

oh yea maybe it'd be good to do a larger project and split profits tho! like some sort of filmography or the like

This may also mean changing up what you're making so people are willing to pay for it, and doing less independent work.

As an example, if you're an artist, you could team up with a writer to make a manga together, or with a programmer to make a game.

I don't totally know what the "best" models are, but some things that come to mind:

- selling physical goods (ie stickers)
- digital goods platforms like bandcamp, vimeo, ko-fi etc.
- member-only content platforms like patreon
- ephemeral places like livestreams/events

That does mean that you won't be able to reach the largest audience possible, but personally I think it's totally fine to focus on a smaller, dedicated subculture. This is closer to what you see in Japan's fan culture and it's always been a thriving scene. Post teasers and then gate the full work.

holy this friend sounds so damn cool :o

hmm yeah I think you're right, it does seem like there's a lot of legal pressure on the payment processors to ensure they're not funding illegal content. I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't a combination of factors though.

yes, but more broadly this is why credit card payment processors are going after adult content
