Avn stars. Sad news.

I just leave it here.
"Hello AVN & GayVN Stars, AVN Media Network has announced it will discontinue all monetization features on http://AVNStars.com and http://GayVNStars.com, effective at midnight on January 1, 2022, because of banking discrimination. You may continue to monetize your content through subscription fees, pay-per-view clips, private messages and tips through Dec. 31, 2021 — however beginning on January 1, AVN and GayVN Stars will only make content available that is free. We will continue payouts as normal through this transition. Both platforms will once again be the place for the Fan-Voted AVN and GayVN Awards pre-nominations period and voting that will start soon. “We’re in awe of the amazing community of creators that have made AVN and GayVN Stars such vibrant platforms since we launched over three years ago — and it has been our pleasure to provide an adult friendly space where creators can monetize their content,” said AVN Media Network CEO Tony Rios. “Unfortunately, AVN and GayVN Stars has not been immune to the banking discrimination that so many of our industry friends have also encountered recently. We have had numerous corporate accounts shuttered in the past year alone. “This change will allow us to devote more of our resources to the core offerings that we do best such as the annual Adult Entertainment Expo, Adult Novelty Expo and the GayVN and AVN Awards Shows.” If you have any questions, please feel free to contact mailto:[email protected]. Best Regards, The AVN Stars Team"
So pity, damn it.

This is the fan club platform that worked best for me, so I'm upset and angry at how they managed the whole situation. Giving models only one month to move/delete their content is in poor taste, my opinion. I will keep my account active but I'll use the site as a social media platform, because you can never know if Twitter and others will pull the rug. Especially now that Twitter has a new CEO.
On another hand, I kind of felt this coming. AVN Stars didn't announce or implement any system, like other websites did, for verifying what is being uploaded to their site. This makes me think they just couldn't or didn't want to pay extra fees and hire more people to deal with the new regulations.
Anyway, this event makes me reconsider how I'm working via fan clubs in general. I'm simply tired of hopping from one platform to another only to be shut down one year later. It takes a lot of time to establish one's presence on a site and to start earning some good money. I think I prefer creating videos and selling them individually instead of pumping content almost daily to a shrinking audience.
