Isn’t the real value of things like OnlyFans the marketplace and discovery for consumers? If you remove that component, then it’s just a personal content blog with a paywall, which is not exciting at all.

I don’t intend to be rude, I’m just genuinely curious to the motivation in creating stuff like this when it completely misses the value of the product it mimics.

I was unaware anyone used OF itself as a discovery platform. I didn't even know about OF until I clicked through to someone's Twitter and they had a link to their page. It seems like Twitter and TikTok (obviously in a more SFW format) are much better at providing discovery than OF.

You're right, but I don't think that's the main issue at hand. The first problem to solve is how to not let the credit card companies decide what the creator's content is, so NOF does that through self-hosted and cryptocurrency payments. Whether this value is needed by the market is of course yet to be proven.

Unlike OF, content creators can set up their own NOFs to aggregate their influence across platforms, and the market is determined by the set-up person themselves.

BTW，although it is not stated on the page, NOF is actually not just a paywall. it uses smart contracts behind it to do real-time sharing, thus ensuring the revenue of each columnist. In the previous version, we also designed the function that columnists can publish their own tokens and contracts, but the interface was not developed because it was too complicated for use.

However, from the feedback so far, people want to support more cryptocurrencies rather than splitting security, so we are indeed considering "degrading" to a simple paywall.

Banks don’t want to support porn because of the risk in contributing to the massive sex exploitation problem the world has. The revenue they make simply isn’t worth the PR risk. Is not like bankers have a higher moral compass.
