OnlyFans is banning pornography posts, it has said.

The subscription platform has become famous in large part because it allows adult content creators to share videos with relatively few restrictions.

But such videos will now be banned, in a decision OnlyFans said it had taken to “ensure the long-term sustainability of the platform”, it told The Independent.

Posts containing nudity will still be allowed, so long as they comply with OnlyFans rules. But those rules will now specifically ban “any content containing sexually-explicit conduct”.

OnlyFans said it had taken the decision “to comply with the requests of our banking partners and payout providers”. It did not give any information about which companies had made those requests.

The announcement came only hours after Axios reported that the company had run into trouble securing investment, despite its very rapid growth, because of the prevalence of adult content on the platform. A number of venture capital firms have rules explicitly banning apps built to distribute sexually-explicit content, the site reported.

The same report also showed the vast financial growth of the company, which it said has paid out billions of dollars to creators already and expects to grow rapidly. It is not clear how much of that revenue comes from pornography and adult content, and Axios reported that it is not mentioned in the company’s pitch to investors.

OnlyFans said it was committed to ensuring that the creators who rely on the platform were helped through the ban. “We will be sharing more details in the coming days and we will actively support and guide our creators through this change in content guidelines,” it said in a statement.

The new rule will go into effect from 1 October.

At the same time as it made its announcement, it released its first monthly transparency report, covering July 2021. The decision to release the reports was part of “our commitment to safety and transparency”, OnlyFans said.

OnlyFans has spent recent months looking to promote the variety of safe for work content that is offered on its platform. In March, it announced a prize fund to highlight the work of musicians on the app, and this week it announced it was launching a new streaming platform and app called OFTV which will be both free and offer only PG-rated content.

@6bryanlee Wasn't onlyfans just for porn created? This is so silly, like tumblr banning porn...

@faelvirn i guess they can't do anything cause the payment processor are pressuring onlyfans
i guess they have to do something, giving in is much more easier

well i guess that is the end of onlyfans, like pornhub (mindgeek) like tumblr

@6bryanlee Its fine. A new platform will pop up, just as OnlyFans did for tumblr, and the community will just move over there. I get that its a controversial decision, but c'mon, platforms live and die, and new ones are made to replace them. This is the internet. Such things will always be reborn. I'm not too miffed about it. What is honestly unrealistic expectation, is that it will last forever. With the Internet's dealing, leading professional industry being porn, the turnover is high, so rest assured, we will have another place to be in time.

The payment processors? Like who? Master Card? Visa? The same companies who make billions each year from processing online payment to porn websites and to porn pay per view in hotel rooms? Porn is $6 billion a year business. Companies that either are currently making money from porn or have made money from porn in the past are General Motors, AT&T, ABC TV , Hilton Hotels and many others.. The owner also owns My Free Cam, which is anything but free. He charges much higher fees on that, and you need to buy blocks of time or by the minute rather than a monthly fee, which is more profitable to him. He's hoping the adult performers will switch over to that.

@loopyd @kattenijin
well there are groups advocating for these things, so they just adhere to it rules, making it difficult for independent creators and small business that don't have the resources. I guess we will start to see things changing
