I’m madder than a broke web-cam girl who lost Internet connection!

You know, there used to be a time when I had to work hard to entertain myself.

As a kid, it took EFFORT to go to the TV and flip through a limited number of channels at very specific times to enjoy the shows that I wanted to watch .

For example, I loved old reruns of looney tunes. I could look forward to Bugs Bunny chomping on his carrot as he put the anti-rabbit bigot, Elmer Fudd, through one gauntlet of sociopathic humiliation after another.

It was fun.

it was wholesome.

It taught me everything I know about respecting boundaries.

Fast forward to the present day: If I want to be entertained, I just need to look at the news.

OnlyFans Bans Sexually Explicit Content Over ‘Mounting’ Pressure From Banks

=======

OnlyFans, if your ‘re a Traveling Companion of Sultan Wes who happens to be too pure of heart (and gaze) not to know, is a London-based content subscription platform.

The site half-heartedly insists it’s platform for all sorts of creators like chefs and musicians..

But everyone knows it’s just a p*rn site.

Anyway, the upshot of the story is that OnlyFans announced plans to ban poorn starting Oct. 1, due to pressure from banks and payment companies.

This raised a question: Could OnlyFans afford to NOT show explicit content and still survive as a company?

Lets be honest, OnlyFans banning explicit content is like LinkedIn banning tiresome humblebrags—what else is left?!

Dan Kennedy, one of the great champions of direct response marketing, always insisted that the most dangerous number in business is 1.

You never want to be 1 lost client/customer away from losing your business

You never want to be so reliant on a single source of revenue that you’’re business would fold if it was taken away.

This is why SaaS leaders (the smart ones, at least) are so keen to keep their pipelines full.

“Diversify your portfolio” might sound like a platitude-but ignore it at your own peril.

This isn’t a hard concept to understand —it’s just a bad idea to have all your eggs in one basket .

OnlyFans is a great cautionary tale to internalize this lesson

By pulling explicit content, it’s as if OnlyFans put all their eggs in one basket and then decided to go vegan!

Perhaps they could diversify their portfolio and try to compete with Khan Academy and Osmosis and teach lonely med students anatomy (haw haw) .

I don’t know what the solution is for them, but they need to do something.

For now, they have been able to buy some time after pushing back on behalf of their customers and “content creators”

Who knew that 300lb basement-dwelling virgins eating Doritos while whacking off to eGirls dressed as Bugs Bunny (doing UNSPEAKABLE things with carrots) had such purchasing power?

But that’s a business lesson for another time…
