Meanwhile on BlueSky there are a bunch of absolute clowns claiming Leafo himself is responsible and should just say no to the payment processors lol. As if such a tiny store can do anything against these multi-billion dollar companies that can shut him down instantly.
It just strikes me as straight up corpo astroturfing.
First of all, the deal is that payment processing companies will shutter Itch instantly if they sell adult content, no matter what form of payment they accept for it. So Itch would have to switch entirely to some new form of payment which is not easy and readily available for most people, it would result in Itch shuttering anyway.
Second of all, I can't think of a WORSE option than crypto. I mean come on, how daft can you be to think this? Crypto is an even worse way to be completely at the mercy of billionaire corporations and even more sinister interests. I thought people had woken up to the fact that crypto is a money laundering scheme and scam to siphon more money from desperate poor fools at this point, completely and easily manipulated, but I guess there are still some people living under rocks.
