Isn't the Only Fans model breaking the internet? The ultimate walled garden. You pay exuberant money to see a single content creators stuff. Imagine if people just paid $30 a USD a month to see a single content creators content?

Less of a problem than substack. OF content is highly fungible and you have to be into legally grey fetishes to really need a specific creator's content. Instead with substack you need to choose between current politics or semiconductors. Leave behind economics/international affairs so you can have health news.

Current politics, semicondutors, or security

The only fans model rests on fake dm deep interaction. Ironically it’s men stringing along other men to pay for premium content.
Only fans is pretty gross when you see that side of it.

The article title is horribly misleading. The article is about how "AI"-driven DMCA notices are "ruining the Internet for everyone", by exacerbating abuse of the broken DMCA takedown dynamic.

IMHO DMCA takedown requests should be allowed to be automated.
avmich•5mo ago
They also must be optional :) . DMCA is too outdated.

So you want 10,000 law firms run automated AI crawlers that churn through the server quota of mostly innocent people in the hope they can find something for a takedown?
I don't think so unless they pay my server costs. And even with "only" 1-5% false positives you will fry a lot of innocent people.

Or, more fundamentally: DMCA is ruining the internet for everyone.

Have server outside USA and ignore DMCA takedown requests.
