Why OnlyFans had second thoughts on banning sexually explicit content

Site announced last week it was suspending adult content, only to quickly change its mind

For five days, it looked as if one of Britain's most successful tech startups was on the verge of a make-or-break gamble, one that would either see it burst on to the global stage or destroy its billion-dollar business.

OnlyFans, a self-described subscription social network", announced last week that it would ban sexually explicit content from October. The ban was a shock because, behind the generic branding, such content is perceived to be OnlyFans' biggest draw.
