I don't understand why these companies do this, isn't like, 90% of their paid content just people making porn anyway? I would've thought they would just wring their hands and talk about what a tragedy it is that people are misusing their service and they are looking into it, while the money rolls in.
These "services" are already massively, obscenely in debt, so them chasing off a huge portion, the majority even, of their paying customer base is just absurd. The only business model I can see working for them is "slot machine, but for porn" so them trying to distance themselves from that just seems like they'll be going bankrupt.
It's mostly payment processor shit. Civitai had trouble with that and is currently only accepting crypto payments until their contract with a different payment processor starts or something, and they still allow NSFW. They also banned and purged all celebrity deepfake LoRAs and instituted some weird filters on the model browser that may or may not hide LoRAs related to things like "hypnosis" when the end user's search filters are allowing explicit content.
I don't know what the deal with TensorArt actually is: they're probably scared of payment processor issues and are just shutting down everything until they get a lawyer to tell them what they can and can't do or something. People were expecting them not to follow US law or care what US credit card companies wanted because they're based in China, but they may be realizing that even if they're only operating for an overseas market they can still be charged for violating Chinese law or something like that.
That makes sense. It's always interesting to watch how different flavours of capital both need each other and yet despise each other, "capitalist efficiency" in action.
