Challenges Faced by Smut Peddlers Today

Adult content creators are facing increasing challenges as platforms like itch.io, Patreon, and Gumroad ban or restrict NSFW material, prompting them to seek new avenues such as personal websites and community support networks. These bans are often driven by payment processor policies and new legal regulations like the UK's Online Safety Act, which complicate the ability to sell adult content online. Creators are organizing campaigns and turning to free distribution or direct support to sustain their work amid ongoing censorship and platform instability.
