That precedent kinda already existed. It already happened to a much larger degree with Tumblr and even fucking OnlyFans - a site whose sole purpose is sexual content.

Leave itch if you want, since I won't blame you for this leaving a fairly nasty taste in your mouth, but the same problem of payment processors getting to suppress whatever they don't like will keep occurring elsewhere until something is actually done about it. And companies ain't gonna do that, because they either can't afford it or just have no interest in dealing with it.

you don't know the slightest about what happened to tumblr, and coming from somebody thats never used it that's wild.


Verizon literally bought the website and changed the tos to ban porn. They literally got bought out.

You're thinking about a different incident, presumably.

that'd be you, chief.

Not to be that guy but this is super wrong. They were *trying* to sell tumblr but no one would buy  or advertise on it because of the porn. They took it down so they *could* sell it to verizion.

And look at what happened to Tumblr. They sold it off… and it was worthless. It got sold again and again for less money each time, and I can’t even remember the last time I saw anyone seriously use the service.

Folding might save Itch in the short-term, but you only have to look to Tumblr to find an example of the long-term effects, and since Itch is so much more specialized, I’d expect it to have a much harder time shambling forward.
