I don't care for their excuses, itch showed their platform will always side with corproations and never with the common folk, so it is inherently untrustworthy. If I publish something, I will take it to different platform, this one is not safe for LGBTQ+ creators or anyone who doesn't want to pretend we live in some sanitized saturday morning cartoon.

Every creator should have their own little Shopify site.

You still won't be safe from the payment processors, though, unless you plan to only accept cash in person.

As someone who survived (barely) the Satanic Panic, yeah, it ended. Thankfully.

The forces, and in some cases the organizations behind The Satanic Panic of the '80s never truly went away. Changed targets and/or tactics, maybe. I'm of the opinion that you can draw a straight line from the moral panics of the '80s to those of today.

Direct bank transfers? It's PIA since without payment processing gateway, you need to enter info manually, but it can be done. We rent out house and all private bookings are direct bank payments from account to account, no 3rd parties.
