That's a bit jilted, no? It might not be the popular stance, or even one the founders philosophically/morally agree with individually. However:

- They appear to be forthright with this information. (That's certainly better than terminating users.)

- Aren't they at the mercy of the payment processor?

If the demand still stands for a "buy-me-a-coffee-for-erotic-content", then couldn't anyone else create that service? I empathize with your frustration, but I reject the sentiment that Buy Me a Coffee has intentionally done anything wrong.

That was absolutely jilted, but I think we made amends in the above comment thread :)

Sure did :) and I went back to mention that in a later comment.

It's all good!
