Sure there is all kinds of stuff out there.

Seems the main point of the article was that it is being made highly impractical to build any system that allows you to get paid for it, short of using crypto, which (15 years later) still has an abysmal UX.

Seems like an opportunity for some ShadyBank to make a new payment scheme, with KYC (not get busted), small transactions only (not attractive to money-laundering), and transfer from customers to vendors, but building the anti-fraud infra from scratch would likely kill it.

This isn't true, though. Porn makes tremendous money, using normal payment methods like anything else. All of the repression is on user-generated content hosting platforms, not porn in general. So sure, direct performer to consumer without a studio is difficult to monetize, but that has always been the case. It hasn't become harder. User-generated content platforms largely didn't even exist a decade ago. Porn on the classic Internet people are pining for was still mostly studio-produced and stars needed agents.

Or just post teasers and redirect to OF. It's so obvious, several well known female streamers are doing it.

People are way overthinking this.
