I see folks dunking on this, but there's actually a lot of opportunity here.
Cosmetics companies are basically chemistry labs with huge marketing departments.
AI is a great tool both for exploring new chemistries (and combos), as well as supporting a range of expansive new marketing options.

Spoke to a second source familiar with what’s going on with paypro censorship toward me. It seems I’ve been blacklisted among paypros as a creator, particularly for mommy domme content. This could escalate into debanking, I learned

Sleep is a biological necessity, and sleep deprivation has real physical, psychological, and social consequences that need to be taken seriously. The way our society treats it as slothful to sleep according to natural rhythms (including midday naps and variant chronotypes like night owls) is evil.

It's pretty wild to me that investigators have uncovered that anti-trans campaigns are largely funded by the fossil fuel industry, and that the presumed motivations are pretty directly to redirect the public conversation away from climate change... and that this isn't bigger news.

Some of the members of this group were also responsible for the porn ban on Gumroad and the increasing content restrictions on Patreon, and they've already named itchio as another target.
So we know who to blame for getting payment processing companies to go after furries and kicking them from only fans, fansly, and steam.
It is a group called “collective shout”. Furry adult content is being falsely labeled bestiality by payment processing companies. This group got them to do that.
