You're such a great communicator! While I have only had a handful of warnings so far for old content, I guess I must be doing the right thing under the consideration of their 'automated controls' 💁🏻♀but this is food for thought, hmmm🤔
@@ArielsTwilightYears That wonderful to know. I too can't believe you are 47. You are one lovely, intelligent, classy, talented & articulate lady. Thank you for sharing with us !
I can understand leaving only fans. I would be curious what your opinion is about many vids. Just please dont stop doing custom videos...lol. I have two of those from you and love them. Thank you, Ariel.
Thank you! Historically, I've absolutely loved ManyVids (and am absolutely not gonna stop doing customs). I'm a bit worried MV have started being quite odd with plastering SFW stuff all over their front page, which makes me nervous, and their awards this year were *very* non-porn orientated. So I'm keeping an eye on them but up to now I've been a huge fan.
OF seem to have quite the established track record of failing to support creatives with very slow payouts, repeated requests to prove ID (potentially to also delay payout), withholding funds, issuing refunds for no good reason and numerous rug-pulls for content policy changes. I hope many of your fellow models follow suit. See how long OF survives on the creative offering of OF TV.
This is an important video beyond the issues of OF... I'm glad that you realize OF's behavior does violate your own ToS! And if you were smart, I'd keep your ToS to yourself, ha!
It's disappointing to see OF (and several other sites) returning to neo-Victorian social moires. OF has fallen into the same trap as Patreon and allowed the banks to drive the content they allow or don't. They've also gone to a very bot driven customer service (CS) and screening system. They have so few humans working CS in the western world (US, Canada and western Europe), that it's nearly impossible to guarantee what support you'll get. I note in the 'western world' because they have farmed out 'in-person' CS to SE Asia and Central America (both of which have highly conservative social values). I found that problem to be the case with several transfer sites and image storage sites in the late 2000's. It seems OF has specifically targeted the SW and LGBTQ communities. BTW, I apologize I've disappeared from Twitter/X. I couldn't stand the hypocrisy there from the owner of the site.
I should do my own huge statement on why I have pretty much ceased all spending on adult fetish content. From custom videos, to video purchases, to subscription sites to places like Onlyfans etc. But it can all be summed in in one single word: Tattoos. Having a single small tattoo on the shoulder or wrist...not much of an issue. But having ink all up the arms, down the legs, across the chest, down the back ....INSTANT DEALBREAKER. Nothing makes me back out of a clips4sale video preview page faster than seeing a beautiful model plastered in ink. Been over 5 years now since my last custom project. Last year I bought a video from a site that featured Bonnie Bellotti and another model. It had a long text description of the video, but every time it mention Bonnie it always said "Bonnie Bellotti (NO TATTOOS)" which is just a testament to how RARE and an alien concept the idea of a tattoo-less model really is in this day and age. The ink invasion destroyed the fetish industry. But that's just me. Still....it's saved me a fortune. Once went over £4,500 in credit card debt with extreme fetish content spending. So maybe it is a blessing in disguise.
No not just you. I hate tattoos too! it's becoming increasingly difficult to find non tattooed women at all now, not just in fetish! Oh well as you say it might just save you financially.
Its a shame that content creators like you are leaving, this will leave OF a zone of agency led accounts with "dodgy" practices, ironically OF TOS seems to protect them more than genuine creators like you. I have had more own issues with OF around their "bot" system flagging comments from over 2yrs ago, which of course was a random word allowed back then but not now. As a long time sub, the place does not have the buzz it did during lockdown. If they are failing creators and good subs, then what is the mission of OF these days?
@@daidavies6210 With or without dosen‘t matter! I like her smile her performance and her entire being. I followed her a long time and she is my favorite modell.
OF will always be known for its explicit videos, it created its success directly and made all its money on the back of it. So to do this now to creators like yourself is simply shooting themselves and their business in the foot - because they (for want of a better phrase) tarred themselves with a given brush, so even if they take all explicit stuff down, OF will still be known for it, just like Craigslist has for the personals and casual meetup ads. aka its business suicide. Until someone sues them for loss of earnings, they wont wake up.
Well, this was unexpected. I clicked on the thumbnail thinking it was going to be an elaborate April Fools, considering the date - instead it's a searing takedown of the way OF badly fails it's content creators. I've long been aware of the ridiculous list of banned words that you talk about, but for them to be issuing warnings for basically nothing is beyond stupid. Chasing away their highest earners is never going to be a good business model
It would appear that they have made their money from adult content creators as business startup and no longer feel they need you ? 47... OLD ... ! I've just turned 69 ! and I want to know how that happened 😩😅😂🤣 ... I've been 23 for years and years... and years ...
Completely unsolicited advice - could we have a light shining at your face next time? You're a little dark because you've got those two bedside lights and that AMAZING lantern thingy pointed right at us instead of you. THANK YOU! (I love that lantern. It looks like a spotlight from the bow of a ship, or something.)
People try bondage because they see it as a game. An adult sex game. There has to be consent to be tied up because you could easily hinder the rigger if you didnt consent. There are rules through out your life, so it cant be hard for onlyfans to list what the rules are. To say you are meeting your sister and they deem this as you being a client for a prostitution ring is ludicrous. They will lose a ton of money if the top 10 porno girls walk away because of them being naked when the site is clearly adult.

Wow Ariel! 47? You look great! Happy Easter! I understand you’re leaving OnlyFans. I’m just happy that you’re okay normally! ❤❤❤❤
Thank you! Am fine normally!
@@ArielsTwilightYears That wonderful to know. I too can't believe you are 47. You are one lovely, intelligent, classy, talented & articulate lady. Thank you for sharing with us !
You explain your side of the story very well, Ariel. Sorry you had to go thru that. Can't blame you at all for leaving that platform.
I can understand leaving only fans. I would be curious what your opinion is about many vids. Just please dont stop doing custom videos...lol. I have two of those from you and love them. Thank you, Ariel.

@@ArielsTwilightYears Hi Ariel, please forgive the 'newbieness' of my question, but what do 'MV' and 'SFW' stand for please? x

My guess is that the owners are looking to cash out and sell the company to some big corpo like meta, amazon, google, microsoft or sony
Yes, I think that's quite likely, and quite disappointing.
Their loss.
Sadly it also means they are turning their backs on some very loyal customers as well.
We are definitely with you.
Thank you, I really appreciate. I think they've behaved really bad to many customers based on what I've heard.
This is an important video beyond the issues of OF... I'm glad that you realize OF's behavior does violate your own ToS! And if you were smart, I'd keep your ToS to yourself, ha!

yeah, am v. disappointed in them.

Yes, I very much agree. Such strange behaviour from them.
47? You look so great. Respect! Hope you do much more vids in future.
Babe, why are you capitalising the word 'makeup'? Do you think it's someone's name? 🤣
Thank you, I shall!
