   @japananon payment processors just extend the rules to include indirect stuff. c.f. platforms obsessing over 'off platform' behavior in recent years.
   
   there is no cheeky way around total banker death.

     @moli Unifans has already showed a willingness to cooperate with artists and try to abide by the rules of payment processors. They claim that material posted on the Unifans site itself is restricted, but users who link to third party platforms, or who upload encrypted material on other platforms and use Unifans to share the password is permitted.

     I still don't think Unifans will last forever, and they'll eventually be forced to obey so-called "global standards", but they can be useful as a payment gateway and support platform, so long as the actual material is shared elsewhere.

     Using Mitra, for example, it's possible for somebody to pay to subscribe on Unifans, then they create a Mitra account which you gift free subscription access to. In that case, no offending content is ever posted to or hosted on Unifans. They get their percentage, you get a donation, everybody wins.
