Episode 8: Inside porn’s star chamber | FT

In the season finale, Alex and Patricia discover how Visa and MasterCard became the reluctant rulers of porn. And they figure out what being ruled by credit card companies means for the porn industry today.
Hot Money will take you inside who controls the industry, tell you about the rivalries and expose the power battles. You’ll hear from adult directors and performers, tech pioneers and Wall Street billionaires - and you’ll be left surprised by who’s really in control.

Very very well done Patricia and Alex. Kudos to you 💪🔥
And I can only imagine your excitement when your call was picked up by BB. You both have kinda made me think about my journalism career and to at least give it a good shot. Thank you and I wish to listen to and perhaps watch these kind of reportage more in the future from you. And I wish to meet you too. Again, very commendable work. Keep going 👏👏💪🔥🔥🔥

People like to complain. Jesus!
While there are things not allowed to be done by the platforms and payment processors, there are heaps of other things allowed, in and out of the porn industry.
Play by the rules these guys make, since they have all the power, or choose another game to play.
Like... be a musician, a painter, an engineer, a cook.
Or shot porn without a animal in the room, without weed, alcohol and other drugs involved, shot while your not in your period. Are these really hard to follow?

Payment processors are still so hostile to the adult industry.

Issues could have easily been covered in 10 mins as it repeats the same issue things again & again -very badly edited

[@TSquared2001]

Is this a repeat?
