Diaper Donald who rawdogged a pornstar didn't promise a porn ban, you're thinking of the guy with a pornstar name, Mike Johnson. Technically his lackeys in this house voted for him, not the American people. Of course, the American people voted for his lackeys, so...

It's not that financial/credit card companies have always been/still are run by backwards prudes, it's that they're run by two-faced hypocrites. These people engage in the most perverse behavior imaginable when they're out of public view, it's only when people are looking at them that they have an issue with this. They're the 21st century equivalent of the prohibition ladies who'd have their anti-booze bitchfest and then celebrate after with a glass of wine. Likewise, while there's some blame to go around to everyone, (go look at Kamala Harris' record on prosecuting sex workers,) the Republican party as a whole has been consistently worse about this issue, and appointing the guy who wants to ban porn as their House Speaker, plus having Senators pushing similar shit at the state level, puts them squarely in a position of deserving more blame. (Kamala lost and the D's have no power right now, this one is on the R's.)
Oh, and SESTA/FOSTA are absolutely responsible for the ABDL Patreon ban. USAPATRIOT has been around since 2002, so why wasn't ABDL content or porn in general banned sooner? I'll tell you why, because when Obama was president, people actually complained that it was too difficult to legally acquire porn, (especially niche/fetish porn,) and that the US government was leaving taxable revenue on the table. The reason the government was leaving taxable revenue on the table was that the credit card companies wouldn't play ball and do business with porn sites, which is why you typically had to go through some shady payment processor in Russia, or buy "tokens" that you could then use to pay for your porn up until about 15 years ago. The Obama administration's response to this was to tell the credit card companies "find a way to process payments for legally created porn, regardless of the niche," and that's basically what happened. The credit card companies took the sticks out of their asses and started processing payments for any legally created porn, and porn created in the USA became taxable in the USA and not just in the country hosting the site it was distributed on. If you don't like the current situation, complain, or find someone famous with a big mouth and get them to complain. Politicians are typically thin-skinned and enough whining by their constituents typically gets them to back off.

OnlyFans hasn't figured out that they can't have it both ways. They wanted to be Patreon, a site where real creatives go for real funding, and they wanted the massive revenue of their pornstar fan side-hustle. The problem is that these two industries don't mix, and by the time OF tried to purge all of their porn, (remember that?) their brand was synonymous with porn, and nobody else wanted to do business with them. They relented and got aggressive on age verification, but they never picked up real creatives as they already had a platform, and it was called Patreon. (And GoFundMe, IndieGoGo, Kickstarter, and a thousand others.) OF is STILL trying to get real creatives onto their site not realizing that even if they only offer normalfag porn, no serious creative is going to use them for anything that isn't synonymous with porn.
YouTube had a different issue entirely, namely that they never wanted to be a porn site, and that because they were always meant to be a video sharing site, they wanted their content available to as many people as possible. In the early years the rules were basically "keep it PG or make it really artistic," and that was fine before modern social media and smartphones put it in the pockets of the youth, and Google decided they wanted to play social media company with it, which is why there's now YouTube Kids, age verification on anything mildly raunchy, and crap like YouTube Shorts.
PornHub is another story entirely, "porn" is literally in their name! Initially it was believed that their problem was that they allowed underage content onto the platform, which would have been a serious issue under any circumstances, but back when they were claiming to be "The YouTube of Porn," they could have gotten away with just removing the content and claiming protections under Safeharbor laws. The problem is that the illegal shit got on there after they started selling "Premium" subscriptions, and that put them in a different category than they had previously been in. They were no longer a "platform," they were a "publisher" for legal purposes. They still might have escaped this fiasco mostly unscathed, except one of the things that recently came out in the court filings is that the employees at PornHub not only knew about the illegal content on their site, THEY WOULD FUCKING JOKE ABOUT IT WHILE NOT REMOVING IT!
According to the guy who runs DailyDiapers, there's only one payment processor based out of Europe that'll even consider touching diaper content, and that's Verotel. (Supposedly Verotel pulled their affiliate program without warning, and that's primarily what lead to ABS no longer creating new content.) Verotel used to handle Clips4Sale's "token" system before Clips4Sale began processing payments directly, but it sounds like they have no intention of going back to Verotel.
It sounds like the only real solution to this is going to be an ABDL clip site that uses Verotel as its payment processor, or an even shadier site that uses random crypto.
Oh, and any of you retards who thinks any of this is a good thing for diaper porn needs to have your head examined, and not for the usual reasons. It just got infinitely more difficult to legally purchase diaper porn from a platform that you know is reliable/not a scam, from a model that you know is legal and not "lying about her age but looks older," (which was actually one of the reasons why credit card companies were pushed to process payments for this kind of content from sites like Clips4Sale in the first place,) and with a payment method that isn't shady and doesn't require jumping through hoops to use.
This will never happen as it would require both the credit card companies to be sane, and sites like Clips4Sale and IWantClips to engage in a little bit of extra work, but my guess is that if AB/DL content had to be shot on actual cameras, models had to show their faces, and maybe even require the clip to have just the most rudimentary concept of a plot, the credit card companies might back off a little bit. Why? Because I'm willing to bet that the thing scaring credit card companies are the vertical, headless, "diapered crotch shots" where it's impossible to tell the person's age. Sure they may have submitted two forms of ID, but the guy with his hair on fire in the legal department is probably thinking "What if they just have similar legs? We can't tell if the person in the video is the same one in the photo ID." Forcing an actual camera instead of a smartphone puts a monetary barrier in front of the "aspiring content creators" who shouldn't be involved in this stuff yet, and monetary barriers work well for that purpose. Forcing faces to be shown on all new content would make it easy for someone to look at the two forms of photo ID, look at the video, and say "yeah, that's the person they claim to be." At the very least there are ways to tell if someone is an adult or not by looking at certain facial features, which is why this should also calm the money people down. Forcing a basic plot isn't something I'm big on as it would kill the more natural "day in the life of" kinds of videos, but it's the kind of nonsense that shuts up worrywarts who can't tell the difference between what's staged and what's real, and unfortunately we have a surplus of those people right now. Again, none of this is actually going to happen, but it's probably what would be needed to make the credit card companies climb out of the clip stores asses and get ABDL content back again.
