Long time recurring members suddenly stop spending en masse, an unexplained abundance of supposedly new customers who are spending far less than typical new customers used to... it's not my traffic sources. At first I thought maybe it was something the sponsor was doing but the more I see other people post similar things overall, I'm starting to lean toward this more likely being a credit card or billing problem.
YES. July was actually a record month for me. But, starting in August, about a third of my Custom clients couldn't get a payment through my primary processor anymore, and sales across outlets took a dive. And, I tried to subscribe to a ModelCentro site myself last month and my bank blocked the payment.
So, it seems a large processor or processors are instituting demand-side anti-porn policies, instead of just the supply-side discrimination many banks have had in the past by refusing or freezing our accounts.
