It's like a virus. If they put out a statement at 2 weeks and we stop, then the next time they censor even more, we'll have to call 4 weeks to get them to even make a statement.

The fight won't be easier to win a year from now. We just have to be relentless, we can't give them a recovery period.

Wonโ€™t stop fighting this back until visa and Mastercard are horizontally broken into smaller businesses so they can never hold sway on how people spending their money and how business want to charge their customers.

Another Visa rep I spoke with did say there were a lot of calls about the video game policy but they were decreasing. Unclear if this is a deescalation tactic but I do encourage you to keep the pressure on

This doesnโ€™t mean to stop calling by the way. The execs in those meetings are shifting the levers back ever so slightly so they can see where it is weโ€™ll stop calling.

Donโ€™t stop calling.

Visa says they're still drowning today! Payment processors think that we're not organized enough to keep this up but it's we either prove them wrong or submit to global censorship so it's. not much of a contest. Keep calling all 4!!

Bluesky doesn't penalize you for using links, tags, using key words like Patreon or commissions, and doesn't have a central algorithm on your following feed, which means all the power rests on you to help your favourite creators be seen!

A PayPal call center supervisor said they actually completely agree with me. They said that if enough people call PayPal they would be forced to take notice. I explained the Patreon/Itch/Steam situation and they said they're a creative themselves & that they hope the situation improves.

Text Reads: Hi Creators!

Starting August 13, 2025 we'll begin rolling out and age estimation model to determine if a US-based user is under the age of 18. This will happen regardless of the birthdate of a user entered when creating their account. We'll then use that to extend age-appropriate product experiences and protections to more teens (like enabling digital wellbeing tools and only showing non-personalized ads).

These protections for teens are not new - we now have enhanced technology to more accurately determine whether or not a user is under 18 and are now able to extend these protections to more teenagers. We've used this approach in other markets for some time, where it is working well and we are now gradually rolling it out to the US.

The age estimation model uses a variety of signals such as YouTube activity and longevity of the account. If we determine a user is under 18, they'll be notified. As always they'll have the option to verify their age (through government ID, selfie, or a credit card) if they believe out age estimation model is incorrect.

For creators, based on our age estimation model we'll apply some additional protections including:

- Setting uploads as private by default for anyone
- Restricting the ability to earn from gifts on vertical.

Hey, everyone who is calling Mastercard and Visa about the age verification BS. I think you should start aiming at YouTube as well.

Good morning! Visa is starting to hang up or refusing escalation when asked about censorship. If you get hung up on, call back to complain about it until you get an employee who will record your complaints.
Make sure to leave that person a positive review!

Did what I could today, did some work, called Visa. The man was understanding, put me on hold for 25 minutes. When back it was a new person who was very tired, I then repeated the whole story and I could HEAR the sigh of energy draining when they knew what it was leading to.

The point of calling credit card companies isn't to make John Visa have moment of introspection and go "aw shucks I was wrong!" it's to grind business to a halt for such an extended period of time that all the higher ups who are real people with names and addresses decide that this isn't worth it
