The worst were the people saying to harass Itch despite Itch also being the victims. I even saw some of them, when corrected about where the actual problems stem from, just say that "companies are not your friend" line and get super mad at the people pointing them away from attacking Itch.
"When the shit hits the fan it doesn't distribute equally".
The payment processing system is so complex and opaque even people in the industry rarely understand anything outside their little corner of it.
People are going to be angry at the most visible parts of the ecosystem.
Itch is clearly making the effort and I suspect they will come through with a new processor ultimately. They surely have enough business that processors that handle adult industry will most certainly negotiate beyond their typical rates. Especially considering the nature of the bulk of their business isn't directly adult oriented.
Payment processing being opaque, heavy handed, and restrictive all started with the patriot act, and until it's gone payment processors can't be the dispassionate processors of transactions people expect.
It's very strange that porn is the thing rallying people to dismantle this nonsense.
