I think you're misinterpreting the scale of Wellsfargo. The CEO probably doesn't even know what onlyfans is, and they manage almost 2 trillion dollars.


The CEO knows their business model; it's to scratch out every last penny they can, however they can, just to fulfill some quarterly earnings report. Almost every public company is now a growth company, so it doesn't matter how much they already profit–what matters is that they profit more in the next 90 days. He/She doesn't need/care to know about onlyfans–they simply care about hitting their targets.


...so why would they want to leave money on the table by forcing Stripe to ditch a clearly profitable client company?


Reputational risk. Some journalist gets wind of an ad on Youtube that's playing for a neo-Nazi video, it gets written up as "$COMPANY is supporting Nazis!" despite the fact that it's largely out of the control of $COMPANY, several companies collectively freak out and pull advertising money, and everyone goes hunting for where their pipelines might lead to similar pearl-clutching associations and PR disasters.


But that doesn't explain the documented unethical - if not illegal - conduct of Wells Fargo overall. Otherwise they'd be more like the Disney Co.


I think you are underestimating the scale of operation choke point.


It's a great cognitive bias. I myself was buying $5 bitcoins when I was 12 at 7-11!

I'm sure there's a million and one other amazing investments right now that I'm not aware of, but they're not obvious.


Lol


Meditation is a powerful tool that probably most of the world can't use to its full potential, otherwise they'd be a literal saint, like Maharaj-ji.
