Boosty or Hipolink?

Hey guys. Remember the old times when the artists were kinda forced to move from tumblr to twitter(X) ? yeeeaah, the times of forbidden naked bodies and switching women nipples to men nipples to pass the filter, you got that right... welp, it seems many of us will have to move from boosty to hipolink now. The reason is that boosty had to turn off the paypal payment, so you have to use your card directly/(via paypal-card, eh?), and they made it even worse by limiting the minimal amount of mons available to cash out, like it has to be at least ~26$ so you could see it on your card. That's... a quite o' shame. (upd: oh it seems hipolink has the same problem :D double shame.)
so, let's think about it. If they have another site where you can actually make payments with paypal directly, Hipolink, (and you can post nsfw art as well I suppose?? at least antro??), I guess it would be wiser to use it instead boosty for one-time payment, right? I'll see what's up next, so just keep in mind that future payments for ychs, commissions and other stuff can be done now via hipolink. For now I'm available on my Boosty
it's actually a shame that the whole community, also based on nsfw art, uses Paypal as the favorite site, because the fun fact is Paypal can ban both customer and artist for making mons from f-nsfw stuff. :D Although it was usually banning the artists, from what I can remember... So it's quite dangerous. How about switch to smth else, who pays less attention if that's a common furry art or naked/fetish one? Like if they themselves never had a common sex in their life. yeah right.
Dunno, huh.. it's all such a mess. I've actually just read some Hipolink policy and have some questions and doubts about the content you can post there, considering the wrong stereotypes people used to.. Hmm. We'll see then.
(oh by the way, we're making a new game! And I'm currently thinking on where our team should actually make a page, be it boosty or hipolink, to share gamecontent :3)
If you have any other good options being used beside paypal directly - you can share those in comments, okays? Let's make it safe for both clients and artists.

I've generally not had issues with Boosty itself, but my bank doesn't like me making payments out of country (most Boosty users being from Russia and avoiding the PayPal ban) and it's a whole ordeal getting them to push a payment through. I've personally never heard of Hipolink up to this point.

yeah, I completely agree on what pain in ass it is, believe me it's a pain for artists as well :c as for hipo, I assume that's their side project, the same people who made boosty.. the thing is no one knows if they really should move to hipo now, that takes a lot of resourses and makes less mons because clients don't trust new places and services. Also the bank might be trying to avoid out of country payments because of sanctions. Sad truth that makes no sense in terms of making art like we used to before. :\

Это сервис, ребята работают отлично. Даже был момент, что им пейпал прикрыли, но они выплатили всем деньги, кто не успел до вывода. Честно и быстро
