A reckless Google search deindexing sweep targeting the word ‘Artemis’ lists dozens of completely innocent sites for DMCA takedowns.

To be fair, to an OF model it is. To any creator their content is because that’s how they make a living. While getting people back to the moon is great and all, making enough to eat for the next month will always take precedence to people. I mean, if it came to whether I would be able to eat or people walked on the moon again, well, fuck those astronauts, my belly is going to be full.
There is some discussion to be had about making a living vs scientific progress and whether that even needs to be a dichotomy, but the real issue is not OnlyFans vs NASA. The real issue is Google uncritically accepting any spurious DMCA claim they receive with no verification.
Yes, that’s the real issue, which is the subject of the article. But this comment thread was started by creating the dichotomy. It clearly came down on the side of mankind’s biggest aspirations over making a living using means the Puritans would frown upon.
It’s an interesting sub-discussion, and I agree that OF isn’t the problem.
Even then I think that’s a somewhat narrow way to lead this discussion, considering that DMCA and internet company policies get in the way of internet creators and erotic models more often than they help them. It strayed from the situation that happened for the sake of hypotheticals. This didn’t happen by prioritizing OF models making a living, it happened by tech companies prioritizing cutting costs and rushing decisions in support and legal matters at expense of accuracy.
