I'm pro sex work, however:

I have mixed feelings about the current ubiquity of online sex work like onlyfans. In theory I've definitely got nothing against it but I'm worried that a lot of young women are faced with shitty economic prospects vs potentially lots of money on onlyfans. The alternatives are so poor sometimes that it feels like coercion.

I just wish young people had better options all together.

I have good news for you! The income distribution of OnlyFans creators like many other platforms follows a power law, where the top 1% earn 33% of all revenue, and the average creator only earns $150-180 each month. Don't think young women doing it tough are likely to be coerced by that.

Most of the high earners are those who already have an established audience, e.g. ex porn stars.

Only fans is an MLM scheme, and watching "content creators" brag about how awesome it is to groom the next generation is... At least ick.

Nothing wrong with sex work, as any work, when done within a healthy ecosystem. But it is still a very murky area due to the very nature of human sexuality. The lines can get blurred very easily. Not as bad as Wall Street though. That's where the real abuse is.

Wait, how is onlyfans a MLM? Is there something about how onlyfans is structured that makes it like Amway?
