    Sex work is face-to-face.

    Onlyfans work is the cultivation of parasocial relationships: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parasocial_interaction

    And this applies to non-porn accounts too, once they reach a critical mass.

    Hence I don’t think it’s about good or bad workers, it’s more that the system is setup to be unhealthy and manipulative to everyone but the top of the pyramid.

      It absolutely does not have to be face-to-face. Since you use Wikipedia:

      Sex work is “the exchange of sexual services, performances, or products for material compensation. It includes activities of direct physical contact between buyers and sellers as well as indirect sexual stimulation”.

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_work

      the system is setup to be unhealthy and manipulative to everyone but the top of the pyramid.

      Bruh. You just described almost every company on the planet…

      You’re assigning morals to something that is subjective. People are not being forced or manipulated into giving money on OF. That’s their own choice. Just like it’s my choice to whip out my dick and masturbate. I can choose to give someone money to see exactly what I want, or I can choose to not and then settle for what’s out there.
