      It depends on the person and their business model. For some, content is their main source of income so naturally they want to be as out there as possible since it’s a very volatile & oversaturated/cutthroat market to begin with. For others (like myself) it’s just a big ad for in person services (think of it like a portfolio, the more attractive the portfolio the more money you can request) since that’s where the real money is made & want to actually minimize unnecessary exposure to said content.

        I work on side projects for people with woodwork.

        My day job that makes up the majority of my income is in software.

        I wouldn’t call myself a woodworker over a software engineer.

        You are calling yourself a content creator instead of a prostitute when that’s your primary profession. Nothing wrong with either profession, but that context is relevant.

          You could refer to a prostitute as a woodworker, depending on the clientele.

          Also, Courtesan is right there in their name. They ain’t hiding it.
