The same day I quit the retail job someone told me that they thought doing online sex work is "exploiting myself." The work isn't exploitative, especially when compared with these low-wage positions where they overwork and mistreat employees.

    The usage of the phrase "career move" infuriates me so much. What fucking career. People switching jobs so they get exploited a little less isn't a fucking career move you dumb fucks.

      yeah, she makes more for easier work now, but in 10 years she won't be able to and won't have any experience, skills, benefits, or pension built up or anything. she's going to lose 10 years in career progression in teaching because it is so brutal that short term money as a cam girl is better. shit is fucked either way.

      there's going to be a lot of gig workers killing themselves as they get older and have no safety net or stability.
