    The gig economy is not something to aspire to.

      Is sex workers setting their own hours gig economy? The alternative is sex workers punching in for a 9-5 and being forced to sell themselves in one of the more difficult lines of work without the option to leave.

      Not really a fan of sex worker factory hours given that a structure like that implicitly removes the worker's ability to consent.

        Juggling schedules at 5 different clubs to get enough hours to get enough money to keep a roof over your head is precarity, not freedom. Most dancers aren't just dancing at one club "a few days a month", they're doing the equivalent of working Uber, Lyft, and Doordash all at the same time.
