Sex work is cool and all but it's also cool to be able to support your friends without it requiring them to give you pictures of their buttholes in exchange for money. I can't help but feel like this particular phenomenon is a product of a uniquely American capitalist hellscape and that maybe this sort of thing wouldn't need to be a normal occurrence in a semi-functioning society. What do you guys think?

    Exactly and when you couple that with extreme atomization and isolation you're left "selling" to your Facebook friends. I logged onto Facebook for the first time in months and saw this along with a few people advertising their OnlyFans and it just left me bummed and thinking about how it would change the ~nature of friendship~ were this sort of thing to become completely commonplace as people's material conditions continue to decline.
