Like hiring a software engineer to make code for you?

  It's not comparable. A programmer spent a lot of time honing their craft, faces every day challenges, has growth opportunities, can aspire to higher salaries through tough work, has growth opportunities, can influence the world around them and create new things. Coding yields power. While modelling may require difficult labour, it's mostly just "congratulations for your face".

    Let's see you put on a bikini on the beach during winter and pretend you're not freezing your ass off to shoot the catalog for next summer. Now do it for 12 hours straight. Yes, it's just a pretty face, no skill required.

      I would argue this angle is irrelevant. It's not about whether it is difficult or not, it is more about what type of culture do such things foster and what values does it signal (referring to "SV roller skate models").
