What is there preventing people who are on the platform from getting other jobs? Your comment makes it sound as if those people are completely incapable of doing any meaningful work.

Whose to say that the work they are already doing isn't creating value? And why is only one subset of a person's efforts consider something value creation if it meets certain check boxes, but other ways of using one's time isn't consider creating value. People pay for sex around the world. People are exchanging value for it. So it is apparently something worthy of value. I mean that is how money works right? When I give you money, we are in an exchange where value is being transferred because there is obviously something of worth involved.

If someone is really bothered because of the depiction below, they can still look for 'meaningful work'. Nothing is stopping them right now. >“Put simply, whether you’re a ‘high-class’ call girl or a street walkin’ ho, when you’re on a ‘date’ you gotta get on your knees or lay on your back and let that man use your body any way he wants to. That’s what he pays for. Pretending prostitution is a job like any other job would be laughable if it weren’t so serious.” This is for sex workers, but selling sex online may result in some people feeling their dignity is violated. Those can still find different jobs right now too. Removing the option for people who either don't have other good options or do not feel like the above situation is as bad this radical feminist is making it to be, is not a good thing. If sex work is so denigrating to the high class escort as she makes it out to be, why are they still in that field not look for other options? Maybe they don't see it as denigrating as she does, or maybe they don't have other options. In both cases it doesn't make sense to remove that option beyond law enforcement going after pimps and traffickers. As I said earlier, what you stated sounds exactly like 'let them eat cake'.

They may be capable of other work, but for some reason they're doing OnlyFans. Perhaps they know more about their options than you or I do. Regardless, banning OnlyFans won't create new opportunities for them. If banning OnlyFans is a social good, should they be compensated for the lost opportunity, the price that they're paying?
