There seems like some cognitive dissonance happening here.
Is there this level of outrage when people use their status within SV to get actual help with problems at google/facebook/twitter? Are twitter employees getting fired when high clout SV people get bluchecked as a status symbol?
Or maybe there's something unique about the fact that she's having sex with these people, and in fact having sex with people for money is different that writing computer software for people for money.
To be clear: I think that what we're doing to our society by normalizing the idea of young women becoming literal prostitutes, and pretending like that is just cool and normal is horrifying. I just think that stories like this being noteworthy kindof highlight the hypocrisy I see within tech where people pretend that the employees at onlyfans and pornhub aren't litereally engaging in grooming.

I can foresee an account problem solved by reaching employees on a forum they're known to frequent. You talk to them and force someone to look at the problem. It is unfair, but I am a realist. 3. I cannot foresee a massive company having such lax security processes that exchanging anything can solve for point 2. Sex, money, whatever. Is Facebook ok that its employees are getting screwed, or getting money, for favours?
