I'm certainly not inclined to dump all of the plentiful evidence of exploitation, coercion and suffering involved in sex labor.
From what is available in the media and public discussion you can deduce that commercially viable prostitution without exploitation is a very "niche" product.
I also wasn't speaking only about webcam studios, but even with these studios there is a lot that is going on "off screen". Forcing a model to perform sexual acts is still rape, even if the perpetrator is not on screen and even when he has "trained" the model to make a good show.

On behalf of the ignorant masses, forever shrouded in blindness by our inferior power of deduction and lack of access to such hallowed sources as the media and public discussion, I would like to thank you for educating us on the true state of the world.

There's plentiful evidence of exploitation, coercion, and suffering involved in labor in many industries . In other industries, we deal with this by attacking specific exploitative, coercive, and suffering-inducing practices directly -- and by doing so, we've (in the developed world) managed to greatly mitigate the exploitation, coercion, and suffering in all kinds of industries. In the sex industry, we've mostly taken the approach of viewing the problems inherent in having a sex industry, and used it as an excuse to preserve and reinforce the illegality and taboos against sex work, and as a result we've managed to perpetuate (and in some cases exacerbate) the exploitation, coercion and suffering in that industry
