Happy Labour Day Weekend, tip your camgirl.
1) the platforms we use like to use sex workers as the testbed for new features; most of Twitch's concept of how to run a business on Twitch was developed by camgirls in the aughts.
2) they also straight up steal from them; PayPal amassed early capital by seizing SW's accts.
3) platforms that do allow adult entertainment use the limited options for SWs to push extremely unfair contracts (50% split, or less)
4) several popular platforms will terminate accounts if the performers publicly discuss the revenue split (on or off platform).
5) countless platforms have used adult entertainment to draw in early users, only to exile the workers who created the content once the platform goes mainstream (while retaining their audience, naturally).
TL;DR Camgirls, lewd models, and NSFW artists are at the forefront of digital worker labour rights.
