I was involved in the past but my take on "listen to sex workers" is the same as my take on "listen to workers". You don't listen to the reactionary workers do you?

You also don't only ask the richest of workers how it's going. If you ask a well paid software engineer at Amazon how it's like to work at Amazon, they'll say it's great. If you ask a factory worker from the global south/third world that makes goods for Amazon, or a warehouse worker making minimum wage, they'll have a different and much more negative opinion. Same principle applies here. If you ask a top 0.01% onlyfans creator, they'll say it's great. If you ask a women being prostituted in the third world/global south, they'll likely have a different and much more negative opinion.

The term "sex work" is also quite broad and you get people who do soft image stuff or streaming mixed in with street sex work mixed in with high end escort stuff mixed in with professional porn. All of which are going to be very different experiences.
