A few years ago some videos of women getting $5,000 tips in video chat made the front page on reddit - I had never heard of it but stripping/performing sex acts on camera in chat rooms for tips is a sizeable business. Some people were tipping just for acknowledgement of their typing in a comment to the performer. Reddit probably was being used as viral advertising for it back then and now.

It actually seems better for the performers than stripping in a club - they don't have to risk contact with patrons, more control of working conditions and I assume they get to keep a lot more of their income.

Dancers actually pay to work at a club, the club does not take a cut from them. And 'contact with patrons' is exactly how they make their money, and I guarantee the average dancer (who is likely at least sometimes a full on sex worker) makes a lot more than the average cam girl.
