Well, the latter part is valid for almost every "bottom of the ladder" style precarious job. Be it agriculture, meatpacking, construction, flipping burgers, hauling trash, handing out Amazon parcels or sex work - all of these don't require much education or training, they're fairly risky (in terms of danger of accidents or other harm) and there's an abundance of potential workers which means the wages are very low.
> Internet porn makes this even worse, since even if they decide to stop, their material will stay online forever.
The irony is, there are so many people shaming anything sexual from erotic art over r/gonewild nudes to full-service sex work, but almost everyone of the shamers is jacking off to porn regularly.
In a decent society without religious bullcrap, there would be no stigma attached and that's it - and we're thankfully heading that way, given that "having an onlyfans" is basically the norm for young women these days employers simply can't afford to shame women for enjoying sex as they won't find staff otherwise.
