They could with sufficient pay.

The intersection between employers who demand to film you being in a chair and employers who shower their employees with substantial lucre is the null set.

I just watched a youtube video on how a person looking for editing jobs had some pretty poor working conditions with terrible pay. A very controlling boss, asking him to edit on an old x86 macbook because he was told it was 'for creators'. The guy mentioned he a beast machine at home he could edit remotely and the person told him "do you want to edit?". The boss would not even provide him a mouse-he had to edit by trackpad.

He walked out around noon. The boss asked him to come back for an extra $20 that day.

I'm pretty sure any place doing that is not going to offer sufficient pay.

I doubt the jobs where you don't enjoy any level of trust are the ones where you get paid well or get any kind of dignified treatment.

I recently saw a job ad for a JavaScript specialist where the position entailed having screenshots and keyboard + mouse tracking to monitor your working hours. It was a freelancer position, so the hire would handle taxes and health insurance, no equipment would be provided and working hours would start at 08:00 German time sharp for at least nine hours or until you "finish the daily tasks". Pay would however be for 189 hours per month, no compensation for sick leave/holidays/vacation, and you'd be paid via upwork.com (with you paying Upwork's fees) in US dollars.
