(a) It's not prostitution, and (b) while prostitution is illegal in the US it's perfectly legal in the UK and many other countries.

You're right - it's only 99.9% illegal

(A) https://reason.com/2025/05/28/is-buying-onlyfans-content-now...

(B) Just because the laws do not explicitly mention it does not make it less of a form of prostitution.

(C) Selling your body regardless of the medium is prostitution.

(D) I am looking at it from a moral perspective. Not legal. Let me know if you think selling your body is not prostitution.

Very much agree. They're not "creators", they are prostitutes, as are porn-stars.

selling your body for cash is what a warehouse worker does.

Warehouse workers are not ashamed to show their work to their kids. Imagine an online prostitute's work photos.
