Society basically says money = good. God forbid we treat a sex worker with respect but if you're precious little Johnny works at Facebook finding new and exciting ways to get teenagers even more addicted to their phones it's all good because he makes a lot of money and money = good.

There are tons of sex workers that rake in money that even FAANG engineers will never see in 10 lives (e.g OF 'models'). I doubt much of society has any respect for them though.

I dont think OF models are some paragon of virtue but theyre leagues ahead of engineers who choose to work at Meta

I agree, what I'm arguing is that money != respect as the parent asserted.

I've heard that millions of girls wanting to get rich look up to those "OF models" as role models.

Pretty much in the same way that a significant number of people in tech who wants a good paying job looks up to people working for Zuckerberg.

I have more respect for only fans models then fellow software developers nowadays. At least only fans models produce something others find valuable. We don't provide anything valuable anymore.

What gave you that idea that there are tons of them? That's like saying some actors will make more than 10x a FAANG engineer. Sure some.will, but most who go into it will make much less. Based on stats from a OF model agency, less than 1% make more than 10,000 a month. [1].

The sooner we get past scarcity-only economics the better. It probably made a lot of sense at one time but now it's killing us.
