Something about women in particular making a living off of monetizing their appearance on the internet seems to many as some kind of shortcut to riches.
(be it the "soft" Instagram influencer or gamer girl with modestly revealing photos, or the "hard" camgirl literally accepting money for sexual acts)
But I think this perspective is a perfect example of the Apex fallacy.
There is a high degree of emotional intelligence and discipline needed to consistently know what to say and do, how to shape your image, how to take your photos, all while staying in shape and even transforming your body to keep up with trends, all while managing the emotional turmoil of other people berating you and trolling you and possibly stalking you or threatening your life.
All while competing in a brutal, fickle marketplace, managing the terror of aging or just being replaced by the hot new thing, going through the long stretches of nonresponse and failure that you have to fight through in order to even make any money, tolerating the perception itself that what you're doing is a scam method of earning a living.
Gotta respect the hustle.
