Sex workers are working class individuals and imposing a tax, especially such a heavy tax as 10-15%, would be unethical at best. Not to mention calling OF a bubble is kind of silly, that's like calling the porn industry as a whole a bubble. Honestly, there's not really even such a thing as market oversaturation when it comes to porn because porn has always been in great supply. There are billions of humans on this planet who want to jack off and a comparative handful of people who want to be jacked off to. This entire thread just comes off as a dig at sex workers.

 

It's worth keeping in mind that M4A and free education are immensely more popular policies with American democrats than UBI, and they've also been proven the world over whereas UBI's had a comparatively experimental run. We're more likely to get those first and we probably won't see UBI become mainstream until automation causes an unemployment crisis.

 

As for the rest of your post, agreed 100%, going after working class income during a global pandemic is, for lack of better wording, extremely fucking stupid.

Porn will never be oversaturted, but too many freelancers and not enough customers is definitely a thing- that's where OF is heading. 

If most of them are working class, perhaps it can be bracketed out.

The top 20% who can buy houses and cars with pure cash should definitely be paying 15%, while the lower part can be burden with 5 or 6%.

It's a good thing there's a 47 part (and growing) documentary explaining the who, the what, the why, and the why not, of Chris Chan.

Is chris chan like 4chan?

Not force them to quit, but make it less lucrative to stop the bubble from growing.

A lot of people don't realize that it really is that easy, and that it's even easier on the computerized systems if they're connected to the internet. (which a large number of them were, inappropriately)

I think Crossborder wins the Quote of the Evening award.

I'm a let you finish, but have I ever told you how great Notch is?

3501 -  (-1) to go

To preface this a little, I believe that platforms such as OnlyFans are rapidly inflating bubbles that will go the way of youtube ad revenue post 2014. Market oversaturation and regulation will catch up eventually, and thousands of women will suddenly be out of cashflow, with no apparent skills or relevant job exprience to speak of.

I want to discuss ways of stoping this band wagon derailment; I can think of a decent one right of the bat. 

First of all, this type of soft prostitution can't be outright shutdown because A. As much as I hate to say this, It's technically within the American spirit of entrepreneurship and B. You can't shut pandora box after it's opened. So, I propose a tourniquet solution by levying an additional 10-15% occupational tax for this sort of... "work".  A tax such as this will have a two pronged effect: first and most importantly, it will make chasing this trend less economically viable, and second .. hey, maybe they can finally cover all the pot holes on route 80, but it will probably just disappear in black hole under DC.
