This is a real pickle.
One anyone saw coming with the hysteria of the flu in 2020. The economic shutdown had a direct impact on availability/scarcity of goods, coupled with a GDP being artificially proppted up through various smoke and mirrors.
EVERYONE saw what lay ahead except the women in this profession, I take it.
Maybe there was just no other alternative for them, but common sense and basic micro economics 101 would say as your currency devalues / purchasing power wanes, your cavalier / frivolity of spending would shrink. Your $8k budget isn't keeping pace with the hyperinflation going on that now gives you 20% LESS value.
Couple that with the myriad of new outlets competing for that SAME dollar (onlyfans, cam whores, snapchats, amateur pornhub, sugar baby offerings, etc). Overhead of transportation (uber,etc) and rooms (hotels) skyrocketed, not to mention basic living expenses (food, services)
The "industry" will always exist, but the VALUE of what is offered faces a reckoning.
Most girls are in this line of work because they can't do anything else and live out of hotel rooms day to day. It would require you to work harder (or smarter)?
