I don’t care if you hate it or love it, I just wanna know why you feel the way you do. Bonus points if you want to speak on specific categories you like/dislike.

    I think given a choice, most people don’t want to be filming it. And from what I’ve heard of the industry, it’s definitely more manipulative than Hollywood. Thats before we talk about independent producers who basically copy/pasted the YouTube influencer industry and its positive/negative effects.

    And it should be protected by freedom of speech laws.

    I feel like 95% of it is tied to exploitation capitalism and is indistinguishable from military job offers. Nobody is taking the job unless it’s the only option.

      I wouldn’t say nobody, some people have exhibition kinks, but yeah it’s definitely exploitative far more often than it would ideally be.

      I’d also argue the military is a similar situation. I know people who got into the US naval academy and absolutely had other options.

      I think some would take the job more willingly if the job wasn’t as societally stigmatized as it is currently. “Nobody” is certainly a stretch but I get where you’re coming from.
