That’s me but I hate saying it, particularly on the internet, cause then people become very mean assuming I’m trying to sell them something.

don't forget to stay safe while doing sex work.

I mean unionize

I mean if you just talk about your profession and never link anything, surely it won't look like an ad? And it's a fascinating profession that I'm sure people like to learn about.

Because that's usually the case if we're honest.

It depends on the person and their business model. For some, content is their main source of income so naturally they want to be as out there as possible since it’s a very volatile & oversaturated/cutthroat market to begin with. For others (like myself) it’s just a big ad for in person services (think of it like a portfolio, the more attractive the portfolio the more money you can request) since that’s where the real money is made & want to actually minimize unnecessary exposure to said content.

I work on side projects for people with woodwork.

My day job that makes up the majority of my income is in software.

I wouldn’t call myself a woodworker over a software engineer.

You are calling yourself a content creator instead of a prostitute when that’s your primary profession. Nothing wrong with either profession, but that context is relevant.

You could refer to a prostitute as a woodworker, depending on the clientele.

Also, Courtesan is right there in their name. They ain't hiding it.

If you main revenue is in person services, you're not a content creator tho.

What the fuck are you trying to sell... sorry, my bad.
