Are they staying in the market? If you're doing it for 50 hours a week for barely any compensation, isn't it more of a hobby.
I'm not saying that every cam girl is getting mega rich from it, but they're making good money in relation to the effort required. There's not zero effort but it's also not something you need to go to uni for three years and then spend time as a junior cam girl getting experience. Which is fine, btw, I don't mind it, but I always find it weird when the image is presented blurry as in "we can't really tell whether it's a professional<=>customer relationships or just two people interacting socially", because I think we generally can tell very well.
If you have alternatives to cleaning hotel rooms, it would be. There aren't any for most that work there though. If they didn't make money on Only Fans, normal jobs are still available, and if you make next to nothing, even cleaning hotel rooms might be a step up.
My impression is that many of those that make very little (on the platform, in relation to the top stars) make enough in relation to their time input that it beats cleaning hotel rooms or waitressing.
