Based on the documentary, how would you describe the impact of OnlyFans on sex workers, as compared to more traditional sex work media?

How do you believe the legitimacy of sex work has historically been perceived by society? Do you believe OnlyFans has impacted this perception? What is the overall impact of OnlyFans on society's perception of sex and sex work?
