I've been researching, observing, asking questions and posting all over the place for the last few months to learn more about the adult industry and sex workers. This is the most unusual community I've ever researched so far.

On one side there are sex workers, people who make money online or in real life, on the other side are clients and service providers (like websites). In this thread I'll share what I noticed about sex workers.

Usually, sex workers are women and they have a really hard time trusting people online, especially if those people are men.
Sex workers are usually looking for a "safe place" online, so they try to create their own communities like on Reddit or Discord and verify themselves. As mentioned above, they will do that only if the creator of the community is a sex worker and woman.
Because of Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act (FOSTA), they have fewer and fewer online places where they can share their experiences. For example, Switter (Twitter for sex workers that was made by sex workers) is being shut down
If you try to offer them something, even if that's free, or if it's educational they will reject it and think that you are just trying to use them
If you are not a sex worker, trying to enter the community will be extremely hard, unless you lie that you are a sex worker
They mostly trust companies, if you are an individual it's hardly that you'll gain their trust. Companies do have some credibility, so I guess that's the reason
They are extremely afraid that someone will use them, do something bad, trick them or similar

I don't know if I'm right or maybe I focused on some very specific community, but this is how I see it. What do you say?
