While true, and definitely a major factor behind people wanting it to stay illegal, keeping it illegal really just makes that worse in every way. I'm not sure why so many people refuse to see that.

The difference between now and the past is where the sex worker has a lot more power in their hands through the internet to promote their services. Rather than being under the thumb of a pimp/studio etc where most of their money isn't staying with them. They are the ones reaping the reward now.

I can see how a lot of people would lose money if they legalized prostitution, at the very least the people selling an inferior "product" might have trouble competing if someone is willing to give the whole package. I don't know if the mainstream porn industry would suffer as a whole, but the more I think about it, the less the alternatives seem attractive.

If you have the money to drop on gratuitous raunchy sex within the limits of the law, why the fuck would you pay to watch someone else have it?

So ironically, the sex workers who benefit from the current system would probably low key want to keep the status quo to keep the money coming to them. In that I can also see an argument for keeping it criminalized though, since it would likely take control away from the prostituting party.
