I think you're running into the same thing, where it's just a job. Someone might take more shifts working at a bar to buy drugs or to pay for their kids, or to buy bread or whatever. It's just a job. What they're doing doesn't actually apply to whether or not there's exploitation happening. These other things that you're bringing up, the drugs, the economic instability, are pervasive in our society regardless of where someone works. Is it related to sex work? Not really. It's about the relationships and the social conditions that we're already facing.
