Empirically incentives are cancelled in America. Aside from ritualized transactions, offering payment or other inducements makes people run away. I personally know two exceptions but I'm exceptionally well connected.
"Sex work is real work" is about bringing sex workers into the professional class with recognized ritualized transactions and an intelligible generally accepted social role. It's coordination against trade, immigrant entrepreneurs, and migrant farm workers.
People in the kinds of privilege classes I know how to get cozy with now approve of sex workers, their eyes light up when I suggested running sex workers for city council, but I don't think that would have happened if I'd suggested other gray-market entrepreneurs.
The offer to move a class of people out of the social category that might have been sanctioned as "speculator" under Russian state Communism is part of the mechanism by which entrepreneurs are preyed on by the various classes.
