This is a fascinating discussion. I find it troubling that women are having to deal with this kind of harassment in the city. It extremely retrograde, and I really can't understand the mindset of people making these kinds of demands, haggling, etc.
Personally, I'm not exactly "rich", and I came into the hobby with an understanding it would probably be expensive, and further, that the service would be better/more enjoyable if I treated SP's like I treat other people (empathy, compassion, etc.).
I can't see "economic anxiety" flipping that switch for me. Frankly, Internet porn has been free to a large degree for decades, and if I had a real squeeze, that's where I'd stick, not turning into an asshole.
Keep up the good work, ladies. You're all appreciated (don't leave 😬 please 😁)!
