I don't think it's owned by the workers, but it does seem like they set their own schedules (the dancers at least). Most only go on a few days a month.

Honestly it's not any worse than OnlyFans and it seems like a lot of them have those too.

The gig economy is not something to aspire to.

Is sex workers setting their own hours gig economy? The alternative is sex workers punching in for a 9-5 and being forced to sell themselves in one of the more difficult lines of work without the option to leave.

Not really a fan of sex worker factory hours given that a structure like that implicitly removes the worker's ability to consent.

Juggling schedules at 5 different clubs to get enough hours to get enough money to keep a roof over your head is precarity, not freedom. Most dancers aren't just dancing at one club "a few days a month", they're doing the equivalent of working Uber, Lyft, and Doordash all at the same time.

You're right, didn't think about them moving around between clubs. Gig work is evil
