I’m a model. In 2016 (16 years old) I moved to China on my own for work. I’ve been working as a model since I was 13, but it was in China where I discovered that the model-to-escort pipeline is very real & sex is used as currency. Modelling doesn’t really pay that well - the real money is made by escorting & modelling work is just a fancy ad: you being the product.
Could you elaborate on that?
you know how when you send a letter to another country, it’s handed off through multiple instances that all just look at part of the address? first post office sends to the central post terminal, which sends to the foreign country, which sends to the state, which sends to the city, which delivers it to you?
the internet works the same, except every message is a postcard.
Basically, Machine A is plugged into ISP, it can only route to what ISP has in its routing tables which usually creates a long list but it really is just a list that is built on ISP knowing a friend and that friend knowing a friend and that friend knowing a friend until that friend knows the ISP that hosts the system you are trying to get to. It happens in a blink of the eye but still its a big game of who is friends.
