not keeping an ad-free tier is bonkers imho, it was at a perfect price point where you could say, "yeah sure that's not too much money" and spring for it even if you didn't actually need it (i've got adblockers on desktop and mobile, i'm never going to see an ad regardless). hell. they could have let ad-free subscribers get grandfathered in at their older price and then announced the change in advance. people would have RUSHED to get the lower price point locked in. instead... this.

free will is drawing ur two favorite characters together and making them gay

is no one gonna talk about the fact that the only two characters who read "Workin' Girls" as a show about hookers were Grace and Ted, the two most extreme opposite characters?

and like how it completely fits both characters to always think about sex?

Characters in poverty in media don't end up selling sex often enough.

Poor people in real life are a lot more likely to sell sex than characters on TV and in books and in films are.

The reason that characters are so much less likely to? Selling sex makes characters seem unsympathetic to the viewer, and rather than challenging the stigma it's easier to have them suffer and not lower themselves to selling sex or to have them struggle through finding other work and pulling themselves from poverty that way.

Doing sex work isn't shameful and it's okay to have your characters do it! In times of financial desperation, people are highly likely to consider sex work, even when it's something they view negatively. If a character is in prolonged poverty and does not consider sex work and knows no-one who does it, that is an unlikely scenario and you'd expect the circumstances to account for it. Your main character might not do sex work, but they should probably know another character who does (whether they're close or not).

If you're poor and so are all your friends, you're going to be in proximity to some kind of sex work. It's weird when that's sanitized from so much of the media I watch!
