Some common ones: worker, consumer, commuter, fan, voter, reader, viewer, subscriber…
Edit: sex worker is an interesting one, conceptually. Plenty of people talk about how “wrong” and “coercive” it can be (and they can be right!), but for some reason like to skip over the whole incentive coming from the exact same place as any other work done to make a living. They don’t do sexual things for money because people want them to, they do it because they need to pay bills.
On your edit… yes, and the problem there is that should be considered coercive for all work. We shouldn’t work for money. We should work because the work has value to the population. A lot of work is the opposite, and yet people do it because they have to pay the bills. Working in scam call centers is an extreme example.
There are people who go to sex clubs and such where they have sex with semi strangers and what not. There would probably be a lot more if it wasn’t considered taboo. So the “industry” as it is would not go away, it would change if paying the bills wasn’t the driver.
