Probably just another work-martyr who didn't realize she made indecency seem like a shortcut with this one.

Or rather, "anyone who does better than me either worked harder or cheated". Nothing interesting to see here.

Porn-stars and Onlyfans models might say something remotely like this, if most werent honest enough to just say "give me money" or "here's my ass, give me money".
