Certainly free to feel that way! I'd argue it's not exploitative if you're meeting people who are voluntarily selling a service for money. It would be exploitative and highly illegal/terrible ethically if they were not there voluntarily! But, that's a bit of a political subject. My point is, it really helps to break the ice on these kind of problems. Good to demystify the experience, get that monkey off your back kind of thing. But do what works for you of course and aligns with your morality.
