I could not empathize more with a concern about exploitation. Rhyheim is not the first to travel south of the Rio Grande to make porn, and we know how unfairly Brazilians, Mexicans, and Colombians have been treated. But I think the problem is misdirected here.
Of course, Rhyhem produces in Brazil because it is cheaper for him. Not only are market contracts (I do not know for sure, but I bet you one of my balls that Rhyheim is paying way above market standards) lower when your inflow is in dollars, but every production cost is. Besides, local creators are full of enthusiasm and joy for working, unlike so many full of pretensions but lacking-talent American peers. Rhyheim respects all local laws and human empathy standards and pays generously for local standards. No one is taking advantage of nobody here, but everyone is trading fairly.
Only that would be enough to contest exploitation allegations, even if Rhyheim seems to be getting the best part of the cut. However, there is more. Rhyheim is educating his crew to be independent adult artists, self-made businessmen, and healthy sex workers (porn is sex work). Not all of Rhyheim's collaborators took advantage of the know-how and advice. Those who did, are walking out of poverty and developing exciting projects for the future.
I have no concerns about exploitation here; this partnership is fair and advantageous for both parties.
