What's the current feminist take on OnlyFans?

I recently listened to a podcast on the book "The Second Sex" by Simone de Beauvoir and how it was a seminal text for modern feminism. The subject/object dichotomy accentuation was interesting but I was wondering how/if that would apply to the modern day advent of online sex work(onlyfans). More specifically: are women the subjects or objects when choosing to get an onlyfans(or maybe sex work in general??). Are they practicing self-autonomy by choosing to do such work or are they objects subjected to the whims of men--specifically through men wanting certain beauty standards, fetishes, personality traits etc... What's the modern feminist consensus on this topic?
