I see a lot of comments here confused about the motive and the "it" behind hacking the girls sites. The motive is money. They let the real-life human girls work their way up the ranks and when the bot (computer) sees which girls are earning the most then it steps in and hacks the account thus receiving all the earnings. Amazon does a similar thing with it's vendors. It lets small vendors do the work and then the algo/bot analyses what is selling the best and then Amazon steps in and sells it cheaper. Some kids YouTube channels do the same, they send bots to assess what is the best music/characters/visuals and then a computer puts together these insane little non-human sketches that attract millions of hits without any or very little human input. In financial trading this is what the algos do and front run human traders with lightening fast orders. There is no "all is fair" in many industries today - even the oldest industry in the world in it's digital form. There were no pimps or gangster-type men burdening the girls and on the surface it could seem like the digital aspect of the sex industry has made it safer for women. But there is no need to strong-arm them into anything, in fact they do the leg work and then can be stolen from with little effort. Women are still the victims even though they do 99% of the work in the sex industry. I liked the use of names. Lola (the showgirl) becomes EveBot (Eve means first woman thus the "first" humanbot). A nice re-invention and also great storytelling of how the innocence, human-ness and base human desire of sex ends up being calculated, false (peroxide hair) broken (nose) and fake (not a new girl plus fake chin/hair). The sex industry (money) turns something as beautifully human and simple as sex into something manipulative, deceptive, dangerous and ugly when it becomes an industry. I liked the movie, I found it well put together, well acted and very good editing.
