I understand that some of the criticism comes from conservatives but the sentiment seems to extend far beyond thst. Of course, I understand it when it's forced or when someone only does it to survive against their will. But if people genuinely want to do it, why do people hate on them?

So you are saying some people want to do porn, and others don't. Presumably because some like it and some don't. They all do it for money though, none of them do it for free.

What's the basis of knowing if someone does it because they like it then? Because they say so?

I mean that is the same basis for regular labor so yes because they said so

When a boss asks an employee if they like their job, then the employee rarely have anything to gain by saying no - even if they don't actually like their job.

Honesty isn't necessarily rewarded. That makes it hard to know if a person actually does porn because they like it, since they usually have an incentive to say they like it regardless.
