They're "independent contractors" who actually pay the house to use the stage or the VIP rooms. This creates a natural filter so that girls that are less popular make less money until they move on. In a mid-sized city like mine, you'll have a hierarchy of clubs from the one with the richest clients and the hottest dancers, to the poorest clients and lest attractive dancers. Also there will be a club where black dudes are more welcome. (often the "worst" club)
So, stripping was gig work before the term. And it's no surprise that extra-exploitative labor practices were tested out on women first.

Fun fact: strip clubs don't employ the girls.

The word gig is far older than the term "gig economy". But I'm also sure strippers have been around a lot longer than even that.

That strip club in Hollywood. "Thousands of beautiful girls... and three ugly ones"
I don't remember the name of the club but the last time I was on Hollywood Blvd that building was shuttered like so many others.

Everyone is beautiful when they’re grinding on your dick in the champagne room.
