I don’t think it’s appropriate to refer to voluntary associations as “exploitation”. It diminishes the term and makes it nearly meaningless.

Voluntary association, but many dont know what they signed up for. There are a lot of unwritten rules associated with that kind of work. But you are right, common voluntary association isnt exploitation.

I’m sure there are cases that would rise to the level of exploitation.
One of my pet peeves is when pretty much every low wage job is called exploitation. It’s Marxist nonsense.

Actually, the jobs they were talking about, for making cloths, are actually good jobs for people over there. They earn an honest living. But when you peg it against the dollar, it looks like they are being exploited.

It only looks like exploitation to people with a Marxist perspective.
