It's pointless to try to figure out who's worse, because in reality the problem is a feedback loop instantiated and strengthened mainly by fatherlessness and community-level misandry. Yes, the simp came first (in that the e-girl is seizing upon a demand that likely already existed) and matters have become so ridiculous that all a girl needs to do now to make bank off these lonely men is middling-effort anime-themed suggestive audio roleplay, but insisting that the simp is the worse person in this ignores that the e-girl is exploiting the simp's insecurities and desperation for even the simulacrum of intimacy, and diminishes/abandons the idea of female accountability.
Free porn is also not a substantial alternative, so there's no point in criticizing the simp for not viewing that instead to begin with, to speak less of their actual aim (a convincing facsimile of intimacy). The workers are still being incentivized by notoriety, and their tasks are less various (they don't have to cultivate a parasocial relationship unless they really want to milk their audience).
