whoring out

Degrading for profit

To whore out is to exploit something or someone for money or advantage, especially in ways that feel degrading or unprincipled.

A musician might accuse their label of whoring out their songs for commercials.

The phrase can be reflexive—whoring yourself out suggests compromising your integrity for gain.

Vulgar but common in casual speech.
