A new study published in the journal Sexuality & Culture has found that many adolescents in Spain, including those as young as 12, are not only aware of OnlyFans but also see it as a viable and even empowering way to make money. In group discussions with over 160 teenagers, researchers discovered that platforms promoting erotic content are influencing how young people—especially girls—view economic opportunity, self-worth, and sexuality. Teens frequently framed content creation as a personal choice or expression of agency, while minimizing the risks.

Sex work is work! The oldest and most traditional job in the world. Sucks tho children are seeing that as a career path and not university. We need colleges to become cheaper

We need colleges to stop extorting students. Cost of education has skyrocketed for years to the point where it's just ridiculous

Governments should have stepped in years ago and put a stop to that, but here we are

I don't know, if enough people would pay me to see my ugly ass, and making an hour of video every day, would be a lot better than doing 9 hours of office work.

I recently learned they hire ghost writers too. So there's a lot of jobs available that don't involve being an actor.

Only Fans isn't traditional yet? What does it take to get established nowadays?

[–] loonsun@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

It's not "traditional" in that it isn't part of the formal economy when it comes to how someone earns money. Its a part of the idea of the "informal economy" which is massive but less defined.
