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.

To be fair, the actual article text was "adolescents", and someone can be going through puberty at twelve, so the body text is correct. Might have been that a different party writes the headline, and considered it to be a mechanical shortening, as the terms are generally used kinda interchangably.

Good catch, though.
