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.

Alluring until you figure out that there is heavy competition.

Also; surely Image generators can make feet pictures at this point. Customers can even specify how many toes they want.

    Not a foot guy, but I imagine just knowing it's a real person adds something. Especially since image generators are horrible at making two separate pictures look like they're from the same person. Someday, they'll probably get good enough that it won't be an issue, but not yet.

    they're actually getting good at this, however, since most of the stuff is lazily made from generic corporate LLMs instead of a custom local one using loras trained on specific image sets.
