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.

This was relatively recently.

Tempering that number slightly is just -how many people- are on the platform, 1 in 200 getting paid out isn't as unreasonable when every fifth person on the planet (seemingly...) has an account. It's all luck based, and most people unfortunately just don't make any sales because they weren't the lucky one chosen by the Horny Zeitgeist that round.

... And that minor bootlicking out of the way (don't kinkshame me) yeah they stand out as being predatory even in an industry renowned for exploitative practices. It's pretty fucking awful.
