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.

It took 5 minutes to watch, what do you mean it takes more than 5 minutes to make?

Honestly, taking a class in high school on videography was really good for me, and it and drama would be good outlets for these kids. Video editing can be fun and learning how to translate camera work and physical things into what you want to see on screen is fun and creatively satisfying. And as someone who regrets not doing drama in school, I think a lot of them could use the outlet and discipline that come from doing theatrical productions and public speaking.

Hell, if I was a high school teacher I'd possibly even consider doing something as socially irresponsible as teaching a class on podcasting that involves doing research, writing a script, performing/recording it, and doing audio editing to tidy it up and synch two or three voices. Might kill a lot of enthusiasm and also make some kid realize they actually find vocal performance or av or research satisfying.
