>preys on

What do you mean by "preys on"? Teenage boys seek out porn, is normal. There's nothing magical about this type of porn. If they are breaking the ToS and committing credit card fraud, who's at fault?



The preying on part, is imo, the para-social relationships that creators form with users.

Society figured out a long time ago that teenagers are susceptible to being taken advantage of by adults. It's why every modern nation has age of consent laws.

But onlyfans circumvents that. Creators interact with users, and the users, mostly teenagers, can interact back. This happens on twitch as well, and twitch is used as a funnel for onlyfans.

I think it's hard to argue that there isn't a fundamental difference between:

- watching recorded porn

- a social media platform that allows pornstars to chat with and perform private shows for users, who have a high chance of being under 18
