I totally disagree. We've all been teenagers. The content creators posting their OF on TikTok are purposefully targeting teenagers with access to mommy's credit card. I see it a s purely evil and predatory.

In my time it was phone sex. Teenagers with access to parents credit cards will always have things to buy that some will disapprove. Nothing new her. Not even the attempt to make everybody conform the lowest common moral denominator instead of having parents actually supervise their teenagers.

Personally, I don't see why subscribing to a $9 onlyfans account in order to see some tits is so much worse than buying a game.

Sounds like you think that TikTok is a platform exclusive to teenagers. 75% of (US) TikTok users are 20 years and older[0].

and I'm over 100 years old on some sites that demand a birth date to register

Is statista a reputable site? Sources are paywalled, which seems dubious at face value.

I have nieces and nephews and my friends have preteens and teenage children. Whenever I ask they how they get past age blockers they say they just lie and put whatever age they need to access the content.

The smarter one won’t tell me how he installs apps on his iPad after his mom uninstalls it. I suspect he figured out his moms password.

In what world do teenagers not just figure out a way to obtain content like this for free on the Internet instead of risking mommy and daddy finding out they watch porn when they check their statement? Like, I get an immediate notification on my phone when a purchase is made, online or offline. The risk is so high I feel like you're inventing a situation so rare it's not worth mentioning.
