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.

I am aware. But it is not the norm. The point being is that OPs conclusion and logic train is deeply flawed. The numbers do not "prove" the downfall of society but rather simply that one "job" has a barrier to entry and the other does not.
