Maybe... Someone should teach kids about the pareto principle early on. Or is it about morality?
One might argue that a stone mason or a miner has less left of his body after 40 years of work.
Office work is slightly kinder to the body, although even here one reads worrying studies.
But when you're 12, nothing of that matters really.

In a macro where opportunity for young people continues to evaporate, the path of least resistance is obvious even assuming low odds of success. Youth unemployment rate in Spain is ~24% (as of this comment).

With a lot of this being normalized, they likely see it as low risk. If lightning strikes and they end up in the top .1% from age 18 - 21, they could be set for life. If not, the office job will still be there.
Only time will tell if that risk was worth it. I had a coworker who had a friend who put some videos out, pre-OF. Eventually her friend group found out, and she eventually disappeared to go try and start over. Who knows how many times this might happen to a person. As much as the vocal few try and equate it to working at Starbucks, it has a social cost that few are willing to bear.

if that has a social cost like losing your “friends,” you never had friends to begin with and the sooner you rid your life of them the better off you’ll be

Let's keep regulating gambling, alcohol, tobacco and porn. We don't want kids in casinos, drunk, smoking or naked in front of a camera.

why not? better all that (even at the same time as their Dad did when he was younger) than being on the fucking phone all day :)
