If you've made it to the age of 25 and still decide you want to get into that industry, that's not exploitation; that's ambition. Also, raising the minimum age (to participate AND VIEW) might do a great deal to change how people think about it, in general, and give future minds more time develop for the better. It should be obvious, by now, that throughout all of human history forcible repression of sexual expression leads society to rebound into degeneracy. This happens time and time again, and the USA certainly won't be the last country that this happens to unless we can come up with a mature solution to the problem moving forward.
That's not just the adult entertainment industry, either. There are lots of models in the marketing industry, right now, that are their own agents and doing quite well cutting out their "managers"; the biggest exploiters out there. The same thing is happening with sites like OF. Sure, there are still lots of scumbags out there taking advantage of some, but people that want to be in that industry and away from the scumbags are at least taking their creative endeavors away from exploiters every day. Still, it would seem many of them are still on the "vaccinated, Ukraine, BLM" stupidity cycle; so there's that. People might just get so sick of that kind of nonsense that they stop viewing altogether, and if that's part of the plan, it's pretty genius.
Of course, if the entire internet goes to Skylink, you can kiss all of it goodbye, permanently, because none of that is allowed on it at all, so there's that.
