Wouldn't raise a child that would want to go down that road. For either financial or emotional reasons. Not a morality thing. A better options thing.

@Ynotisay I would argue that no one raised a child to be exploited in such way. Sometimes I'm curious what is the triggering factor?

@AlvinoMartins It's a good point. In this case, I'm not sure it's exploitation though because it's an individual choice. One that people come to for a lot of reasons. But I do think it's something that can be proactively eliminated. Giving kids a sense of self-worth, confidence and more meaningful options is the call. A lot of kids are left to their own devices online and they grow up with values that have been formed by social media. Parents have to be pro-active there. Triggers might be money or just a need to be seen which often coincides with insecurity or a lack of self-worth.
