The Independent is a tabloid and not enough people outside the UK know that or view it that way. I think they see the name and think that has intellectual weight behind it.
Right. They’re adult enough to do it online. It’s arguably better for an 18 or 19 year old to dance in a club than have an OnlyFans. At least after working in a club they can choose to move on to other career options without complete documentation of their previous line of work.
