We’re talking about children. I am also amazed whenever someone on FR supports child prostitution and kiddie porn as “free market”.
And, how do you propose we fix this? Yes, child porn is wrong - but it’s legal in Japan. Yes, it’s not a good idea - but it’s socially acceptable in Japan.
The girls know exactly what they are doing, and knowing the female psyche, girls are socially competitive - which means that if one does it, the others will do it twice. If one girl makes %100/week the others will want to earn $200.
Do I want my grandkids doing this? Nope. But I also chose my battles, so I can use whatever influence I have to persuade my granddaughters and grandsons to not participate. But, beyond that I can do nothing.
If they ignore my advice, I can either alienate them and shun them - or I can be the person they can come to when they realize the error of their ways. I prefer the latter approach - but you are free to chose your own path.
The girls are thinking of money and the clothes they can buy. The men are thinking ... well, you know what they are thinking. This is not a new problem; it’s as old as mankind.

As Jerry Pournelle likes to say, unrestrained free markets eventually lead to human flesh on sale at the supermarket. And he’s a fan of free markets.
There needs to be a system of morality involved.
