Lil Tay Advocates for OnlyFans Over Traditional Education

Former child influencer Lil Tay has recently transitioned to the adult content platform OnlyFans, sparking significant discourse with her latest remarks on traditional educational paths. On her Instagram account on August 16, Lil Tay made a bold statement urging her followers, particularly young women, to consider bypassing higher education to focus on earning through digital platforms like OnlyFans.

The Controversy Around Higher Education and Digital Earning

In a striking Instagram post, Lil Tay expressed her views saying, "If you're under the age of 25 and you're still working a 9-5 you are a failure." She continued to challenge conventional career routes by encouraging her audience to engage with OnlyFans, emphasizing the potential financial gains over societal approval. "Every single one of you should drop the link like me. Just literally just make your bag. Who gives a f*** what anybody thinks," she added.

Social Media Reacts to Lil Tay's Comments

The influencer's statements have elicited a range of reactions across the social media landscape. While some commend her for suggesting alternative career paths, many others defend the importance of formal education and conventional job security. The backlash included comments from users asserting the value of academic pursuits, with one countering, "Sorry girl but I'm going to college," and another questioning, "So being a doctor means I'll be a failure?"

Lil Tay's Dismissal of Structured Education

Lil Tay also revealed personal conflicts regarding her lifestyle choices, noting that despite disapproval from her family, her current financial independence allows her to disregard their concerns. She provocatively discounted the value of traditional education by claiming, "Also f*** an education 'cause Harvard was never gonna [sic] help me make 8 figures."

The conversation around her posts highlights the ongoing debate about the merits of digital platforms as viable career paths compared to established educational and career norms.
