Why? Most VPN services accept crypto and other forms of payment.

They can share accounts with their friends, use their parents credit cards, get their own debit cards (I had one a 14), or even using a pre-paid CC (I've not tried it, but I think it works). It's so easy to get access to a VPN as a minor.

Also, the biggest selling point of VPNs is the ability to watch streaming services in other countries. So it's not a hard sell to parents.

I can confirm that a prepaid CC can purchase a VPN sub, even good ones.
yes, I know. It is just another point of friction to overcome. Most parents do not want their children exposed to sexual content.
