But that's not what the original mastodon post said - it was about people getting hired at a very young age. I run a small indie studio (5 people including myself) and know a lot of other indies, and have myself in the past worked for other indies. Even among professional indie/smaller studios it's really rare to see a teenager working (I've never myself seen it). I think it's to a large extent due to the professionalization of the industry (even indies/small scale) and overall raising of the bar of expectations.
