Why does everywhere require you to be 18 or older to be an affiliate?
It's weird, I don't get why they don't want teens making money too..

Any thoughts on this?

    There are legal reasons for it.

    Also, you have to be 18 to be a member here, so you probably should run...

      I didn't say I'm under 18.
      I am just curious why they don't allow teens to make money too.

      But what legal reasons would they be? Example in USA..

    There are authorized reasons behind it.

    Additionally, you should be 18 to be a fellow member right here, therefore you almost certainly need to function... We decided not to claim I am beneath 18.
    I am simply just curious exactly why they don't really let kids to make money too.

    Although what authorized motives would they end up being? Example within UNITED STATES OF AMERICA..

    probably for liability and accountability purposes, tax, fraud etc.

      I think 18 years is counted as maturity age when anyone has perfect knowledge about reality of life and environment. Under 18 is just for seriously learning period.

      Thanks

    Under 18 isn't acknowledged as being able to take responsibility for yourself and also it's not legal to sign business deal.

    Maybe they should make an option with these sites where the parent could give consent on behalf of the minor, since they are legally in charge of that person's welfare.
