Streaming celebrities are a trend at best, and at some point the talent pool will bottom out.
- sotojuan 9y agoWhen I was a kid I wanted to be a soccer player, world famous paleontologist, rockstar, etc. My parents didn't "crush" any of these dreams because they knew I'd grow up. If your 18 year old is choosing a "YouTube" career vs something else, sure I agree. But if your 6 year old says they want to be YouTube famous (vs rockstar 20 years ago, or NBA player now), why bother arguing with them?
- watwut 9y agoBecause you are parent and these discussions are literally how child is learning from you and how they are learning about your opinions. Kids don't change opinions automatically by function of aging, they change them as function of discussions, observations and reading. It may be you or little classmate Johny or even somebody else. But no, it is not pointless, because that talking about world is child raising.
- leggomylibro 9y agoYeah, it's not that I disagree with the general message of discouraging your children from pursuing internet stardom. It's just, their phrasing was maybe a little bit extreme.
