In my head this sounds pretty bad. this sounds like kids won't be aspiring to be in a career that naturally involves some degree of curiosity and wonder and general coolness (astronaut), but rather some rando on YouTube with a pop filter and fast editing that already thinks he knows everything. And calls out people, and talks trash, and shows off and constantly tells people to buy them stuff on Amazon and support his content on Patreon or whatever.
...Fuck, our kids are gonna be assholes.
- bluedino 7y agoThe YouTube bubble has to pop at some point, right? I came into a whole channel full of YouTube 'stars' showing off their million dollar homes in California with their sports cars etc, 9/10 of these guys I had never heard of - then again I'm not a teen.
- noxToken 7y agoOr kids want to be kids. They want to do things that they like such as playing games, hanging out (podcast), or reviewing tech/games/fashion/beauty. They want to do them with people they like. They want to share the experience with other people. That's one form of a YouTuber. There are bad actors in this space. There are bad actors in every space. Should we label children who want to start a business assholes since companies like Nestle and Uber exist? Should we label children who want to be politicians assholes since some politicians vote for whoever pays the most? Should we label children who want to be scientific researchers assholes since we know some researchers fudge their findings to keep funding?
