To be fair, this description fits a lot of regular (non-kids) platforms too.
- blitzar 4y agoMost "content" is made by "influencers" and thats kinda the point
- theshrike79 4y agoTrue, Transformers, He-Man and My Little Pony were just toy ads in cartoon form, but they were mostly honest about it. Youtube influencers form a "friendship" with the audience and are more sneaky/non-obvious about the stuff they're advertising, masking it as a "review" or something else. Just having a YT influencer play a game is a HUGE boost in sales.
- watwut 4y agoMy Little Pony has pretty serious storylines and developed characters. There is a reason why that particular show had rather full on fandom.
