Dunno if the school is a weird outlier, but none of my kid's friends are obsessed with Youtube influencers either.
I haven't banned the kid from Youtube, just didn't specifically direct them there. Except for a few times. I think we looked up sign language tutorials (that was a big deal 3-4 years ago) and some drawing tutorials for watercolours.
I think they see Youtube as a source for information instead of entertainment? At least that's my theory.
Also: I'm not from a native english speaking country, so the amount of content is even more limited. Most of the local YT influencers are 100% insufferable.
- ryandrake 4y agoI think your kid's school is a weird outlier. [USA here] All my 10 year old and her friends talk about is YouTube, Minecraft, Roblox, Fortnight, and so on, but primarily YouTube because it's the one unifying entertainment everyone has in common. The girls think the boys are stupid for being obsessed with Fortnight, and the Minecrafters sneer at the Robloxers, but everyone can agree on YouTube.
