They also had two of their developmental years during lockdowns with the minimal social exposure. I've heard from some teachers that the younger children they see coming up find it very scary to interact with real kids.

I though as well, and without a doubt it added to it (I have teacher friends that give me bleak reports for the cohort that went through it), but this thing started before the pandemic. Also, I told myself, it's like watching sport instead of playing it, but something seems different.

  I think it's more like sitcoms. A cast of slightly funny and charismatic characters going through mildly interesting experiences has been a mainstay of entertainment media for some time now.

    Possibly, like latino soap opera but for kids. I never could grasp the former, so maybe that's why I don't get the latter. I browse youtube anonymously and so I get the neutral youtube experience, with what it things the average user wants. Today I say a video suggestion with kids in the pics and a title "we made a blind test to distinguish frozen food from real one". It's a really easy thing to do with your friend and family, unlike the soap opera scenario. It's typically stuff I have done, and actually still do. So there must be a component I miss.

      No, I meant American sitcoms like Friends, Seinfeld, Home Improvement, Modern Family, etc. None of these shows show anything dramatic or larger than life - it's just a couple of friends or a family going through relatable yet sanitized everyday situations. Many of these shows were the pillar of people's evening ritual - the whole family would gather around the TV to watch a fictional family experience life.

        What happen in friends or seinfield is way more creative and dense than those youtube videos. Friends start with a depressed guy wishing fir a girl and a nlond in a wedding dress shows out, follow by a killer punch line. It's not something you can replicate every day with just having a drink with your buds.
