- kfarr 1y agoAssuming you have to generate new content for each viewer second watched yes it won't pencil out. But if you have a library of tons of content you can keep building out...
- ares623 1y agoKids will go to School V2 and have absolutely nothing in common to talk about because each one will have completely unique media entertainment at home.
- mceachen 1y agoDon't worry, they will always have new Minecraft mobs and biomes to discuss.
- Andrex 1y agoInteresting idea, online gaming becoming the de facto new societal community meeting space.
- mckn1ght 1y agoUntil games also become uniquely generative in realtime
- Andrex 1y agoFor multiplayer games, I'm not sure that would be a detriment to the experience in any way. Procedural generation is a known quantity in gaming, with well-explored pros and cons.
- ares623 1y agoBut if the marketing fueling the industry is to be believed, every parent will be able to build a tailor-made game for their child. I know that won’t really how it’ll turn out but it’s a funny exercise to think about.
- oliyoung 1y agoAs a parent of pre and actual teens, this isn't "becoming", it is the de facto standard. Minecraft, Roblox, Fortnite are our kids' third place https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_place https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_place

- sydd 1y agoI wonder if it will lead to q civilizational collapse because kids V2 won't have kids. Even today's young adults barely have any kids.
- SchemaLoad 1y agoIt's certainly something that has people worried. I suspect a population decline and unbalanced demographics with too many old people per working age person are pretty much guaranteed. But personally I don't think it will be catastrophic civilisation level collapse. But at some point things will rebalance and turn the other way as resources, housing and such become more abundant. I'm also hopeful we sort out the problems with big tech eventually. I was initially against it, but I'm starting to think Australia's plan to ban under 16s from social media is actually a very good idea.
- vel0city 1y agoThis is already the case with the myriad of streaming services and choices of what people will let their kids watch or not. With my little kids, we tend to mostly watch PBS Kids content with a bit of Disney shows mixed in when it comes to screen time. We try to avoid seemingly empty hyper-stimulating content like Paw Patrol and others. But in the end a lot of the other kids in school/daycare talk about these shows and others, which can lead to the kids not having that kind of shared context. For instance, my four year old loves Wild Kratts, but practically nobody in his class knows the show. Meanwhile, he doesn't have any context for the various characters of Paw Patrol.
