    I would be surprised if majority of people couldn’t live without watching kids on youtube but who knows, maybe you’re right.

      Most people could live without youtube period. But what the fuck would be the reason to do it?

      Even so, the much more ridiculous one to me is the second one.

        You don’t know why it would be good to stop exploiting children for clicks and ad revenue? Do you think a 12 yo can consent to live streaming their life for the whole world to watch?

        Even so, the much more ridiculous one to me is the second one.

        Cell phone bans are now common in schools. More and more research shows phones are bad for development.

        But you want to give them to kids why exactly?
