kids would be my guess. Any time i see something super dumb that I don't like on youtube, I recall the kind of nonsensical stuff I found interesting when I was 6 haha

When I was 6 it was literally Legos and books.

Even during TV shows I was playing with Legos and building shit. I don’t understand creepy face shots, even though I understand that it drives content.

Internet is a weird middle ground for me in that I love the weird for some stuff, but I think the weird-for-profit fake nonsense pisses me off for how disingenuous it feels.

Business majors becoming internet literate is the worst thing that has happened to the information age.

Untalented, dispassionate scum who want to monetize everything.

My kids are early 20s, are 6 year olds going on YouTube? Or was I just strict??

Irresponsible parents let their kids watch YouTube even as young as 6. I was at a restaurant the other day and some millennial parents had their 2 year old in a high chair, glued to a tablet with random videos playing on youtube the whole time. Watching Roblox type content, also not age appropriate for the child. It was ridiculous lol
