Yeah you could make it one pixel bigger but if someone asked you that, is that what they actually want?

ah good ol' police

Spoken like a “c-player” haha. I’m with you though. It’s only for people who really very much enjoy working on the things he does.

Not quite “well rounded” as they’ll miss a lot of cultural context from YouTube that all the others watch.

I think many people conflate popular and accessible media with essential culture.

Many people, when they say 'culture' in the context of kids, mean something that kids can discuss around a lunch table. If OP's kids don't watch youtube, they won't have this particular aspect of culture as an inroad to make friends.

Like other humans, kids don't have universally aligned interest in media. Also, "missing out" can be good in many cases, depending on the content of said media.

Sure, but if YouTube makes up say 20% of culture, that's 20% of conversations they cannot participate in. I'd love to read any source that says that "missing out" on making friends is actually a good thing.

Absolute nonsense. Even a few months difference in when children get sucked into the YouTube vortex means they have totally different understandings of creators, their content and the contemporary dramatics.

YouTube content, thanks to its short-lived nature, has become essentially useless as a shared 'cultural context' unless one is plugged in 24/7.


Cultural context with YouTube as the primary source? Are you smoking something? Give me some if so.

Pretty sure TikTok’s vans were politically motivated

Pretty sure he regards c players as ones that only “carry their weight” but nothing more

Heck I’m not a subscriber to him and I read the whole document

I'm looking at games and all the hacks the do in the name of efficiency.
