I know this is kind of what happens every generation, where things change and the older generations look down upon youth culture and discredit it. There is always the music and dress that parents dislike. But is the negative view of social media just an age divide or a genuine issue these days?
The younger generations today are all taken in and obsessed by Youtubers and influencers.
But have you noticed the majority of them, especially the TikTok style short video makers, and the Youtube gamers, are all young rich kids living in their parents huge houses with everything they could ever want. This is really unhealthy for the youth of today as they see these videos and the lifestyles they are portraying and think they can do the same as a career choice and make loads of money. My 11 year old son thinks this is all he will need to do later to make a living!
Randomly swipping through YouTube shorts and TikTok videos it is mad what people make, but even worse that people are actually watching this junk.
There are however some genuinely talently people buried within all the rubbish. I follow a couple of artists that show them creating their artwork speeded up. Their work is amazing to see, and for that it's a great way to share what they do. But for most it seems to boil down to girls showing off their ability to perform the latest dance routine, apply makeup, eat something or change their clothes. And I hate those fake voiceovers!
I suppose if they can't make a success of Youtube or TikTok they always have OnlyFans to fall back on!
