7 Examples of Why I Believe Children Should Stay Away From YouTube (Page 2)

[wyldun]

i dont think any child under 18 should have access to the internet at all, or cellphones and social media, they are mature or repponsible enough to deal with that kind of trash, as parnets we are supposed t protect our kids, not poison them

[Lance1965]

I agree.

[MysteriousDarkness]

There are people who are 18 or older who are not mature enough either.

[wyldun]

@MysteriousDarkness agreed, way too many, but society says they are adults

[Prof_Don]

Eww bro you're gonna ban your teenagers from the internet? They will just go on behind your back and have zero guidance.

Outright banning the internet isn't the answer

[wyldun]

@Prof_Don my kids are in their 30s, they had no access at home when they were here, i wouldn't let them on my work comp

[Prof_Don]

world is different now, tho... internet is built into all types of devices that are used everyday. Phones, game consoles, & even TVs have internet browsers and app built into them!

[wyldun]

@Prof_Don dont have a tv, haven't in over 20 years, when i lived at home, before coming here to take care f mom, i was off-grid, raised my kids semi-off-grid, taught them how to live simply and be able to take care of themselves, turns out it was a good thing, everyone of my 4 daughters married an asshole that thinks he's still 16 and doesn't have a care in the world except where his next high is coming from

[Prof_Don]

oic, you're an "off the grid" type of dude. Then u had little use for modern tech :-P

[wyldun]

@Prof_Don lol im also a robotics control programmer, i have at ties had as many as 10 pcs running at one time, compiling code into programs,
at home on my desk, in my private room just for doing that

I'm honestly still very new to using YouTube for anything more than something I specifically Google for an answer. I really don't know about the dark side.

[Astraea]

Nice but I think you're fighting a losing battle (like mine with porn).

#6 is just reflective of every troll online. Guys on here behave exactly the same as that douchebag.

[IlyaTheImpaler]

Yes children are very impressionable, their view are easily influenced by youtube celebrities, rappers or some edgy guy on the internet, but not their math teacher for example

[Schrodingerscat]

I know right?

But maybe because their Math teacher is not Jake Paul 😂

[IlyaTheImpaler]

@Schrodingerscat I could be better looking than Jake Paul but if I teach children younger than me how to find greatest common divisor of polynomials using Euclidean algorithm they never pay me any attention, true story.

[Schrodingerscat]

Jeez Jake Paul looks like... potato 😂
He has something that their Math teacher can't have (in most cases) charisma- ability to influence people in their favour. And entertainment value.

Besides people are conditioner to perceive math as boring and difficult

[IlyaTheImpaler]

@Schrodingerscat I genuinely feel sorry for people then DD:

Yup turns out I have zero charisma lol I make even the simplest concepts more abstract and confusing and I fucking love it, that's why kids who listen to me tend to be Olympiad medalists 😂

[Schrodingerscat]

Wow that's certainly nice. The kids who listen to you are not what we call mass public. They're already very smart.

But sadly, charisma is what attracts masses. And don't worry Hun, even Hitler had charisma and we know how it turned out 😂😂

[Logorithim]

Good points. I control very carefully what my kids see on You Tube, and these are some of the reasons why.

[bethshepherd]

People should learn that real life is far more important than so called friends and a life online.

[bubble_tea]

You gave great examples. Toddlers should stay away from the internet altogether.

[Anonymous]

I agree with everything you said except the Onision part.
He is a god of roast and troll.
End of story

[SketchForger]

People who roast can usually take criticism. Yet every time he's even remotely roasted he throws a temper tantrum. If he can't take it he should never dish it in the first place.

I know that if you agree with me, by Onision's standards, you don't live in the real world and you've been anti Onision from the start, and you hate him now.

That's what Onision does to his fans, he belittle them and makes them believe they're idiots if they don't agree with him, when in reality it's the other way around.

[NickoN]

you sound like an old grumpy grandfather,
what is with you Americans wanting to ban everything for everyone?

[SketchForger]

If you had read the myTake, you'd know I don't want to ban it.

[SketchForger]

In fact if you even read the title...

[SamaLok]

I remember when youtube used to be a video sharing website of people's interests and hobbies. Now all I see is an advert before an video, only to be met with another advert XD Just rename it Ourtube already!

[LeaLee]

Great Take! You have very strong points. I agree with you 100%

[BonnieBunny]

Remember when youtube was a fun site where people made weird yet entertaining videos just for the fun of it?

I remember those times

[dragonfly6516]

Pepperidge Farm remembers.

[BonnieBunny]

@dragonfly6516 😭😭😭

[BeHappy1985]

I'll mark you down as someone who is against education/exploration.

[SketchForger]

Jake Paul literally made a diss track against teachers saying that they don't teach you anything useful...

But I guess I'm the one who is against education I guess...

[BeHappy1985]

So what? It is up to the individual to distinguish what is right and what is wrong, what is the truth and what is a lie. Learning is a process, but even school teach things that are no longer true simply because it would be too expensive to print new textbooks. There can never be too much information. Another example, religion, it is all bullshit yet it has milions of followers. Just because you don't agree with something doesn't mean people should be blocked from accesing it.

[SketchForger]

Children in this generation have so little connection with actual people in their life to the point that they believe this man's opinion more than the people who make 35 k a year and want to see students actually succeed in life.
While Jake Paul antagonizes the belief in actual education just because he got lucky and became Vine famous.

Children do not suddenly decide against what Jake Paul is saying unless it directly attacks them, and who is to say they won't even if he does.

Children are sponges, they absorb anything that they can. An education is the pursuit of knowledge, and these YouTubers are just intolerant and opinionated to the point of manipulation of information.

False information is not educational, looking though a trash can is not exploration, and there are PLENTY of ways a child can be "educated" without using YouTube.

[BeHappy1985]

See, to me even your generation is a bunch of dumb snowflake cunts. Bitching about blocking things because you don't agree with them, banning words and such. But I do have faith.

[BeHappy1985]

Faith that some day all y'all ballz will finally drop.

[SketchForger]

This isn't about censorship. if you actually read the myTake, you'd know I simply want parents to realistically educate their children, instead of just letting them form an identity based on people who walk around pointing a camera at themselves. These YouTubers are not the only example of terrible toxic Creators, they are simply an outline for many others that exist.

If people are too lazy to realize how impressionable kids are and actually try to parent them in a less hands off fashion they'd have little to worry about.

[LegateLanius]

Thank you. I think it's bad to give kids devices at a really young age, anyway. This reinforces that.

[DaniDarcys]

Never post your real name on public pages. I made that mistake & can't delete it. If they hit reply. you're screwed

[Dchrls78104]

I think you failed to mention the elephant in the room--- the paedophiles.

[Anonymous]

I’ll agree to this, there’s also a lot of stuff that shouldn’t be on yt either

[monkeynutts]

Yeah your right. Parents should be paying attention to who their kids talk to online.

[Anonymous]

You don't sound like an old man, you sound like somebody who knows what he's talking about...

[RolandCuthbert]

Youtube is bad for adults too.

[SketchForger]

That's true but adults actually have enough knowledge to choose the content they consume, so it's their choice to be influenced by these people.

[RolandCuthbert]

Oh I get you. Just agreeing. Youtube is hellish.
