Kids watching YouTube

[Rudy]

This phenomenon is blowing my fuckin mind

Kids watching other kids play video games

Kids watching other kids unboxing presents

This little bastard Ryan from Ryan’s world literally posts videos about him opening new toys And millions of kids are watching this shit 

I do not get it, why not play the games or with the toys instead rather than this dick doing it

Apparently he’s a fuckin millionaire and he’s started selling his own shitty overpriced toys with his stupid face plastered over it 

Ryan is gonna grow up learn his parents blew his money on coke and hookers sue them Drew Barrymore style and develop an opioid addiction living under a bridge giving handjobs to day bankers

 

The future generations are fucked and it’s all this little pricks fault.
 

Go outside and poke a dead cat like we used to do you weirdo

My lad missed the Ryan thing thank fuck but he'll sit and watch some over excitable yank nonce play minecraft even though he's got the game minecraft... 

Diana was the one who annoyed me with my daughters YouTube. Same as Ryan. Started off in some scummy flat in Russia opening toys annoyingly edited by her money grabbing dad. 

They're now in some massive florida mansion with a pool and her own toy range in smyths. 

She's deffo ending up a meth head.

Do you get it though? I mean do you understand why it’s remotely entertaining?

My daughter is 4 so she’s not got into it but this morning she asked if she could see the barbie campervan on YouTube. 
 

I’ve never said no faster than I did this morning

I don't get the unboxing. It's just mental. My daughter is 4 too. 

I half get the watching minecraft to learn new things but even then it's shit. Just play the game to learn things like we had to do with Mario and sonic! He's 8

Do we all not spend thousands every year watching people play football when we could be playing it ourselves ?

Went to a birthday party a few weeks ago my daughter was the youngest, all the lads were at least 7 and older, I thought oh she’s not gonna enjoy it, they’ll either be too rowdy or not want to play with a girl. 
6 lads all sat on the couch watching some twat show you Minecraft videos.

Stevie they had a nerf gun, nerf scooter, table air hockey and they were sat their like zombies.

After a few times to make sure The nerf scooter is amazing by the way 😂

I wish id have come up with such idea £££££££££

[stevieb]

The new one is Fortnite. Kids been on it since 6 years old in my lads class but we've only recently caved. 

It's fucking annoying. Every spare minute he's trying to jump on with his headset. Gets proper FOMO that his mates are on and he's not.

But that’s entertaining, can you beat the feeling of seeing someone sticking a last minute winner in the postage stamp?

Jonty from lemington spa unboxing a bit of plastic made in a sweatshop isn’t

Mine plays roblox and watches other people play roblox on YouTube. I dont get it either. She's probably on it way too much but when you've got a baby, house to run, clean, cook, work it's fucking hard work to not let them. 

Parents who say they don't let their kids play on a ipad are lying bastards too. 

[Youri McAnespie]

Unboxing? WTF - when me and my friends were that age we were smoking ganja, getting drunk and were degenerate shoplifters.

How standards have dropped.

[deane koontz]

Should have done videos of us trying to open twat mags we found in the bushes as kids. 

[Not in Crawley]

Same as it ever was, Rudy, same as it ever was.

Don't get sucked into there, it's all crap better in my day rubbish. Your kids are still tiny, they'll go on to do a lot more you don't understand, and fair fucks to them.

Also don't forget, Gen-Z are the first generation to be digitally native. They have known no other world (and Gen Z ends at 2012, your little ones are Gen Alpha) 

You Tube is seen as old hat by my teenagers already. My youngest (10) curates her viewing via TikTok and Instagram. The idea of not having on demand anything - from clothes to games - is an old fashioned nonsense.

I look forward to seeing what these generations come up with, its as changable a time as when baby boomers first started the idea of teenagers.

And lets be honest, they can't do any worse than we're currently doing.

See I quite like Roblox - plus it means they can play games with their cousins in Bolton. That would have blown my mind at 10!

Got my youngest a £20 roblox voucher for her birthday. It was like she won the lottery. She was the richest Robloxer for miles around.

[Youri McAnespie]

They know fuck all.

I've had a computer since 1987.

Their devices are a mess.

Riddled.

I know, I know, you ran riot in the street snorting microbits up your todger until you were gang raped by late 90s TV presenters on the streets of Farnworth.

Amateur - everyone knows you build a den to dry them first.

We agreed to limit viewing our hoard to an hour or so lest we become perverts (that didn't work).

One mate found a mag with trannies in - Cocks out etc. He delighted in showing it to me...It had been discarded on a church too.

His mum gave him a big bag full of softcore porn mags when he was about eleven.

We had a plan - never carried out, called 'The bumming simulation' where one would pose as a rent boy and when a punter approached we'd all pounce on them for the cash.

We lived in the Ghetto - not up Nigel Slater's manor.

Wait till watch people picking teams on FIFA. Not actually watching them play, just picking the fucking teams. Annoying Scouse cunt

Oh I completely get it and I get playing online it’s the watching others do it when you could just be playing it that I don’t understand surely it’s more fun to play

Youtube, Tiktok, etc do my head in.  Yoof and his sister don't watch anything on the telly at all really.  All they watch is people playing video games, people commentating on JFG like Hashtag United and people generally being dicks.

At the risk of sounding like a dinosaur, this generation is going to grow up thick as fuck because they're not subconsciously learning anything at all.  When I was a kid you'd learn stuff from Newsround, Blue Peter, etc.  This lot know how to do a stupid dance.

Yoof's sister had no idea what a vulture was last night, because they've not learned about them at school.  Fucking mind boggling.

[Zico]

My little one was watching bath bombs dissolving in a bath the other day, but can we fuck like get her to have a bath with her own bath bomb 

The Mrs is dead paranoid that the next video or advert to come on will be animal porn or edited Tyler durden style

Can they make a Tracey island out of 4 yoghurt pots and 5 toilet rolls, can they fuck 

And this is why the Russians are biding their time

I think you are massively underestimating them. Also, they are creating new jobs, jobs that don't even exsisit or ones that didn't exsit even 5/10 years ago. You're telling me you learnt a lot from Blue Peter and Newsround (both still available online and on TV incidently) I don't remember John Craven's piece about vultures, but I'm sure there was one.

They are going to run rings around folk unless people keep up. It still mangles my head people don't understand something as basic as how they are served online adverts, pop up online content or that they spunk their personal data away as though it's worthless. Younger generations are just cashing in on ignorance. Good on them if folk are too stupid to work out what world they now live in.

Look at shopping - big brands collapsing because fast fashion is now all about quick turnaround from a TikTok video to purchase online within 48 hours, vouchers for use on virtual platforms is now worth more than physical products, multiple micro self controlled brands and huge empires built quickly unencumbered by traditional modes of working mainly all based on algorithims and big data.

I'm afraid the Nathan Barley's won. Its their world, we just live in it, and even though you might reject it, you are beholden to them and they are everywhere.
