 I wouldn't say the current kids are the first , there were stories on how kids in early 2000s were raised on 4chan and newgrounds. I assume there were earlier than that. It's just with both parents having to work so long , kids being dumb ( not knowing anything yet) and predators in powerful spots make it a mess

 That 2000s generation is what I am talking about. They are becoming young adults now and heading out into society as youtubers or influencers or sjw's or whatever they have been groomed into being trying to 'make it'.. 
They certainly didn't go to any trade school or learn any skills but they got the most likes and updoots and have 10k followers. :animu_okie:

 Oh the age of the internet influencer and how ever kids wants to be like them. You're right since those people have no real work experience they act like predators since no one is checking their egos and the fans are going to snitch.

 I ask kids irl all the time what they want to be when they grow up...

My friends kids.
Customers at works kids.
Co workers kids.
Ect.

They ALL say they want to be 'professional youtuber' whatever that means. 
EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM!!!
NGL ... 
It's kinda scary.

 @GolfCartLady :miss_gcl: :verified_pink2: @95d192d4 Youtuber instead of movie star is the new word for famous billionaire, like Mr Beast. I wanted to be Goku or Spider-man personally.
