Reminds me of a story I heard recently, no proof or anything just scuttlebutt. A guy gave 50 bucks to his tween stepson for his birthday, and could see the card transactions he made. Within a week he had spent it all on twitch and YouTube donations, not a cent on real goods or anything for himself.
I would have spent it on a nintendo game at that age. Kids are retarded unless they are deliberately trained not to be. I wonder if they have these problems in China.
Probably, but that's not what these games are. They are an adaptation to the Chinese market; a way to extract money from a people where piracy and IP theft is standard procedure by letting them pay to cheat against each other.
Yes. The Chinese subreddit that briefly moved here before finding some new forum software was all about pointing out how stupid typical Chinese video personalities and their consoomers are.
At least their government has the motivation and the tools to deal with that kind of thing. Rather than the worship of retards becoming a new religion like in the west.
Zoomers are raised by internet personalities via forming para social relationships with them rather than their own family. This is what happened when parents give their kids an iPad when they're like 5, and the kid grows up being an internet addicted zombie. Gen A is even more fucked than gen Z, since those are the kids who spent their whole life so far since literal infancy scrolling on an iPad. I can't even imagine how bad the world will be when Gen A kids become young adults. Modern parents, especially with their already distinct lack of parenting, were not prepared with how to handle technology regarding their kids.
Lawl. My job also requires me to be on computers. I watch very little internet personalies. Maybe gamers nexus if im looking for latest tech. But i just watch random shit like vietnam war documentaries, 1990s hong kong movies, family of sea otters killing alligators. Mostly random stuff. I rarely watch video game videos.. maybe some trolling griefing videos. But those died out since youtube tend to demonetize those for profanity.
Ive seen parents plop their kids in front of an ipad at age 2.. seems us adults have to "watch our mouths" and baby sit other people's lame ass kids online.

A lot of kids today are fucked.

The home of pay-to-win gacha games? I'd be surprised if they didn't.
Theoretically, could they block their own people from playing those?

They will be slaves. The only question is which sect of global elites will become their masters.

I can't believe kids buy burn cash on that stuff. Thankfully I never got into anything like that it would probably destroy young me lol.
