This doesn't come as a surprise to me at all. My son and foster kids all want to be YT stars and mimic stuff from those shows. I watched them and realized how scripted it was in one video. They don't believe me and make sure to squawk and scream whenever they game or put on a VR set.
The kids all want to be influencers or streamers because that's the new popularity at school.
After all imagine a highschool boy that wants to ask out to a girl in his class but she has 400k followers because she does slutty dance TikToks, how can he compete as a nobody? So they all want to try hit it big as videogame streamers or even worse they try to get popular for being annoying, like those guys that go taking food from the plate of people dining outside in hope to stir up a fight.
I would be punishing my children just for having the idea of being an influencer/streamer.

Somehow Takis are involved. My son wants the Mr Beast meal at Zaxby's all the time. We had never gone to it till then.
If it was my son i would slap him every time he mentioned a loser streamer or one of their shitty products.
Though love but at least he won't end up a loser as of a man.
