It kind of is and kind of isn’t. I’m guessing you don’t have kids. You have to pick your battles. Every disagreement or lesson or whatever takes energy. You only get so much per day. Some kids need more energy from you than others.
That said, regarding your original question, mine don’t stream on YouTube and I can’t imagine why a parent would. That is a battle I would pick. They don’t even have computer web cams. (their phones do, but our rule is you can’t have them on when other people are around unless they okay it.)
Nah, I know, my sister spends every waking moment with her daughter and she has her own YouTube. She gets real into it and I would never call my sister a bad parent.
I used to build the internet. Now I don’t. I’m going to keep my kid off the worst of it as long as possible, but I’m gmdoing it by explaining the problems with it as he grows. So far so good, but he’s only 7 so it’s still the easy time for us. Check back in 2-3 years…
I was introduced to computing at a very early age. Consequently my wasted education in liberal arts still led me to a lucrative job. I encourage everyone to embrace emerging tech and figure out how to deal with it along the way.
You don’t want to have the only kid who doesn’t know how the internet works.
You try to control my kids. Good luck. They’re punk rock af. Perhaps too empowered.
Buddy, thanks for the offer but that’s on you.
I’m not strictly against it but I’d hope you spend a lot of time teaching media literacy.

Yeah it’s on me. My kids are living their best life.
My bad.
I did lots of crazy shit as a kid, so I get it.
I also look back now and realize I was a very neglected child.
My kids wish they were neglected lol.
“I get it dad there are fascists everywhere let me play Roblox and go to bed. I won’t go walking without my hat pin”

Terminally online parents create terminally online kids lol
“From you dad! I learned from watching you!”
Parents who spam the internet have kids who spam the internet.
