@KeepTakingTheSoma @HebrideanHecate @FeartnTired A lot of people, for some utterly unfathomable reason, seem happy to leave their kids to putter about on the Internet without supervision, much like they might allow their kids to watch regular TV before the watershed. It has to be either sheer ignorance, or just some form of laziness.
I am aware that adults have to make up their own minds. But at the same time, there are cultural ideas of what is admirable and what isn't. Right now vacuous glam-fluencing seems to be seen as admirable in the general culture, but there's no reason why that has to be so forever. I suspect at some point the influencer-economy bubble will also burst, and being an influencer ceases to be fashionable.
And then we might finally have some real respite from "people do stupid shit because influencer".
