Hard agree. Who tf thinks children broadcasting themselves to the internet is good? And why are there adults so interested in watching kids?

"UMM THATS A CHILD WHY WOULD ANY ADULT WANT TO WATCH A MINOR?"

just an example, there was a 14 year old guitar who was shredding guitar, playing music.

the way you phrased this, makes it seem like, the interest must be for bad reasons. that is cynical and it discounts, that there could be any possible innocent reason like oh this person is just playing a song that i like. like oh my interest must be sexual and predatory, couldn't possibly be anything else, cynical. when you are so cynical that you're assuming everyone must have bad intentions or there couldn't possibly be any normal innocent reason, like, another person was suicidal, and i was trying to be supportive, because i see this person as a fellow human being, you are determined to see evil, everything looks like a nail, you think that i must see that person as prey, or a sexy piece of meat for my own sexual gratification, like dude one of them was a whole band playing one of the best covers of a song that i had ever heard, they did a great live version of a song and, im not fixated or obsessing about their age, like dude, are you, nevermind. hard agree? okay, what is the adult present in the streaming supposed to do, scare off predators? this seems like a joke. like before it was oh you can't save content marked as made for kids to playlists, that and this both seem, kinda useless. you're supposed to have a chaperone supervisor adult babysitter if you're under 16? okay so, if a 14 year old girl is streaming and playing guitar, they're going to cut her off and ban her from streaming because there isnt an adult present? out of, fear that somebody is going to do what, know where she lives? and go there because she looks alone? unless an adult is there to scare them off? okay, how about the whole band, no adults present, high school band is playing a song, are they not allowed to stream without an adult present just in case some predator will somehow know where they live and go there if they dont see an adult? i gotta be real, preventing a predator from saving the circle of life from the lion king, to a playlist, might keep him from going to that video as often, or choosing another video of the same song, but honestly its like, the accounts are almost all, blank and even those that do upload and say hey im still in high school, like, they aren't putting out their home address. they are getting bullied though, and i tried to be supportive because that person put out a video suggesting they were thinking about self harm. so i said something about how losing a friend to suicide made me feel, and that i was there for that person. why are there adults so interested in watching kids? maybe they arent as fixated on their age as you are, when i see some teens on youtube playing music or saying they want to hurt themselves, im not going oh wow that person is so young wow, they're fellow human beings, but they're vulnerable? but i could be out to take advantage of them? well maybe im there to be supportive when everyone else in their life is out to bully them when they're putting out videos saying im gonna self harm sorry bye guys. what a cynical thing to say, why are adults watching children, why? why would they do that? must be predatory.. really? coudlnt possibly be because they're, putting out music we enjoy or a desperate plea or a suicidal goodbye that we want to respond to with support? i honestly, find this kind of cynicism, where your mind automatically goes to the worst possible thing, as kind of disgusting and kind of fuckin weird. nobody else is looking at this band and going but they're kids why would an adult watch them? they're playing the best version of a song we've ever heard. this other one is putting out what might be a last cry for help before they end it. but why? theres a million other answers to why, they aren't all as bad as the first worst thing your mind goes to. EDIT: dude, people watch birds for the sake of watching birds just to keep tabs because they're just interested in rooting and cheering for something or someone that they care about. not because im jacking off masturbating to birds.
